A career then?
Anybody who does a job well and has a part of their soul invested does more then a job.

There may be differences between being a nanny and being a parent, but
anyone caring for children, in whatever capacity, takes on a huge
responsibility.  For a good nanny or teacher, caring for kids is far more
than just a job.
