    I think I would find a way to jokingly say something back each time to hint that I am not the babysitter.... I.e...."I don't think anyone has called me a babysitter since I was 16."

    I appreciate the Thank you's and when parents try to teach their kids to say thank you at the end of the day but that babysitter bit would probably drive me up the wall day by day. lol
    If they were even the littlest bit annoying at anything else, I would consider saying something. However, they are never late for pickups, never late with payment and never need reminders of what they owe, always keep child home when sick, send in treats often, always polite and friendly, always let me know well ahead of time if someone else is going to be doing drop off or pick ups, have followed every policy and rule, have a fantastic kid. They are the best family I have so getting picky over being thanked as a babysitter seems petty LOL

    Now had one of my past families (who made me go WTF?? daily) said this, I likely would have told them that I am NOT a babysitter haha. It really does depend on who you are and how you say it!!
