Being a nanny is never boring, but some experiences take things to a whole new level. , These stories record the wild, intense, and sometimes downright bizarre moments caregivers have faced from sudden dangers to mind-blowing twists. Each story brings an eye about a world where real life feels stranger than fiction.<\/p>\n
At 17, I used to babysit a pair of twins. The mom and dad were secretive and quiet, but they paid very well. One night, they didn\u2019t return. At 4 a.m., I started to really panic. Then, I turned on the TV\u2014and froze when I saw them. I discovered that they had been arrested for embezzling money from multiple companies. It turned out I had been working for con artists.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know what to do or where to take the\u00a0kids. Minutes later, the police arrived. After asking me a few questions, they let me go.<\/p>\n
I never saw the parents again, but I know they went to prison. Still, I can\u2019t stop thinking about the poor kids.<\/p>\n
When I\u00a0was 13, I\u00a0got a\u00a0job\u00a0babysitting for my\u00a0neighbors. They had two little girls who were the easiest kids to\u00a0look after. The mom and dad were super nice people. The dad was a\u00a0nurse who worked mainly nights, and the mom worked from home. She would ask me\u00a0to\u00a0come over on\u00a0Friday nights so\u00a0she could go\u00a0out and have some downtime. I\u00a0quickly found out, though, that she was seeing other men.<\/p>\n

The first night I\u00a0babysat, the mom informed me\u00a0she would be\u00a0home no\u00a0later than midnight. Well, 4\u00a0a.m. rolled around, and\u00a0I was woken up\u00a0by\u00a0noise on\u00a0the porch. I\u00a0saw her hastily kissing another man. She apologized for being late, paid\u00a0me (she was $5\u00a0short), and\u00a0I went home to\u00a0my\u00a0mom, who was upset that she had kept me\u00a0so\u00a0late.<\/p>\n
The same thing happened two more times. She\u2019d promise to\u00a0be\u00a0home by\u00a0midnight but would come home at\u00a03\u00a0or 4\u00a0in\u00a0the morning, each time with a\u00a0different guy. And each time, she would short me\u00a0a\u00a0little of\u00a0what I\u00a0earned. My\u00a0mom eventually put a\u00a0stop to\u00a0it\u00a0and called her out for cheating on\u00a0her husband. They ended up\u00a0getting\u00a0divorced\u00a0not long after that.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Unknown author\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

I\u00a0babysat a\u00a0little boy who had severe emotional problems. One time, he\u00a0ran away while\u00a0I was upstairs playing with his sister. He\u00a0went to\u00a0the park down the block, climbed a\u00a0tree, and refused to\u00a0come down because he\u00a0believed \u201cno\u00a0one\u00a0loved\u00a0him.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u00a0was young and didn\u2019t think about calling the police or\u00a0anything. I\u00a0just sat at\u00a0the bottom of\u00a0the tree and literally talked him down. I\u00a0convinced him that\u00a0I loved him and wanted him to\u00a0come home. His siblings also helped by\u00a0saying they loved him too. It\u00a0was so\u00a0scary.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0mieds\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n
I\u00a0was a\u00a0nanny for a\u00a0year. I\u00a0should have seen the red flag when\u00a0I realized\u00a0I was the 5th nanny for a\u00a02 1\/2-year-old girl\u2026 Doesn\u2019t say much about how long the others stayed. Honestly, it\u00a0wasn\u2019t the child\u2019s fault. She had two parents who had kids as\u00a0accessories or\u00a0because all their friends had kids.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0had to\u00a0keep a\u00a0log of\u00a0the \u201cdevil child\u2019s\u201d activities\u2014how many tortellini she ate, how many minutes of\u00a0TV time or\u00a0outside time she had, how many ounces of\u00a0milk the baby boy drank, when\u00a0I changed his diaper, and what was in\u00a0his diaper\u2026 you get the hint. The mom wanted to\u00a0feel involved without actually being involved.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0wasn\u2019t allowed to\u00a0use the word \u201cno\u201d because it\u00a0was too negative. I\u00a0wasn\u2019t supposed to\u00a0use negative phrasing such as\u00a0\u201cdon\u2019t throw that on\u00a0the floor.\u201d Instead, I\u00a0was instructed to\u00a0say, \u201cleave that on\u00a0the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u00a0couldn\u2019t send the child to\u00a0her room because it\u00a0was supposed to\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0happy place. I\u00a0had to\u00a0place her in\u00a0timeout, but, of\u00a0course, what 2 1\/2-year-old sits in\u00a0timeout? So, I\u00a0had to\u00a0sit in\u00a0timeout too. Lots of\u00a0fun when you also have a\u00a06-month-old to\u00a0care for.
\nThe parents refused to\u00a0go\u00a0anywhere or\u00a0do\u00a0anything unless both of\u00a0them were available, but\u00a0I got to\u00a0do\u00a0the groceries with both kids in\u00a0tow. I\u00a0had to\u00a0do\u00a0\u201cmommy and\u00a0me\u201d gymnastics with the little girl while the baby was strapped to\u00a0me\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0carrier.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Annami316\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Watching a\u00a0family\u00a0and had just put the kids to\u00a0bed. I\u00a0was watching\u00a0TV and heard the garage door open, so\u00a0I knew the parents had just arrived. The door opens from the garage, and in\u00a0walks a\u00a06\u20193\u2033 man. I\u00a0froze and was thinking that the kids and\u00a0I were in\u00a0danger.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0guess the oldest kid was still awake and came downstairs and yelled out, \u2019Darrell!\u2019 and went and hugged him. Apparently, this guy was living in\u00a0the basement, and the parents forgot to\u00a0mention\u00a0it. When they did get home, they apologized profusely and gave me\u00a0extra money.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Awdra\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

I\u00a0was watching 3\u00a0kids at\u00a0the time, one girl and two boys. We\u00a0were all playing a\u00a0game, and\u00a0I turned around for just a\u00a0second. When I\u00a0turned back, the youngest boy (5\u00a0years old) was gone. I\u00a0found him in\u00a0the living room trying to\u00a0take all of\u00a0the framed pictures off the walls.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0heh88\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n
I\u00a0once babysat three children: two boys and a\u00a0girl. The girl was the youngest and was supposed to\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0bed an\u00a0hour before the boys. I\u00a0specifically asked the parents if\u00a0that was going to\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0problem, and they assured me\u00a0that it\u00a0was how it\u00a0always worked and she\u2019d be\u00a0fine.<\/p>\n
When bedtime came, the girl protested, so\u00a0I tried all kinds of\u00a0things\u2014telling her I\u2019d tell her a\u00a0great story or\u00a0trying to\u00a0make it\u00a0into a\u00a0game\u2026 Nothing worked, and she started crying. After that, the two older boys completely turned on\u00a0me, and all three of\u00a0them became united against\u00a0me. They told their sister that she didn\u2019t have to\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0bed. Then, all three of\u00a0them started chanting,\u00a0\u201cWE\u00a0HATE YOU, WORST BABYSITTER EVER,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0while running around the house.<\/p>\n I\u00a0don\u2019t remember how the evening ended (I\u00a0think\u00a0I blocked it\u00a0out), but I\u00a0do remember avoiding that family\u2019s calls a\u00a0bunch.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0coughdrop01\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n At\u00a019, I\u00a0used to\u00a0babysit a\u00a0little boy. His mom was super beautiful. She would leave the house at\u00a07\u00a0p.m. and return before midnight. One night, she didn\u2019t return. I\u00a0was worried; she didn\u2019t answer my\u00a0calls.<\/p>\n At\u00a03\u00a0a.m., I\u00a0turned on\u00a0the TV\u2014and froze when\u00a0I saw her. Turns out this woman was arrested alongside a\u00a0man described as\u00a0a\u00a0wealthy and successful businessman. I\u00a0found out that she was his girlfriend, and the guy had been involved in\u00a0a\u00a0serious fraud scheme. The police had raided them while they were having drinks together.<\/p>\n Fortunately, she was released after the authorities couldn\u2019t find any evidence of\u00a0her involvement. When I\u00a0saw her again, she explained that she\u2019d only been dating him for a\u00a0few months and hadn\u2019t known about his shady activities. The poor woman was heartbroken and remained genuinely devastated for months.<\/p>\n When I\u00a0was in\u00a0high school, my\u00a0best friend and\u00a0I used to\u00a0babysit these two kids together (1\u00a0and 5). The baby was asleep, and the older one was allowed to\u00a0stay up\u00a0until\u00a09 (it\u00a0was almost 8). He\u00a0was a\u00a0great kid, but my\u00a0friend and\u00a0I (we\u00a0were best friends) wanted to\u00a0watch\u00a0TV and hang out, so\u00a0we\u00a0came up\u00a0with this grand idea to\u00a0change the clocks so\u00a0that they all said\u00a09, and he\u00a0would think it\u00a0was time for bed.<\/p>\n It\u00a0was easy moving them forward, but it\u00a0was not so\u00a0easy turning them back! Just picture\u00a0us slinking around in\u00a0the dark, trying not to\u00a0wake the 5-year-old who wasn\u2019t tired, just to\u00a0change the clocks back. I\u00a0think we\u00a0finally got it\u00a0all back to\u00a0\u201cnormal\u201d after\u00a010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being a nanny is never boring, but some experiences take things to a whole new level. , These stories record the wild, intense, and sometimes downright bizarre… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/div>\nStory 10:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
