On the contrary going through the above description about babysitter and a nanny one thing is quite sure that except taking care of children during the absence of their presence, there is vast difference between their services. But considering similarity between a babysitter, nanny and a maid is totally injustice.

• As you offer courtesy snacks, tea or some drink to the guests visiting your home, similarly making arrangements of snacks or tea etc will let the babysitter not only feel happy but will also make him realize his value in your eyes.
