babysitter

There are several ways to do this sign.  One is to sign "baby" and a shortened form of the sign "take-care-of" + "agent." Which means "keep" or baby keeper."
The other is to sign "baby" + "sit" + "agent."

BABYSITTER (baby + keep + person)


Some people will try to tell you that the "baby" + "sit" version is not "ASL."  I think it is. Let's face it, many, many deaf people use the "sit" version.  Learn them both and don't worry about it.
