Parents can’t do it all themselves, especially when it comes to kids. They need a little bit of help whenever they need a break. That’s when babysitters come in, so they can go out for a night out or take that extra shift at work. Babysitters are a literal God send when it comes to saving the day.
It takes a sh*t ton of trust for parents to let someone else take care of their kids. My mom would only let my grandma take care of me for years until she was fully confident in another person to take over those duties. That’s just the deal with moms, ya know?
Having a complete stranger take care of your pride and joy is a nothing short of harrowing. What if they put the kids in danger? What if they give them too much sugar and the kids are still up running around past midnight? There are too many “what if’s” when it comes to a shady caretaker.
