Redditor Refuses To Pay High-Priced Babysitter As She Didn't Do Anything From The Simple Task List, Gets Slammed On Facebook Groups

by Filip

Every parent desires the best for their children. So, when it comes to the babysitter, it's almost impossible to find the perfect one.

As a parent, you'll always notice some things that are not to your liking. But what should someone do if nothing is as agreed?

Well, that question bothers a Reddit user also, so she wanted some help and reached out to the Reddit community. The OP explained she and her husband arranged to go to a nearby cinema.

Considering the duration of the movie, as well as the commute, they sought babysitting services for a three-hour period. The OP found a potential babysitter named B from a Facebook group and agreed to her rate of $25 per hour per child.

The OP provided B with a list of tasks for her two boys, six and four years old. The list included engaging the kids, feeding them, ensuring they brush their teeth, and getting them to bed by a specific time.

Additionally, she instructed B to tidy up after the children's playtime. But upon returning home, the OP found her children still awake and playing, way past their bedtime.

Their faces and hands were messy from food, and the house was a mess. Instead of supervising the children, B was in the kitchen, engrossed in her phone.

When the OP confronted her, B explained that the boys didn't want to listen to her and asked for her payment. The OP, deeply dissatisfied with B's performance, refused to pay her.

This led to a heated discussion and B's leave without her expected wages. After this incident and talking to other mothers in the Facebook group, the OP fears future difficulties in finding babysitters from the community.

So, she seeks opinions on whether she was in the wrong in this situation.

Ensuring the well-being and safety of one's children is every parent's top priority. When arrangements are made, especially in a situation as personal as babysitting, clear expectations are set for a reason.

When one hires a service, and it's not delivered as agreed upon, withholding payment is a logical consequence. But, still, the Redditors told the OP that she should have paid her something.
