Nanny shares, a variation on the typical nanny care arrangement, first became popular when more families became dependent on the incomes of two working parents. With fewer stay-at-home parents, demand for childcare outpaced the supply, so parents began to think of new childcare options. Typically a live-out, or live-in nanny travels each day to one household or alternates if the families take turns hosting the children. Sometimes a nanny lives with one family and cares for the children of two or more families in that home.

A newcomer to Alaska or northwestern Canada, especially the Yukon [who has yet to overcome the severeness of a first winter].

OBS

Cheechako was used for those inexperienced woud-be miners who rushed into the Yukon Territory during the Klondike gold rush of 1897-1899, and so can be found, along with its antithesis "Sourdough, "in the writings of Jack London and Robert Service... In Alaska and Canada there are apparently many criteria that can be used to establish when a newcomer has surpassed the status of Cheechako, and the most popular one seems to be the Cheechako's witnessing both the freezing of the rivers in the fall and, after the long winter, their break-up in the spring.

OBS

Cheechako was originally a Chinook Jargon word for "newcomer," from "chee" (new) and "chako" (come). Russell Tabbert writes in his "Dictionary of Alaskan English" (1991) that this was once a term of outright contempt but recently has become one of "good-humored condescension."

When a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official' s removal from office.
