I've noticed that it does bug me, but I try to let it go. It's only happened to me once. I was at one of the dck's birthday party, and his great grandma sat down to visit with me and my youngest child. She started the conversation with "So you are xxx's babysitter" So immediately I was put off, but I knew it wasn't meant to be rude. She was actually a very nice sweet lady, so I'm glad to have had the chance to meet her. But I obviously still don't feel good about being a "babysitter" instead of a childcare provider. We do so much more than a babysitter, and make so much less money (per hour)! haha
