Please don't use the term lastenhoitaja if you do not have the qualification to be one. A lastenhoitaja is far more than a nanny

Many people use lastenhoitaja also to translate baby sitter (occasional baby sitting, "girl next door giving a hand") and au aupair (culture exchange program, as "a payment" for the family you usually give household and/or baby sitting help), which are something else I agree. But nanny really is lastenhoitaja. To be one, you need qualification (google search: nanny schools) or degree in childcare/education (B. Ed for example, which in Finland qualifies you to be kindergarten teacher). In Finland you can also attend a course of MLL (Mannerheimin Lastensuojelu Liitto) and they will help you to find a job as lastenhoitaja, but they don´t give you qualification recognised elsewhere.

A lastenhoitaja can work as a "nanny" but it's not only that. They can be kindergarden/preschool teachers, they can work in hospitals in children wards and so on.
