'''Nannies''' or '''babysitters''' are [[service]] NPCs that take care of Sims' [[child]]ren, [[toddler]]s, and [[Baby|babies]] at home while they are away for the day. Otherwise, all older Sims of the household will be unable to leave their home lot{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} unless sent to the daycare.{{Vgversion|TS4}} A player might even, albeit situationally, hire the nanny even when eligible caregivers are around, but unable to provide care to the little ones for whatever reason.
'''Nannies''' or '''babysitters''' are [[service]] NPCs that care for Sims' [[child]]ren, [[toddler]]s, and [[Baby|babies]] while they are away. Older Sims cannot leave their home lot if doing so would leave a younger Sim home alone,{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} unless they send them to [[daycare]].{{Vgversion|TS4}} The nanny or babysitter will take care of a Sim's children (bathing, feeding, changing, and interacting with babies, toddlers, and children), as well as tidy up the house by doing things like emptying the potty and making the beds. They can be fired or dismissed at any time, and a new one can be hired to replace them.


A Sim can choose to hire the nanny or babysitter on a one-time only basis. The nanny can also "track the schedule" (the work hours) of a Sim, allowing them to automatically come whenever the Sim's work schedule would cause children to be left alone. If there are no babies or toddlers in the house, it is best to have the nanny track the Sim's schedule, so that she will not come while the children are in school. If there are no babies or toddlers in the house, and a Sim returns home from work at 3 PM, it is not necessary to hire a nanny.
Nannies first appeared in ''The Sims 2'', which later were replace by babysitters in ''The Sims 3''. ''The Sims 4'', features both types of NPCs. Starting with ''The Sims 3'', children (apart from [[babies]] and [[toddlers]]) don't need a babysitter's supervision, therefor can be left alone if they're the only younger Sims at home.


Nannies and babysitters are hired over the [[phone]]. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4'', they charge a base fee of §10 and §60 respectively, plus an additional hourly rate of §15 and §10 respectively. In ''The Sims 3'', babysitters charge a flat rate of §75 for coming over, but do not charge for the hour.
