Would you feel comfortable having a male babysitter for your children, that is not a family member? (Page 2)

Question

I was watching TV and an add for one of the those find-a-babysitter websites popped up.  Something peculiar that I noticed, was how all of the little kids talked about their past babysitter, or a hypothetical future babysitter, as "she". Never once was "he" used once in the entire commercial! ---- Whether you do have youth kids now, or want to have kids in the future... would you be ok letting a male babysitter,  who is NOT a family member or a friend,  babysit your kids if he had a clean background check? ---- Vote and reply as much as you wish!

LohrvsData · Answer

I'd never let ANYONE I didn't know personally babysit my kid. Hell, I barely trust the people I do know that are outside my family around my daughter.

Slimey2 · Answer

I would rather a girl babysitter, as they are more gentle, but I wouldn’t mind a boy, as long as I approve of him

Anonymous · Answer

None of the above. I would find it very hard to turn my child over to anyone I didn't know well.

I was raised in such a way as my parents and family were completely interwoven with the friends and teachers who were allowed to look after me.

Yes, I would feel comfortable but, with any baby-sitter I'd have cameras probably connected to my phone.

Cosytoasty · Answer

I wouldn’t have anyone non-family looking after my kid male or female. But come to think about it, I’d trust a dude more than a woman.

rykr_ramirez · Answer

If the person knows what they are doing as a babysitter then yeah, I don't care what gender or age. Trust is built, as long as you are willing to help build it.

more2life · Answer

I would not trust anyone to babysit my kids except for their grandparents. PERIOD.

omgjassy · Answer

I don’t want a female or male babysitter. I’m not getting a babysitter at all. You never know who you hire

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, I would be perfectly comfortable with a male babysitter that I didn't know personally, as long as he passed a background check.

RainbowDash_ · Answer

If I had an kid when I’m older, I prefer it to be someone I knew personally or someone that has an completely clean profile and that’s good as with kids.

lilmissumshine · Answer

I wouldn't let anyone "privately watch " my child. id prefer to send them to a day care facility where there's cameras , supervisors, and other supportive staff members

owens97 · Answer

TallGuy96 · Answer

Well, if he looked peaceful and he told me his background and some of his past then... No i can't leave my (imaginary) kids to a male, females are better with kids i don't know why but they are

Goochbreaker · Answer

I'd get someone I know to babysit them, regardless of gender

We had a male babysitter when I was a kid. It wasn't a big deal.

TiffanySpooky · Answer

Lol. Um. If i had a kid i wouldn't want anyone i didn't know watching them

JCT666 · Answer

I would not have a non-related babysitter regardless of their gender. Only another family member will be babysitting my kid (s) if I require it.

ryancg · Answer

It wouldn't really bother me. If I'm gonna hire a babysitter I'm gonna do some pretty in-depth investigating anyway be it a female or a male.

unboblievable · Answer

NO WAYYYY I would definitely not. And I also don't support women in the military cuz that's a man's job :(

I’m not sure I mean I’d be more comfortable with it if I knew the guy

lotje · Answer

I would not mind to have a man babysit the kids if I had them.

NanoAngel · Answer

Women can still violate the kids, so lets just say that babysiters are dungerous in general

honest_artist · Answer

No. I just don't trust babysitters in general no matter what gender.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

No. I wouldn't even trust a family member with a daughter of mine.

Whyte_Myke · Answer

I've been a male babysitter before did all through highschool but I wouldn't want a stranger to watch my kids

tatianaisfree · Answer

I would never give my babies to strangers, males or females, I would give them to a member of the family in every situation

robsherbert · Answer

Why not? Strictly because it's a male. In the same vein would you feel comfortable hiring male day Care staff?

Amitrajput11 · Answer

I think the best baby seater for the baby is his parents.

cailin306 · Answer

i would want to get to know him first (but i would want to get to know a female first too so it doesn’t really matter does it)

I dont feel comfortable with any babysitter regardless of sex. When I was young the babysitter molested me.

Anonymous · Answer

The image posted in this question is very cute, but I wouldn't feel comfortable about anyone around my child.

A well known female or well known grandparents maybe. Someone I didn't personally know no damn way. So glad I don't have kids!

BeHappy1985 · Answer
