Nanny (9)
I believe the answer is:
nursemaid
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">nanny</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(both can mean someone who looks after children)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "Alice, for example" , "One employed to care for small children" , "female carer" , "Girl tending young children" , "caretaker" .)
