Remembered and rang for a baby-sitter? (6,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

called to mind

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

'remembered' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'rang for a baby-sitter?' is the wordplay.
'rang' becomes 'called' ('call' can be a synonym of 'ring').
'for' becomes 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of').
'a baby-sitter?' becomes 'mind' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'called'+'to'+'mind'='CALLED TO MIND'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for called to mind that I've seen is " Recollected".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
