[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a MB and when I am with my nanny in social situations, I often introduce her as the baby's babysitter. To me, saying she is my nanny makes it sound more like I am calling her my domestic servant, so to me, it sounds more respectful to introduce her as a babysitter. Am I off-base? Would she likely prefer to be called my nanny?[/quote] You should ask her! I think most nannies prefer to be called nannies than babysitters - the former implies much more in terms of respectability, qualifications, and her role in your child's life, whereas any 13-year-old can be a babysitter. OP, yes it annoys me when people ask me how my "babysitting" is going, but I just smile and say it's going wonderfully. I don't need to tell them that I'm making and saving more than they are sitting in their "important" offices ;)[/quote]
