That's what I would say also but didn't have my own saying mommy. When I started daycare my own were school age and I only did daycare in the summer months for all school age children so it didn't come up.
However later I became a grandmother and my grandchildren were in my daycare so they called me 'grandma' and then dck's called me grandma too. I liked it though and their parents didn't mind. But grandma seems a bit different than mom.
Sometimes my grandkids would say "No, she's MY grandma!" and get upset but then I'd whisper to them that I was ONLY their grandma but the kids just say that. That seemed to make them feel okay. It was like it was our little secret.
