Teenager with a babysitter

I am a teen and I still have a babysitter. My parents sometimes have to go abroad for a longer time and then they have a babysitter for me. Her name is Sarah and she has been my babysitter for like 6 years now. She is really nice and she always cooks nice things. But she is also serious sometimes and she is big on rules and respect

Like others said, the need for a "sitter" can vary among teens and parental approaches. They probably feel more "at ease" knowing someone is there watching over you, so to speak. Especially if they travel for long periods of time. Sounds like you and Sarah have a good relationship, and it does not bother you a such. She's probably like another parent.
