childminder
Paid home caregiver
A childminder is a person who looks after children in their own home for payment, typically while parents are at work.
The term is primarily British; Americans would say babysitter or daycare provider.
Unlike nannies, who work in the family's home, childminders care for children at the minder's residence: She found a registered childminder near her office.
