I’m not a good babysitter – I never really have been. The dynamic I can’t understand with babysitting is why kids need you to entertain them the entire time. Maybe it’s because growing up I preferred to stay in my room and just sort of create things with my imagination, but I don’t get it.
I conclude from this that I would make a terrible nanny. Having to be a babysitter day in and day out for many hours at a time sounds like a nightmare, especially if the kids themselves are tricky, like the ones in these confessions from real nannies.
