My husband and I are members of a Private Club in Hong Kong. This morning, I had my son taken to the doctor for his 12th month immunization. Because he got very upset with the needles, I thought it would be nice to cheer him up by buying him a new toy for being brave anyway (he had 2 shots today!), so my (full time-stay-at-home) babysitter, my son and I ended up going up to the club so he could play in the kiddie's room while i lookedfor his toy.

Being it a private club and all, mobile phones should remain off or if you could get away and as long as the other members are not disturbed, have it on silent mode... I realized that my sitter had tried to ring me 3 times. When I called her back, she said that they were asked to leave the club and they're both staying outside but in a 'GUARDIAN'S AREA'. I have never felt embarrassed my whole life, not because of my babysitter but because we are somehow part of that establishment who is prejudiced to what they call in their guidelines - SERVANTS! I have never treated my babysitter as anyone different but I treat her like an extension of our family. I cannot believe that I've encountered anything like that myself. I used to just hear about them! Should I let them know that it disturbed me how they see hardworking / honest people as lesser people than any of them?

I would absolutely tell the manager of your club that you don't appreciate the way they treated your babysitter. They were rude and it was uncalled for, especially considering she was with your son, regardless of his age.

Uncle Al is absolutely correct. However, if your sitter was asked to leave because she was your "Sitter" I would first, no longer be a member of this club, and secondly, while relinquishing membership let the owner's know why.

This all depends as to why the baby sitter was asked to leave. Did you consider the possibility that either her or your child were not maintaining the level of behavior expected in that establishment?

It is always right to stand up for the right. (You already knew the answer to this question. I'm wondering why you even asked it. ? )
