Babysitter was in our bedroom

Long story short, we’d never met our sitter before. We’re staying in a two-bedroom suite with a living room.

We told the sitter tonight we’d be home at 11. We got back at about 11:02 and the sitter was in the doorway to our room - either entering it or coming out. Nothing is missing and nothing seems out of place but it felt odd. My best guess for an innocent explanation is he’d forgotten his phone charger and had found the charger in our room and used it, and was getting his phone because we were walking in the door. But who knows.

Would you stay silent? Find the sitter and ask what happened? Tell the coordinator that you don’t want that sitter for any other evenings? Or talk to the camp director? What would you say to the sitter if you started there?

I wouldn’t hire a guy to babysit. Sorry.

Surprised you are using a male babysitter really. But I guess good for you for not being sexist/biased.

Is this Tylers place lol?

I remember snooping around houses when I used to babysit. Never opening drawers on anything like that but just checking out the house.
