Yes, it is you are very intelligent good for you!! It is spelled like this baby-sitter, I'm glad that your brain is growing each day! You are one smart apple, you are just a firecracker of smartness! I am so pleased in you oh, what joy this day brings me! Whoever you are you are the most intelligent person in the world! Congratulations to you and only you, have a wonderful day!! CV-19

In defence of CV-19's wonderous exuberance (above), "babysitter" is shown as a hyphenated derivative of the word "baby-sit" in older dictionaries, and continues to show up in newer ones, at least as an alternate spelling, but (and this is, if nothing else, personal opinion), the hyphenated version seems a bit antiquated and clumsy by today's usage. Personally I would not hyphenate this word, and neither would most of the literary world. The language changes and so must we. Egads and forsooth!!
