Fire The Sitter

From AsteroidMiner:
"The babysitter would sniff the kids' underwear after changing them."
Arrest These Workers
[ranking: 2]
From NDRoughNeck:
"My brother had a camera that was left in the basement for safety reasons. He had some workers over to fix a tile shower since it didn't drain properly. I guess the guys were pretty annoyed at having to fix it, but it's their own fault for not doing it right the first time. Fast forward a couple weeks to when my brother's sister-in-law is turning 21. They were in his basement bar when they started pouring shots of Viniq for her. As they were pouring they could smell something wasn't right. Her boyfriend immediately thought it smelled like nail polish remover.
They decided to check the camera and sure enough, the workers drank some alcohol and replaced it with a full bottle of nail polish remover. They found the empty bottle under the bathroom sink and my brother's wife knew that was her unopened bottle she had bought previously. Kind of messed up."
A Garbage Situation
[ranking: 3]
From Pazzam:
"I was babysitting for my sister a few months ago and was checking on my two-year-old nephew through the nanny cam, asleep in his crib. I got up to put dinner in the oven and when I came back I checked the cam again and...
There was a huge black mass in the crib with him.
My sister doesn't have any pets, so I was like 'WTF!? A black dog or cat or something had got in and is attacking my nephew!'
I ran upstairs like sh*t off a shovel and saw, to my horror, my nephew has pulled a black bin liner (garbage bag) into the cot with him and had crawled inside! I got him straight out of it and he was fine. I took the bin liner back downstairs and just sat on the floor crying.
This was my first time babysitting for my sister. I had a go at her when she got home, 'Who keeps a bin liner where their baby could get it?' And she said there was one in his cupboard full of nappies (diapers) well out of reach, so we checked and the nappies were in there but the bag had been taken out, somehow."
Chatting To Her Phantom Sister
[ranking: 4]
From TheBrontosaurus:
"I'm a nanny and I take care of a five-year-old girl (only child). She has a camera in her room and I can watch her on the iPad in the kitchen. Last few times I watched her at night she'd lay awake chatting away before falling asleep.
I asked her who she was talking to and she said 'my baby sister'... her parents had a miscarriage when this girl was not quite a year old."
A Will And A Way
[ranking: 5]
From TooPrettyForJail:
"Using a baby monitor to care for aging parent. My sister comes in and tries to convince my dad to cut me out of the will and give everything to her."
It's A Dog-Eat-Dog World
[ranking: 6]
From crushing2013:
"Buddy of mine had a kid at the beginning of last year and discovered that both his cat and his beagle would climb into the crib with the baby occasionally during naps. Cute right? Both animals made it a habit to climb in, kick/push the baby to the very side of the crib and curl up in the middle completely alone.
You'd catch them glaring at the kid if he started to roll back over and invade their space."
Noisy Neighbors
[ranking: 7]
From Pineapplespaceman:
"When my niece was around four years old I had her stay for a weekend while her parents went away. They loaned me a baby monitor because I sleep like the dead and probably wouldn't hear her from my attic bedroom if she woke in the night.
I was just settling down to sleep when I heard this horrendous hacking cough over the monitor, I bolted to her room thinking that she was choking but she was still sound asleep.
A few minutes later I heard it again but this time there was a female voice too saying 'Shhh, you will wake her up.' I charged in there again to find her fast asleep and alone.
It was then that I realized one of my neighbors must have the same cheap ass baby monitor and I was picking that up."
Ready To Shank Someone
[ranking: 8]
From foolseveryday:
"When I'm home from college I babysit for these pretty wealthy people. At the time the boys I would babysit were about two years old and nine months old. It was summer and I had laid the younger one down for a nap, then took the monitor out with me to the backyard so the two-year-old could play. I heard sound going off and saw arms reaching into the crib to the sleeping baby. I grabbed the two-year-old, a knife, and slowly walked upstairs. Their grandma had come to see if I needed any help, but didn't have my number so she didn't text me she was there.
We laughed about it but never have I ever been so ready to shank someone."
Adults Need Supervision, Too
[ranking: 9]
From okaykitty:
"Well it didn't catch my kids doing anything weird.
I set up while my husband and kids and I went away for a few days to visit family. I had a friend of mine (who was a recovering alcoholic and staying with us to help get straight) watch our house and take care of our dogs. I felt like it was a simple enough task. There was zero alcohol in our house and she had no car and the closest store was 10 miles away. And her mom, being her only contact in town if she needed help, definitely wouldn't get her alcohol.
We are about two days into our trip. I text my friend to see if everything is going well. Hours go by with no reply. I try calling her several times and she won't pick up. Her sister calls me worried that she can't get ahold of my friend either. So I turn on my nanny cam to see what's going on. She laying on my couch with nothing on but a tank top and my front door is wide open! I can talk through the camera and tried talking to her, but she was unresponsive but I can see that she is breathing.
I call my uncle to go over to my house to check on her and find my dogs. I can see on the camera when my uncle gets there. He tries to shake her awake, but she just groans and won't talk. He throws a blanket over her and finds my dogs locked in the laundry room with shit everywhere. And my dog chewed up the hose on my new Dyson, I was pretty peeved. My uncle hangs around awhile until she wakes up and has no clue what happened. He asks her how she got so f*cked up and she told him that she drank a bunch of mouth wash! Don't underestimate addicts.
I'd like to say though that she's been sober a year and employed and getting her life on track now."
Gotta Get That Package
[ranking: 10]
From Kalae:
"My buddy has a camera that sits on his doorstep. It has a motion sensor and every time it detects someone or something on the porch, it snaps a photo and sends it to his phone.
It's a Sunday morning, and for once, his two-year-old isn't shouting into his bedroom to get him out of his crib. Ah, yes. A rare morning to lay in bed. His phone goes off. A photo of a little red-headed boy reaching out of the front door to grab a package appears.
And that's how he discovered that his son could get out of the crib."
A Super Babysitter
[ranking: 11]
From gooblagoobla:
"Not a parent, but once caught the babysitter taking the baby's blanket, putting it around her neck like a small cape, and 'flying' around the room with it on. Keep in mind, the baby could only see out of the crib and was not present for the show.
Needless to say, we found out she was often high during babysitting."
What An Egg-scuse
[ranking: 12]
From darionlar:
"I had a nanny cam for our chicken coop. I actually caught one of our neighbors brandishing a power drill about to break into our coop. I called the cops and her defense was 'I was worried about the eggs'. The cops let her go. Thanks, rural America."
The Kids Are Learning
[ranking: 13]
From Flynn_lives:
"My old roommate has two kids of his own. The older kid (age three) deactivates the baby monitor cam when he and his sister want to do something they'll get in trouble for. Kid even waves bye to the camera before he pulls the plug."
Children Of The Crib
[ranking: 14]
From Inthebox54:
"Baby monitor ?? I woke up to the sound of heavy breathing, to find a face close-up in the camera (two eyes and a nose). My son figured out how to pull himself up on the crib rails. I may have stopped breathing for a few seconds. Very freaky!
Needless to say, we moved the camera to a more elevated location."
The Case Of The Haunted Duck
[ranking: 15]
From clamsteamed:
"I remember a year back, my son would come up to me and tell me about a haunted duck that quacks at him at night time. He reminded me every morning about it and I kind of let it go, because kids say weird things. It wasn't until one night when I was in the lounge and turned on the camera to see what the fuss was about. All of a sudden, a quack noise! A really huge f*cking noise too. It woke up my son who pulled his blanket up and sucked his thumb. I walked in there and couldn't find anything and was pretty wtf about it.
So the next night, my husband comes home and rushes past me and goes straight to the toilet for a half hour. I went to the hallway to clean up the toys and heard the f*cking duck noise again, until I realized it was my husband sh*tting and farting like a duck, startling the entire house.
Had to explain to my husband the whole story of the haunted duck and he now sh*ts at work before coming home."
Too Tired To Sleepwalk
[ranking: 16]
From AbnerDoubleDeal:
"My two-year-old, in his sleep, stood up in his bed and then just face planted onto the floor."
Lord Of The Dance
[ranking: 17]
From SexyFajitas:
"I used to babysit a nine-year-old kid with Autism, along with his almost two-year-old brother. He really liked to watch YouTube videos alone in his room, and his parents were cool with me letting him during the three - four hours they would leave me with the kids, as long as he ate lunch and as long as he didn't watch anything inappropriate. They had a nanny cam in the baby's room.
So one afternoon, I put the little one down for a nap and bring the laptop with the nanny cam feed with me to the living room, so I can get some reading done. I look up maybe 10 minutes into nap time, and I see the nine-year-old performing the most mind-bending and impressive dance choreography I've ever seen, while his little brother watched in complete awe. This kid was like a little Beyonc??.
The best part was his parents confirming that they had watched it too, and they had no idea that he was studying dance videos on YouTube and that he could actually perform such an amazing routine. Five years later, they're on Facebook sharing how he's in his high school's pom squad and how dance has helped with some behavioral delays.
Best nanny cam moment ever."
Birds Of A Feather
[ranking: 18]
From _Iniquity_:
"Our crib was under a window (shut and locked, don't worry). Every few days or so a hawk or some other kind of large bird would land on the outside of the window. The bird and my daughter would sit there for a good 10 minutes bobbing their heads at one another.
It was adorable, despite the fact the bird probably wanted to eat her."
