    I would simply and politely make the correction and move on. They have no idea it even bothers you unless you say something.

        I have been called a babysitter, a teacher, a daycare provider, and others. Usually it's just our "Miss A" -- so I don't get called any of them but I don't care what they call me as long as its' respectful.

          It's all semantics to me. The parents don't say "babysitter" to insult us. Just like we don't mean any offense by saying "stewardess" instead of "flight attendant", "trashman" instead of "sanitation worker", or "secretary" instead of administrative assistant. Doesn't really matter to me as long as I am treated with respect.
