* In the original ''LittleOrphanAnnie'' comic, the original orphanage manager, Miss Asthma, and her partner in crime, Mrs. Bottle, make Miss Hannigan seem saintly in comparison.

# The babysitter uses the parents' home to throw a party or conduct criminal activities.

* ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' presents... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nim8sT2hvg Pinkie Responsibility Pie!]]

* The first season of ''TheSimpsons'' had the Babysitter Bandit, a criminal who tried to rob the place. Bart, Lisa and Maggie manage to defeat him and flee to a pay phone, [[spoiler:but Homer and Marge get home before the police arrive, untied her and let her leave. Homer even carried the bags of loot she'd stolen from them to her car]].

* Vicky from ''TheFairlyOddparents''.

* A robot babysitter (voiced by Sarah Silverman) looks after Meatwad in an episode of ''AquaTeenHungerForce.'' It's soon revealed she is psychotic and abusive.

** Vicky had some redeemable moments, however. A notable example is when Timmy Turner wished to become an adult. When he seemingly disappeared from the house, she became genuinely worried about Timmy and tried to find her (although mostly to save her own butt from his parents should they come home and discover that she apparently was bad enough of a babysitter to not supervise the kid and keep him home), and when Timmy was finally found inside of a police station/jail cell (ItMakesSenseInContext), she expresses genuine relief that he is safe. Ironically, when she did find Timmy a few points during the episode (the aged one), she beat him to a pulp, apparently because she mistook him for... [[DirtyOldMan something that really wouldn't, and shouldn't, be mentioned on the show]].

* Rat proved himself to be the absolute ''worst'' babysitter imaginable in the BabyBlues-PearlsBeforeSwine crossover strip: Here's a rundown of what happened, he agrees to doing everything Wanda and Darryl ask of him, and as soon as they leave, [[DrinkingOnDuty prepares to waste himself with shots of Tequila (and started wearing a beer hat)]]. He then has Zoe and Hammie go out to a package and liquor store to get more bottles of tequila (note: Zoe and Hammie, are incredulously too young to drive, so he's risking their being potentially arrested and doing time at a Juvenile correction facility for driving below the age limit ''and'' possession of alcohol while driving just to get himself drunk yet again, at the very least). Predictably, it goes as badly as possible, with Hammie apparently wrecking their parent's minivan, which also caused a gas station to explode, and apparently they accidentially ran over Jeremy from Zits, and his reaction was horror that their liquor run was delayed. Likewise, he left Wren unsupervised while he went to watch a movie, which nearly got Wren eaten by the crocodiles (only reason they didn't eat her is because [[NotSoHarmless she turned the tables on them and actually bludgeoned them to death]] [[BatterUp with a plastic bat]]). Honestly, at least [[TheFairlyOddparents Vicky]] expressed some concern when Timmy disappeared under her charge.

* A bloodcurdling example occurs on ''{{CSI: Crime Scene Investigation}}'' when the team finds a little boy's corpse in a garbage bag. They discover that the little boy was one of three brothers staying with a prostitute who happened to be their mother's cousin. The prostitute locked all three of them in the basement of the shed in her backyard, and when one of them died she simply got one of her johns to put the body into a garbage bag and hide it in someone else's trash. The hooker claims that her cousin simply dumped the boys on her without leaving any money to pay for feeding them. Brass later discovers that the boys' mother did in fact give her hooker cousin $300...and as Brass put it "that skanky bitch went out and bought a new TV!" The CSIs eventually find the two surviving boys in the basement of the hooker's shed, and they're both close to death. Brass quite bluntly threatens the prostitute with the warning that, if either of them dies, he's going to do everything in his power to make sure she gets the death penalty.
** Let's not forget Nick's backstory-he was molested by his babysitter as a boy.

* In ''LittleOrphanAnnie'', the musical, orphanage manager Miss Hannigan.
