What is the meaning of 付きっきり?

I usually see it used in the sense of "babysitting" is this the only meaning?

[Jisho](https://jisho.org/search/%E4%BB%98%E3%81%8D%E3%81%A3%E3%81%8D%E3%82%8A)
defines it as "constant attendance; uninterrupted supervision; staying with
someone all the time", while
[Weblio](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BB%98%E3%81%8D%E5%88%87%E3%82%8A):

> 少しも離れることなく付き添うこと。つきっきり

which I would translate as "To attend to someone without ever leaving", so it
means to attend on someone costantly; "babysitting" fits in this, but given
Weblio's example (付きっきりで看病する, "To nurse someone costantly") I'd say it has a
broader meaning.
