Mom Records Babysitter, Realizes Why 6 Others Quit

She couldn’t understand, she had gone through six babysitters in six months with each of them never lasting very long. What was going on?

She knew if she wanted to figure out the problem, she’d have to be rather shrewd and sneaky. Anything for her children, after all.

Needing Help

Bridget Elks was a single mom struggling to juggle both her professional career and being a mother.

She was long since divorced and worked full time to make sure her children had a bright future. But now she knew she needed some help.

The Solution

She found someone who she thought would be perfect. She would be able to look after Marie – 6 years old and Kirk – 1 year old.

Lisa was hired and she thought that her problems were over. She felt that for the first time in a while she could finally rest. But problems arose.

Everything Was Going Well

Bridget quickly considered Lisa a part of her family as she looked after her children so well. But soon things would change drastically.

Lisa was a huge help and finally, Bridget could focus on her work. Lisa would take her kids to preschool and playdates. It felt like a blessing.

Resignation

But after just three weeks Lisa would send a text message telling Bridget to get her final paycheck ready, she was quitting. What could have changed her mind?

When Bridget got home Lisa left with her paycheck without so much as a goodbye. Bridget was stunned.
