What do they call you?

Hi,

Im just wondering what other minders have their minded children call them?

I personally prefer my full first name, rather than the shortened version that my friends call me. I also have a little boy who calls me "nanny" which I LOVE! (Specially because he cant pronounce it properly so it doesnt even sound like "nanny"!!). One of my mums the other day asked me if her LO can call me aunty...for some reason Im uncomfortable with that.

What does everyone else do?

All my mindees call me Carol although one mindee calls me the best childminder in the world!!!

Bless him and that's after I make him eat his vegetables

He also does say we are part of his family which makes this job so special.

Carol xx

They call me Donna, one little girl calls me 'my Donna' which is quite sweet, another has started calling me 'Don Don' which i am trying to discourage.

1 Family years ago called me Auntie June (as they said I was like their family) and now its stuck .
When I went to work in our village Nursery the Headmistress let me choose what I wanted the children to call me , I did not want to be "Miss" I think its nicer to be called by your name so that s what I decided on.
Merry Christmas Everyone

They all call me Holly except one family who call me auntie Holly because they don't want mother-in-law to know they have a childminder!!!

Apparantly she disapproves of mum working - she should be home looking after her own children ha ha!!

I am dreading meeting her in town one day when I have the children - what will I say????
