How do you say "babysitter" in spanish? (Como se dice "babysitter" in español?) It doesn't have to be exactly "babysitter," but something along that line. Thank you! ¡Gracias!

**Side note** It would be helpful if it was in masculine form. ¡Gracias! - djames01, Sep 27, 2011

babysitter I seem to remember the term "canguro" which evokes some interesting mental pictures.

Thank you so much for the link! It is so strange that "canguro" did not come up in my search results... - djames01, Sep 27, 2011
I think we have some previous threads on babysitter. - 0074b507, Sep 27, 2011
Very cute picture too! :) - djames01, Sep 27, 2011
Oops, I forgot to check... but those would come up in search results wouldn't they? - djames01, Sep 27, 2011
The search engine can be somewhat finicky at times. - 0074b507, Sep 27, 2011
Sure! Just type "babysitter". Good luck! - 00a4c226, Sep 27, 2011
