20 Choosing Beggars Trying To Scam People Into Babysitting For Free

by Chelsi

Babysitters, nannies, or childcare, whichever way you want to call it, should be paid what they deserve. The circumstances they face are not easy and you’re literally trusting them with your children. 

Parents aren’t the best bosses to deal with either. They would give them a list of rules that they should strictly abide by and it’s harder when they’re working for a new family. 

Babysitters are expected to keep their eye on the children every second they’re there without room to even pee sometimes. Parents can’t even do that themselves and yet there’s a special breed of them that tries to scam nannies into babysitting for free.

The situation is unfortunately common. There are a lot of stories online about how parents find every loophole and way to squeeze babysitters in to watch their kids for hours then turn up without paying them.

There are also people who post job descriptions online trying to bait unsuspecting babysitters, offering less than minimum wage for a mountain of requirements. It gets ridiculous the more it goes on.

They can be labeled as choosing beggars. Choosing beggars are those who exploit people for services and products but choose not to pay them.

They’re notorious in Reddit stories, under the subreddit r/choosingbeggars. And to know more about these kinds of Karens, we’ve listed out a number of them to cringe over.

It’s an infant and toddlers to look after, do you really want to hire those who only pass the bare minimum of your offer?

Parents like these are running on an entitlement high and wouldn’t reflect their own experiences of hard parenting. If roles are reversed and you told them that what they do like watching their kids every single day for free is easy, they would probably flip out. 

Do you think people are overreacting when they call out these choosing beggars? You can say what you think in our comments.
