sitters
Hired child watchers
Sitters is the plural of sitter—someone who sits, or more commonly, someone who watches over something while another is away.
A babysitter minds children; a house sitter looks after a home; a pet sitter cares for animals.
In art, a sitter is the subject of a portrait.
In sports, a sitter is an easy shot that a player should never miss: He had an open goal but missed a sitter.
