So I'm leaving you with a repeat from way back when...an oldie but goodie.
With summer approaching quickly when the rugrats will be sprung free from their educational responsiblities, this post may actually come in handy for some of you.
Things you don't want to hear from a potential babysitter...
Can you let me know when it's 5:00? That's the time I need to take my Haldol.
I won't be able to work on Wednesdays from 3:00-5:00 because that's the visitation hours at the prison where my boyfriend is. If I can't have the time off, I could always bring the kids with me.
How often do you expect me to take the kids to the park...I have a fear of grass.
I hope you don't mind if I bring my imaginary friend with me.
It's cool if you need me to cook meals for the kids....I'm fascinated with fire.
I'm an expert at changing diapers....I wear them myself sometimes.
Would you mind if my boyfriend came over and helped me with the kids? He used to be a sexual predator but he's over that now.
Do I know CPR? I think so...wasn't he one of the robots in Star Wars?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear you....the devil was talking to me.
I'm not sure if I can work overtime....let me call my parole officer and ask.
I hope it's not an issue that I don't drive....my license was suspended after my 2nd DUI.
Is it okay if I watch "The Girls Next Door" while babysitting because that's totally my favorite show and I simply CANNOT miss an episode?
Do you mind if I use your computer while I'm babysitting.....I like to check how many hits my "adult site" gets every couple hours.
Would you mind paying me in cash every Friday....that way I can just go directly to my dealer's house when I'm done babyitting.
If there's an emergency, I'd just call 911....it's a really great way to meet hot guys.
I usually ask for $10.00 per hour but for an extra $20.00 I could "take care" of your husband too, if you want.
Feel free to check my references....oh, but please don't call my last employer....we ended on bad terms. She was so paranoid about me drinking beer while I watched her kids.
Well, I don't really have a LOT of experience with children but people who know me say I have the maturity of a 9-yr old so that should count for something, right?
As far as discipline, I think all kids need a good ass-whipping every once in awhile. That's what my dad always did with me and look how wonderful I turned out.

I think I remember this one! There's something about a beer guzzling, pill popping, devil worshipping, batshit crazy personality that's ringing a bell here.
I don't even know what "Haldol" is.
Wow. Please tell me that all of these are made up. Seriously, the kids are better off without a sitter than some of these!
:-O
can't wait to read all about hawaii!
Too funny! I saw your FB post so I now know about Hawaii! Can't wait to read about it.
I can't think of a single one you left out.
I'm past the baby-sitter stage, now, but that list does bring back memories.
Wow, that post makes me want to live by my in-laws forever (and that is saying a lot!).
Excited to hear about "Hawaii!"
Hey. I watch "Girls Next Door!" Well I did, now I watch Kendra. What's Haldol? I might need some.
yep, that about covers. it!
LOL I do not think that I would want to hear even one of these! You have my interest peaked about your Hawaii at home adventure! :)
Lol! And that is why I have a very hard time trusting anyone but family to babysit my kids. ;D
I had to get rid of a sitter once, because I found empty beer bottles in my trash and I'm not a beer drinker.
Such a comprehensive list.
How about if they don't believe in wearing a shirt?
These are great..! ...I loved the one about taking care of husband the best....BwHahahaha...this is a great checklist for those who are new to hiring a sitter...!
Great list I will have to print this out and use it.. I can't wait to see what you are up to.. Have a great day.
Bringing Hawaii home? Love the idea! Those are so funny! Lol, that's why I stayed home or got temporary jobs when my hubby home after my son was born.
Maybe ya'll are just too picky! Heeehehehe! These are totally rib ticklin'!
I can't wait to see what Hawaiian adventure ya have cooked up but I bet it's gonna be fun.
God bless and have a great week!
Sounds about right!
Those made me laugh :)
& I can't wait to hear how you brought Hawaii home!
This is one of my favorite blogs...maybe because I have had some babysitters that would fit a few of these...let alone a nanny that lasted a short time because she fit too many of these :)
I can hardly wait to hear about Hawaii!!
I remember this one. Its still awesome.
We've had some wonderful babysitters. babysitters from our youth who were soooo fun and when my oldest son went to college, he got involved in Young Life. When I needed a babysitter, I'd ask him and he would recommend some of the girls. My boys loved them. They played games, made snacks and.....clean up the house. I LOVED them!
See, there's something to be said for living next to both sets of grandparents!
Seriously? Some days, the $20 would be worth it! Awesome!!!
I dunno, I might pay someone $20 to "take care of" my Hubs! LOL!
Are any of these for real?!!?
HAHAHA... so glad I can honestly say I've never said any of the above to my families...
Although I did ask one of them how old was old enough to answer the kids whining with "And people in hell want ice water..."
Fortunately, they laughed ;)
Saw the pics on FB of the new and improved backyard... lookin' good! Can you plant a plumeria and name it Marianne? I tried to grow two here, one has already died :( Stupid winter.
I have an award for you @: http://bloggertowne.blogspot.com/2010/03/our-first-blog-award_22.html
Those are so funny! Anytime someone says "don't check with my last employer.." you know you've got trouble!
I'm LOL about the extra $20 to "take care of" the husband! LMAO!
Have fun in Hawaii ;)
Hilarious list! I need to find a sitter badly, but I hope I don't run into anything like this.
Hilarious! Those would be quite frightening to hear come out of your sitter's mouth!
lol, too funny
I'm about to start babysitting (once I get someone to babysit) so thanks for the pointers. ;)
This is why we don't have a babysitter.
Seriously. We have had 1 date in 3 years. We did have a girl who I loved. Then we got Jack our puppy and then I was afraid he was going to bite her.... it just goes on and on.
My dad volunteers but then my mom vetos it cause most of my scrapes came from when my dad was watching me as a child!!!
Ohhhh Hawaii. Can't wait to hear!
LOL, Helene!! You should be a stand up comedian!
Haha, I like it.
Have a wonderful week.
Have a good week. I can't wait to find out how you're bringing Hawaii to you. Let us know the details so we can do the same thing! LOL
Damn. Guess you won't be hiring me now.
We have a lovely babysitter, that we only get to use on occasion, 'cause that is how *rarely* we get to go out without the kids. She is a grandmother and does craft whilst the kids sleep, and you will never guess what her name is! Helene.
It must be that only nice people are named Helene :-)

I babysat a lot, and the first thing I told parents was: "I don't like cooking, so stock up on bread and ham."
Too funny!!! This totally cracked me up, and scared me at the same time ;)
I thought 2 kids in 1 year was tough...you must be go go gadget mom!
LOVIN IT! Found you on TMC! Happy to be a follower!
