"Please, don't call me Babysitter."

Little children come to me for hugs, books, and such,

I care for all their special needs, and also fix them lunch.

I pick up toys, mop up spills, and dry their tears.

I change their diapers, settle fights, and kiss away their fears.

I tie their shoes, button their coats, and push them on the swing.

I really love these kids, you see, but there is just one thing...

Call me Auntie, Mom, or Teacher,.... or any other names that fit,

But, Please... Don't call me 'sitter', because I never sit !
