Definition
A person who watches over someone or something, especially a babysitter who cares for children while parents are away.
Etymology
From 'sit' (Old English sittan, to be seated) plus '-er' (one who does something). The term emerged in the 1800s for people who sat with children.
Kelly Says
Babysitters became a uniquely American teen job in the 1950s when suburban car culture meant parents could go out more—before that, extended families just handled childcare together.
