Bizarre Babysitter Behavior Chronicled on the Web

Received Monday, August 27, 2007
If this is indeed I Saw Your Nanny, then I think I can submit my nanny sighting. I found this on the Internet while doing a search for a nanny camera. It involves a babysitter and a child. I found it troublesome. I wonder if the child's parents know that this is on the internet.

I am sickened by this.
I guess I would prefer a bad description to the real life behavior of some nanny. What is she hopped up on?

Does anyone have any idea what state this is in? You can call their child protective services.

Obviously this nanny is too immature to babysit. She torments the little girl, and when the little girls cries, she asks her what's wrong with her! Pathetic. She is acting as though she is hanging out and teasing her teenage friends. Stupid nanny.

I think putting this video on the internet is in very very bad taste on the young babysitter's part. Getting in the tub with her suit on to give the child a bath does not bother me but letting someone else tape it and put it on the internet is horrible especially since the girl becomes distraught, why put that out there? I feel sad for that little girl.

Anonymous said...

The nanny and whoever is taping this are laughing with delight when the child gets upset. And I think she deliberately poured that water on her face. Anyone with any sense knows a better way to get shampoo out of a child's head. Yes, mistakes happen, but the bulk of the water need not go in the face. That was intentional. Sadistic bitch. Where is this? Listen to her accent! I would guess Long Island!

She shouldn't be in the tub with the little girl. Who knows what sort of rash the nanny is suffering from.

This is so odd....poor little kid. I hope the parents see this.

use the email this button and email this to your coworkers and friends. someone knows this nanny/sitter. or this child.

The babysitter's name appears to be Chuckie. Listen closely.

And I would never hire anyone like that to watch my kid! Ever! And who has a friend over to videotape a child in the bath? We only see a snippet here. What else happened?

Anonymous said...

This video upset me. When my child was that young, I had a wonderful nanny who would sing to her in the tub, play with her. She would never act like this. I wonder how that child's different if she would have had my child's nanny?

I agree that this is a horrible nanny sighting and that someone should be informing the parents of this, but I question the morality of deciding to post this video. Do the parents know that their child is on the internet, taking a bath (so assuming she is nude)? I honestly think that if this sites (and the video sites) facilitators have not received permission to post this from the parents that they stop linking to it and take the video down. Children should NOT be on the internet without their parents permission.

All I can say is I hope the parents find out and take care of the situation.

The babysitter seems very insincere and immature. Poor little girl.

I really didn't see anything all that terrible in this... probably an older sister or cousing. The things my older sister did to me when we were kids was 10 times worse than this. Why don't you all go out and get outraged over actual abuse.

Anonymous said...

While I understand that you don't want your child to be upset for long. We all know kids cry for random reasons, often times to get attention. Other than the girl got too much water in her face, she did nothing wrong. Asking a child why they are crying when they are old enough to speak clearly is acceptable.

To go on to make comments about whatever rash she may have is taking it a bit far. Grow up.

While I understand that we do not want nannies and babysitters to abuse our children, to insist this video be turned into some CPS case is insane. Some of you need to come back to reality.

Anonymous said...

The babysitters name is Chelsea. If you go to the name that posted the video it shows her. However, although her behavior was unacceptable, it seems as though she is just a young, immature babysitter. I don't really see such a huge deal that the parents need to be notified.

Anonymous said...

Oh and BTW- The little girl's name is Kate, and Chelsea has several pictures of the little girl in one of her photo albums.

the babysitter was a teenager!!!! she just lost her cool for alittle bit. and if you didn't notice the child was being rude.

Anonymous said...

oh mygawdwth??? that so horrible!! the littl girl!!!

Anonymous said...

so you are okay with a babysitter having a friend over watching your babysitter bathe your little girl? and videotaping it and putting it on the net? (surely there are other parts not released in this clip). Who are these people. Why were they so amused with the little girls discomfort?

I am shocked how many people find a way to excuse these nannies and sitters. You think when a nanny like the one in PA gets arrested for shaking the shit out of a tiny baby and giving it permanent brain damage- you dont think there were warning signs that the sitter wasnt MATURE enough? There are always warning signs. And bikini nanny with the disgusting voice is about nine warnings!!!

Anonymous said...

The child was not being rude but was behaving precociously while being videotaped by an unknonw camera person. While in the tub, presumably nude.

How but to post this on this site could we alert the parents to the presence???

Anonymous said...

I dont think this babysitter's behaviour was terrible; however, I think the fact that she is taping this and putting it on the internet is grounds not only for dismissal, but for prosecution.

Then again, maybe the parents know. I still maintain that behind many bad nannies are bad parents who just don't give a crap.

Anonymous said...

First of all I never hire babysitters but if I did and I hired a 14 or 15 yr old to watch my baby I would expect that type of behavior - she is only a child herself. The video is innocent enough and THAT is why she posted it. She probobly has more love & concern for that baby than nay one of you. YOU are the ones who need to grow up. There are serious issues that need to be attended to - child abuse, child abduction, child porn (REAL PORN). please!!

Anonymous said...

I would never leave my child with anyone I did not trust. This sitter seems sneaky and shifty.

By the by, I was a nanny for many years and made $1.50 an hour. I was a teenage babysitter. I had a boyfriend who never came over. I never did drugs or drank while on duty and I genuinely had fun with the children and was honored to be trusted by the parents who left their children in my care.

I don't know who this person is.
But ..... NO excuses for her!

As a parent and a babysitter, I think the parents should know about this for the simple reason that the babysitter put a film of the little girl on the internet. It's a no-brainer and isn't it illegal? Can someone put a video of another person's child, especially in a bathtub, on the internet? It sounds insane to me and not just a "no big deal" issue.

good grief you all are way to sensitive. perfectly harmless

I fear for all of the children being raised or supervised by the people who defended this nanny. FOr one thing, she appears to be on drugs. Her behavior is odd across the board. And just what exactly happens when you decide to get in a tub in your bathing suit with a naked child? Obviously you feel the love for your own body, but what of the naked child by your side? You know the one you humiliated, cackled at, teased?
What else was caught on tape?

Babysitter to parent, "bye, have fun. I am having Meth Head Marge over for a bit. She is bringing the cam corder and we are going to videotape your baby girl taking a bath, cool?"

No. not cool.

I hope to God someone knows this child and this shitty sitter.

jane said...

I've never used Photobucket, but shouldn't there be some way of contacting the person who posted the video and let them know how inappropriate it is?

Now,I'm certainly not a drama queen, but I would never put a video of my own children in the bath on the internet. And I would be horrified if someone else did so without my knowledge.

It's a trust issue, whether anything unseen occurred or not.

Anonymous said...

I can't believe there are people defending this nanny! My gosh, my older siblings poked lots of 'innocent' fun at me for years, and it took me years to build up my self esteem. People thought that I was shy, when in fact I was just terrified of everyone. Grow up people, taunting a kid, filming it, and posting it on the web is not normal sibling/nanny behaviour. This teenager is getting a kick out of torturing another human being. Who knows what she does to animals.

Anonymous said...

I believe the babysitter is from "GRETNA, LOUISIANA"...if you look at her photos, she has multiple photos from a highschool there, including one where she is in uniform. Do I want to "get her in trouble"? no--she is just an immature babysitter--i do, however, think the video should be removed if it is not approved by the parents because there are too many crazy people in the world...

Anonymous said...

I have no idea where most of you are coming from with your comments. There is nothing wrong with that sister/sitter. For all of you to comment on her character or lifestyle ae just pulling it our of your ass. She in no way appeared to be on drugs.

I don't know what you all think she meant by this video. The ones of you implying anything pornographic about this are off your rockers. And to say that she is torutring this child? Get real. If she didn't care about thie kid, she wouldn't have asked why she was crying. Half the video was of her asking her why she was crying. If she had tried to hug her while she was crying, you would have just accused her of inappropriate touching or some other ridiculous accusations.

Anonymous said...

11:34pm, would you let this sweet nanny watch your three year old?

Anonymous said...

Who is defending this babysitter? A bunch of inbred women from the backwoods of TN?

She put this video on the internet so we have every right to comment on it and her.

1) She has a friend over at the house.
2) The friend is videotaping the child.
3) The friend is videotaping the child while the child is in the bath tub.
4) The babysitter is teasing the child by making strange faces which show her lack of respect for the child. (To get respect, you must give respect).
5) The babysitter is in the tub wearing a bikini. (??)
6) The babysitter has no clue how to rinse a toddler's hair. When the babysitter gets water in the child's hair, she begans to laugh hysterical.
7) The babysitter's friend can barely contain herself as she is overheard similiarly cackling behind the camera.
8) The babysitter mockingly asks the child, "what's wrong".
9) The child feels that she is being mocked, made fun of and videotaped NUDE. Don't you think she felt a little off? So she cried for her mother. The babysitter brushes her off.
10) The tape ends and we have no idea what happened. When did the tape start? What mentality tells any person to bring a video camera in to a bathroom where a little girl is taking a bath? Just the idea is disgusting. More disgusting is the notion that this babysitter decided to put the video of her mistreating this child on the internet.

Lauren (pissed), you go girl! I too find this video sadistic. Total lack of concern for the poor child's emotional well being.

My dh takes video cam pictures of our twins in the tub. They are precious. He made me a sweet video for my birthday (last week) of the two of them signing my favorite song. Of course, this is for our collection. This is so strange because it isn't even the sitter taping the child. It is her friend??

Would I let her babysit my children? I wouldn't let her change my mil's Depends.

I am not in on the 'inbred' part though. I like TN. I was in Memphis not long ago.

Anonymous said...

Kelly,
Scratch that. Nashville is beautiful and getting more and more popular everyday.

I should have said, "inbred-backwoods" and left it at that. Truthfully, I am just speechless to find that there are people who see nothing wrong with this.

I question people who put their own home videos of their children on the net, but for some sitter or sitters friend to release some emotionally abusive bathtub video?

I'm just lost at what could possess someone.

Anonymous said...

Actually, no, I am a person with common sense that tells me not to jump to extremes. I'm not from TN, or anywhere even considered "back woods" I'm from San Diego.

Go to Photobucket, look under the user name KNL09, then look in the me and Chelsea folder. On page 3, it will have pictures of the little girl, the one in the bikini and the camera person. There are even pictures of after bath time when the little girl is posing with the 2 other girls in the mirror. I don't think she is all that traumatized if she is posing with them and giggling a short time later.

Anonymous said...

well you don't know children then, do you? my child was abused by his babysitter and he never showed any signs. the babysitter was unneccessarily rough with him, pinched him and threatened him with monsters and other things. But she wiseley was sweet before we returned and traveled with a sleeve of oreos in her handbag. don't be so naive.

Anonymous said...

Hi Lauren (still pissed), I didn't get to visit Nashville, but I should have :)

My two cents on this video, I hope the parents find out about this asap and pull the video. Parents have to be consulted before any material portaying their children is put on the Internet.

Good night :)

I suppose there is always that small chance that this little girl's parent, the mother she is crying for would find it just super dee duper that the babysitter treated her this way, filmed her and released her bathtime for the world to see.

Sure.

If Britney is her mom.

Not sure. I'd need to see her teeth.

Certainly, this is the Most make-up I have ever seen on any person either in a tub or in a bikini.

" I want my mommy"
just read childcare gone wrong and you will see why cousins and big brothers and sisters are not good ideas for babysitters. that is if you have the stomache for it.

Anonymous said...

I don't understand how people can think this is perfectly ok. It seems to me that the sitter purposely made the little girl cry just so she could laugh at her and then asked her what was wrong just to mock her. I would NOT want someone with those bullying tendencies to babysit my 3 year old. And that's beside all the issues of filming the girl in the bathtub and whether she had permission to post it, etc.

So what if the little girl was laughing later? 13 year old girls can get seduced by 40 year old sleazoid men, and they might laugh after the sex, but it doesn't mean the guy isn't a sick pervert who should be prosecuted. This could be justt a dumb cousin or someone though, which doesn't make it ok, just changes the perspective a bit.

Anonymous said...

Uh, I agree that I wouldn't want my child posted on the internet but I don't think a fried was videotaping! The camera was probably on a ledge or on the sink.

I don't really think this is such a big deal. You all are a little oversensitive. You all go on about your nannies singing to your children in the bathtub and reading to them and never doing anything bad... Yeah, WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING.

I think it is a big deal. And perhaps because I am employed in the field of child development, I do wonder who this girl is and what her reason was for her behavior.

Haha dirty little monkey.

Seriously just don't put videos of other people's kids on the internet geez, is that so hard to understand? Also this girl is a sorry excuse for a sitter.Most people want to leave their children with mature, nurturing sitters or nannies so to say people are over sensitive is stupid, they just have higher standards for their childcare.

This is not a nanny. She looks about 14, and is probably the sister, or maybe a cousin.

Grow up, the little kid cried because she got wet, big deal! Like your older brothers and sisters never made you cry growing up. You guys most have the most sheltered kids in the world if you think that's going to harm a child.

yes let us all have strangers come in to our toddlers bathrooms and videotape them in the bathtub and post it all over the web.

bunch of sikkos, the lot of you!

Anonymous said...

The babysitter shouldn't be excused because she's a teenager or because this wasn't full blown beating abuse.

I starting babysitting at 12, and I would NEVER do that do a child.

And babysitters are left to care for the child right. Not tease and bug like that. And the child was being rude? What is she, 3? The TEENAGER should be mature enough to ignore a 3 year old being rude.

BROTHERS and SISTERS do teasing. Not people trusted and hired to care for somebodies elses child.

I'm not crying child abuse right now. I'm crying "Moron!"

Anonymous said...

The main issue here to me is that a video of the child naked in a bathtub was broadcasted on the internet.
Anyone who defends this action is ignorant and should not be entrusted with children and is certainly not fit to be a parent.

Anonymous said...

It hasn't been established that this teen was a hired babysitter. How many babysitters bring their swimsuits with them? My guess is, she lives in the house, or is a visiting relative.

Anonymous said...

She's probably a live in babysitter. Maybe an au pair. what is with that accent. help identify it. let us find her.

Daisy said...

This teen is not terribly careful but she's not sadistic either. She's exactly like most young teens I know -- she's extra silly when the camera is pointing at her.

Wow..I'm so glad I don't live in the uptight north. My 9 month old son cries everytime I wipe his face after he eats. He hates it, but I obviously have to do it. When he cries I say "What's wrong baby?" or "Poor punkin" or "You're alright" in the same sing-song, seemingly mocking, voice that she was using. It helps to get him to stop crying. It's the same thing I do if he falls while trying to stand and starts to fuss about it. If he's not hurt he'll stop crying almost immediately. I guess all the yankees in here just don't understand the southern accent or something. I will agree that if the parents don't know the video is on the net, it should be removed. I'm thinking they do though because my feeling is that she's a cousin or something. The point of my comment was really just to say that I watched the video and thought to myself "Where's the problem here?".

Anonymous said...

IMHO, the problem is that YOU don't purposely knock your child to the ground just so he'll cry and you can then ask him what's wrong.

Cali Mom...It's a problem for you that she doesn't purposely knock her child down? Weird.

ummm... okay to me it kinda seemed like it was a sister/cousin and maybe even the mother was taping it... there's not telling what exactly was going on and i mean... parents film their kids in the tub all the time and maybe they thought her reaction was funny and since you just saw the little girl's head they thought it'd be okay to put on the web... personally i think this is being bent waaaaaay out of proportion because nobody here knows the facts.

"I saw your Nanny" reminds me of Nazis' methods during World War 2 : denunciation... you have no evidence that the girl is the baby sitter, you give her school's name, you tell a child shouldn't be nude in a tub (should he be clothed???)... 99% bullshit in your comments. You really are good parents : the fist thing you'll teach your child is obviously how to denounce a person without evidence ! don't you have anything else to do than writing such things like :"you dont think there were warning signs that the sitter wasnt MATURE enough? There are always warning signs. And bikini nanny with the disgusting voice is about nine warnings!!!" should I laugh or throw up? I think I'd better never come and read this website again...

I think you better calm down. How dare you reference Nazis. In America. Do you know what my people went through?

I don't know why are revisiting this post. Dare I say, I don't know a single mother who would be okay with their sitter or nanny putting their child on the Internet? I think the way the child is mistreated is sadistic. And I know a number of nannies, regular, good and great and I cannot fathom that any of them would ever put a video of their charges on the Internet.

To echo an earlier sentiment, WHO BRINGS A VIDEO CAMERA INTO A BATHROOM WHEN YOU ARE WATCHING A CHILD?

that's right ! The mother is surely not okay with that video of her nude child...
