A nanny is like a babysitter, except they are employed on a regular basis. They serve as in-house employees rather than having parents send their kids off to day care. On Aliens in the Family, the Brody family hired a woman named Sally to serve as nanny to Bobut, but found herself quickly harried by the experience. On Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a young woman named Debbie worked as the nanny to Savannah Weaver, daughter of Catherine Weaver. This was a rough gig for her, since it ultimately resulted in being shot in the head by a T-888 Terminator posing as a water delivery guy.
