Female babysitters
Definition
A plural form sometimes used in colloquial or unofficial language to designate multiple female babysitters (nannies). Although strict Romanian grammatical norms recommend the masculine/generic plural 'babysitteri' for both genders, this variant appears adapted after the Romanian inflectional pattern for feminine nouns ending in a consonant.
