babysitters
Hired evening caregivers
Babysitters are people hired to look after children while parents are away, typically for short periods like an evening out.
The term implies temporary, informal care rather than professional childcare: We need to find a babysitter for Saturday night.
Figuratively, to babysit can mean supervising anyone or anything that shouldn't need it: I'm not here to babysit the interns.
