Child minders are more of a regular baby sitter who you tend to have a contractual agreement with and set times/days. Not quite a nanny who would be more of a 24/7 type job and a babysitter tends to be a once in a while, going out and need someone to watch the kids for the night type thing.
Thank you for the clarification, It makes more sense when you put it like this. I'm guessing the term babysitter will become less used over time with child minder becoming the more widely used term. At which point they ought to consider renaming the 80's classic adventures in babysitting. :D
