it's likely that the only way you'll hear it is if you hear a parent talking to someone about you, or if they're relaying a story to you: "i told her i have a babysitter."

you can fight it all you want, but unfortunately, that's how most parents and society in general sees child care providers. i have a bachelor's degree in early childhood, taught school, and still as a provider was referred to as "the babysitter."
