what do your mindees call you?

**Blackhorse** · 08-04-2009, 08:25 PM

Is it auntie something or your name??
(I know it is ultimately up to me what I tell them but just want to find out what is the usual...iyswim)

Back home we used to call everyone in the nurseries etc auntie and then their name so I would be auntie Nicole...

is that what is happening here?

**Minstrel** · 08-04-2009, 08:29 PM

i want them just to call me by my name.

auntie always reminds me of old friends of my parents that we had to call auntie even though they werent!

my mindees are all under the age of 18months so i get called with a grunt or i do get mumma or my eldest calls my winny (my names lynsey). When they do start talking i think i'll just get them to call me by my name.

They all call me Sue, though one of the LO's calls me Suey, makes me laugh.

Deb generally, but the 4 year old I have most of the week calls me Grandma a lot. One of my minding friends is nearing retirement and everyone refers to her as mama - she has been minding over 25 years now; I like that.

**sammy** · 08-04-2009, 08:44 PM

they call me mam (my names sam) or mummy-they are all little, i do say "no im not mummy im sam" but they copy my boys!

**Peppa** · 08-04-2009, 08:53 PM

**nannysue** · 08-04-2009, 09:02 PM

They all call me Janis, I like it like that (apart from when my own son calls me it!!! lol). One of them has taken to calling me Jan for short which makes me laugh as she sounds so grown up when she says it!

**flora** · 08-04-2009, 09:17 PM

Two of mine call me " the evil one"

Itis said with affection and is a standing joke with them re something that happened years ago and has stuck.

Failing that they call me " the evil childminder"

**huggableshelly** · 08-04-2009, 09:18 PM

my youngest (21 months) calls me moma

others call me shell or somtimes miss lol

only parents use my real name, my eldest (11) has taken to calling me sis!

Pipsqueak · 08-04-2009, 09:20 PM

I occasionally get called Mummy!!! generally though its variations on my name - one child called me Ficky, another called me Wicky - prefer the latter I think

**Heaven Scent** · 08-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Most just call me by my own name or mum but 2 called me muma Celine or muma lene.

**Willowdancer** · 08-04-2009, 09:23 PM

Just by my first name - although I've accidentally called myself mummy a couple of times this week

**Angela234** · 08-04-2009, 10:03 PM

Young ones always start calling me Nanny as my grandchildren do as they get older Angela

we leave it to the kids to decide some of them call us auntie and our names or just our names we dont mind either way and the parents call us auntie as well

**FussyElmo** · 09-04-2009, 06:43 AM
