Slacker Babysitters
Kerryee:
I know exactly what you mean; I had twins toddlers, both parents had to work, hired a sitter. The sitter did well until the sprogs social's got too low, and then went batshit. Both kids started crying, the babysitter, and then the maid too, went to stand right in front of them, and just look at them. They stared until Dad got home from work an hour later, then both took off.
Gastfyr:
I thought maybe it was my twins those mornons couldn't handle, but it seems some of you are having problems with single babies as well. I seriously started panicking (while also utterly irate) when the useless "babysitter" stood OUTSIDE next to a pile of garbage that the babysitter herself had made picking her nose or whatever that idle animation is while my babies screamed to high heaven in Hunger, Hygene, and Social desperation. Had to rush both mom and dad back (you know, because of twins; didn't want either of them starving right to death!) and of course, she's all like, "Well, looks like I'm done here; thanks for the cash" and runs off before I can even scream at her. You know what? If that were real life, not only would I absolutely refuse to pay her but I think I'd freaking call the cops. Or I might ring her useless neck. Not that I believe I'd ever actually hire anyone that evil in real life to take care of my kids, but it's not like the sims have any choice; you just get whoever the service sends your way.
Swiftgold:
I've had a couple babysitters just stand out in front of the house and do nothing while the kid played and their motives went into the red, while some others wouldn't leave the kid alone and kept getting them up to watch TV with them. I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to stand in one place outside the whole time (I observed this in my sister's unmodded game too) but otherwise it does seem to be luck of the draw in regards to traits. The best one I had was Family-Oriented and also a Slob, but I accidentally aged him up after moving him in, so now he lives in town and will probably make good marriage fodder... I kinda miss him as a babysitter, though.

No, it's not just you and it's not just with twins. They are just incompetent. Even more than the TS2 nannies and that is saying something!

I've only ever had babysitters like SwiftGold's had - standing on the porch idly waiting for me to return. Annoying, particularly when I was going for a 5 kids LTW.
