nursery worker

Toddler room attendant

A nursery worker cares for young children in a daycare or childcare facility, or tends plants in a horticultural nursery.

The two meanings rarely cause confusion—context makes clear whether someone is watching toddlers or watering seedlings: She's been a nursery worker at the daycare for six years.

The nursery workers were busy potting new arrivals.
