One of the most undervalued jobs out there is babysitting. Many people believe that it is not a job at all.

They frequently fail to grasp that they are only witnessing the top of the iceberg because the babysitting industry is far more complex and demanding than you might imagine. In this industry, there is a lot of supply and demand, and that should work well, right?

However, what parents want is totally different from what babysitters desire. Namely, parents would like to pay a minimal amount per hour and only for the hours when children are awake.

On the other side, babysitters would love to babysit a motionless doll and get paid thousands of dollars for it. So, you see that there is plenty of space for misunderstandings and confrontations.

Oh, did we forget the unrealistic ideas that parents have about their kids? In their eyes, they are angels.

But in reality, they are far from it. Each parent has a story to tell about their babysitter, and each babysitter has at least one to tell.

Well, probably more like hundreds and thousands. Today, we are showing some of the most amusing, humorous, wholesome, and even unpleasant babysitting incidents that most people are likely never to forget.

Taking care of someone else's child is extremely difficult, especially because you have to comply with someone else's rules about upbringing - even if you believe they are ridiculous, weird, or plain stupid. And that is not an easy task.

That's why mostly young people do it. They still have the nerves to deal with the children's parents.
