Oh please! This would freak anyone out. You don't have to be a jerk all the time just because you are anonymous.

Maybe you posted this comment to shock everyone? If not, please don't use babysitters when you know nothing about their background, mental condition, possible substance abuse isses, etc.

Op, how terrifying. Side note - your nanny shops at lululemon? I think it's even pricey for me!

This girl's biography totally sounds normal. Not sure how someone would think she was nuts. Former college athlete now working at a yoga store. Sounds reasonable. That's what's scary - you never know.

Not Op here but seriously!? I'm sorry, but if I just found out that someone who watched my child a few weeks ago was just involved in a MAJOR murder case I too would BE FREAKED OUT YOU IDIOT!!! So really PP you would just say "humph, how weird she just babysat for us. Weird." and then you would leave it at that??? OP I too would be completely freaked out. You are not making this about you. If it happened to me I would have posted too just to vent it out of my system!

Exactly...her background sounds EXACTLY like the sort of person who would be a good babysitter, very trustworthy. And it's also highly unlikely that one can find out the mental illness/drug abuse background of a person who they only know superficially. I'm sure plenty of people will say well, that's why I only let family babysit, but tons of people don't have that option. You do the best you can with the information that you have. And the information on her sounds like it wouldn't have raised any red flags. I'd be flipping out too if someone had been alone with my kids and then a few weeks later committed a horrifying murder.

That is just the thing . . . it isn't like most murderers list things in their bio like "torture small animals, have rage issues when driving, and sometimes hear voices." It is usually people that sound relatively normal that snap like this . . .

I totally agree with this poster, especially the bolded part. Where else was OP supposed to go with this? "Hi neighbors! Guess what???" Um, no.

Yes, but the yoga thing is a dead give away is it not?

Can't believe some of you are jumping on OP. So many people on this site are just plain awful.
