Kids and Babysitter: Good job

Good job

By whatnow - 01/04/2012 02:52 - United States - Carmel

Today, I fell asleep on the couch while babysitting. When the kids' parents came home, they made fake crying noises to see if I would wake up. I slept like a baby, and by the time they finally roused me, I'd left a nice drool stain on the armrest. FML

Wake me up before you go go

By Sam - 13/02/2025 09:00 - United States

Today, I took a nap while I was on my lunch break. When I woke up, I realized my coworker had put a Post-it note on my face that said, "Wake me up before I start drooling." I'd definitely drooled. FML

Dream baby dream

Today, I had to babysit a 9 year-old girl. I hadn't slept for almost 40 hours and fell half-asleep while sitting on her couch for two minutes. She asked me something, but I thought it was a dream and answered with, "Your mom's a hoe." When I woke up, I realized I'd said it out loud instead of in my head. FML

Today, I was babysitting my co-worker's son. He was eating Jell-o and spilled it on his top, so I pulled off his PJ's, and went in his room to grab a new pair. I heard a thunk and ran to find him out cold on the floor. His parents walked in on me trying to wake up their naked 3 year-old. FML

Today, I was babysitting a really bratty little girl. She came and cuddled up on the couch so I took it as an apology. I feel asleep while she was sitting with me and when I woke up she had peed on me. She locked herself in her room and was laughing about peeing on me for discipling her. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 6 year-old and a 9 year-old. After they went to bed, I started working on a project for on my laptop that was due in 12 hours and fell asleep. I woke up to a dog licking my peanut buttered keyboard and the two kids sitting in the corner giggling. FML

Today, I came home from work, only to find the babysitter passed out on the couch with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. At some point, it seems my son had taken the liberty of peeing on her while she slept. FML

Back to square one

Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML

Today, I was watching a movie with my boyfriend and his parents, who I haven't known very long. I ended up falling asleep. That doesn't sound so bad, until I woke my drooling self up by snoring extremely loud. FML

Treat yourself!

Today, I'd planned on treating myself to a spa day. I'd booked a massage and was so relaxed that I fell asleep during it. When I woke up, I realized that I had drooled all over the massage table. FML

How sweet

By Birdman - 23/06/2018 15:00

Today, my 3-year-old fell asleep in our bed while cuddling me, and I let him stay since he was being so sweet. In the middle of the night, he took off his pants and pissed all over my head and back. FML

Maybe you should consider a new job. I know babysitting can be boring but this isn't a job you can slack on. Anything can happen and if you sleep that hard lives could be in danger.

You're lucky they didn't sharpie a penis on your forehead. That's what I do to babysitters who fall asleep in my house.

First of all, everyone needs to calm down!! I am a nanny and if the kids were sleeping, it's no big deal. Which I'm sure they were. Don't beat yourself up. It was a mistake. I'm sure you still have your job!

The folks I babysat for would invite me to curl up on the couch and rest if the kids were in bed, even as youngsters. There's this nifty little invention called a baby monitor that worked like a charm when placed beside my head with the television turned down.

I'm a babysitter and I nearly always take a short nap. If the kid is already in bed then there is no reason you can't either. Granted, if you're a deep sleeper maybe you don't need to be sleeping. Or set an alarm to wake you every few minutes. Although typically, you will wake up if you hear a child crying, it's like instinct.

I don't think babysitting is the best thing for you. At least they could fend for themselves for the time that you were asleep lol:)

If those had been my kids, you wouldn't have gotten paid.

That's like the number one rule of babysitting, that an not setting the house on fire. Really, I've done it, it's not that hard to make sure that the kids are safe and happy for a few hours.
