'I'm a babysitter - I took a child on week-long holiday without telling parents'

While babysitters may go to extreme lengths to accommodate children in their care, a woman's tale takes matters to a new extreme. A former babysitter has claimed that she once took her neighbour's two-year-old son on a week's holiday without telling his parents.

Taking to popular video-streaming service TikTok, the woman - who boasts more than 10,900 followers on account @seenasyouasked - bravely admitted the 'biggest mistake' she's ever made in her life. Detailing her unbelievable story, her story has surpassed a whopping 2.4 million views since posting.

The former babysitter explained: "I was 20 and newly married. I lived next door to a family with a toddler. He was two. I used to look after him and sometimes babysit for a couple of hours to help his mum out."
