A very young artists model? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

babysitter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a very young artists' is the wordplay.
'a very young' becomes 'baby'.
'artists' becomes 'sitter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'baby'+'sitter'='BABYSITTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for babysitter that I've seen before include "One left in charge" , "Childminder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
