childminders
Paid home supervisors
Childminders are people who look after children in their own homes for pay, 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 in the childminder's residence, often looking after several children from different families at once.
