There are so many horror stories about irresponsible and sometime cruel baby sitters able to do to the babies. I’ am going to share some with you:
- I heard this from my aunt. This is from a wealthy family and as usual, pretty mum loves to hang out and shop with friends and hire a baby sitter to look after her under baby. She like this sitter very much because according to her, her baby was good, less fussy and slept a lot in sitter care, until one day, when she went abroad for shopping, the baby sitter and baby was left and stayed in her in-law’s house and because they are very rich, almost all part of the in law house were monitored with video, and the sitter didn’t know. So the in law found out that the sitter drug their grandson daily with sleeping pills, stolen from medicines cabinet so the baby was always sleepy and easy to care. So, the in-law fired the sitter and drags her to police station.
- My cousin has already suspect that this new sitter probably harsh to her son, because he was scare of her but she didn’t have any proof. So, one day he was up stair with her sitter and suddenly she heard him cried. Not for long but a few second and it stop abruptly. She was curious and she went upstairs quietly, to her shock, she found out that the sitter was pressing pillow on my nephew face to silent him. My cousin scream, the other maid and driver rushed to up stair and they bring this sitter to police station and charge her for attempting murderer. But she was released and her ‘yayasan’ didn’t want to take any responsible for her, no one knows where she is now.
- This is from my gym mate. She said her previous baby sitter was found out hitting her son stomach and bangs his head on the wall. One day, when she return from office she heard her son cried, when the sitter was asked why he cried, she just simply answered, stomach ache, my friend didn’t buy it because he was kneeling, crying and hugging his stomach, so she asked her son gently what happened but he kept staring to the sitter, so she open pull open his shirt and found red mark on his belly. Then the boy admit that sometimes she also bang his head on the wall. That is the reason she quit her banking job and looks after her boys by herself.
- My other cousin’s baby sitter punched her toddler face when he cried and grab and pinched his neck when he peed on his pants, her in law found them out when staying in her house for few weeks. she was so angry and the sitter was fired immediately along with her house maid (the maid knew but didn’t report them although she has work with the family for years).
- This is real, one working mum who suddenly went home in the afternoon because she had forgotten to bring some document to the office was shocked to found out her baby was sucking the sitter’s toe.
- I’ve heard about a baby sitter who mixed detergent in the baby milk

How scary and I'm fuming with anger. HOw can these sitter be so irresponsible and inhuman. Imagine if they can do that in their homecountry, when these bunch of bad apples were to work abroad, it would be worst. That's y I never trust my maid to handle my kids.
Theres plenty of scary stories out there but also some great ones. I snuck up on my sitter and found her sitting on the floor playing and singing with my two kids. They were laughing and clapping their hands. There are lots of great sitters out there and lots of good and caring child care workers as well.
To Suzie, of course there are also good and well training ones :)One of my cousin's (yes..I have so many cousins)sitter is very loving and caring my niece and nephew. The stories just to inform all mummies to be aware and inspect the new sitter closely before something bad happen. I read from newspaper 2 days ago, there was a sitter sit on around 6-7 months old baby because she can't calm her down when she cried at night, the poor baby liver and pancreas was burst out and died. It was happened in Malaysia.
mine is the same. Pinch Ashley, clip cloth pegs on her finger so that she cry for me and maid can scoot off to chat to next door maid she spotted coming out.
A previous one tried to smuggle AShley out of mother and baby exhibition, then later ran away. she also struck a deal to sell Ashley to another indon contractor.
Kimberly last time, maid starve her so that she cry and sleep till 6 pm when i come home. Want to talk about my 8 years experience with more than 15 maids, most of whom i send back, tak habis cerita.
My mistake is most of those horrible ones, I got from the supplier who supply part time maids to agenst and those are mostly reject maids. But we didnt know it then.
Some ignoramus ask why i didnt sue the maids. Now would you sue a maid who try to sell your kid who ran away? The one who starve Kimberly, she cry and beg, and we were still young parents then, we just let it go happy that we found out in time about our kid, only eager to get that maid out of our house. Now if these happen, I would be fuming already because these kind of things happened once too many times
That's why i quit salaried employment. In my own practice, I can work from home half day and work from office half day when kids are in school.
Check around your community, very rarely you hear about a reasonably reliable maids. Anyhow, better to take care ourselves and put our kids in danger.
