** Bob is a Bart Simpson-style BabysittersNightmare and Alice and him spend the entire night in a Tom-and-Jerry style RoadrunnerVsCoyote EscalatingWar.
** Alice too the "sitter" part of "babysitter" [[LiteralMinded a bit too literal]] and spends the whole night sitting down on Bob.
* '''Played for Drama''':
** Alice's mistreatment of children lead to her being arrested and/or sued by angry parents.
** Bob is a BabysittersNightmare because sitters obviously tried to treat him like a child. Encountering an abusive adult is thus divisive amongst the babysitting community, those who think it is LaserGuidedKarma and those who make clear this is no longer TheFifties and they cannot turn a blind eye on child abuse no matter how much the child is a "devil".
** Alice is a thief or kidnapper who gleefully exploits being allowed entrance into people's homes to turn the kids into hostages.

* '''Deconstructed''': Alice's dismissive and angry behaviour towards Bob is because she's been under a lot of stress lately, and only took the job because she feels obligated to financially help her StrugglingSingleMother; she'd rather be anywhere else right now, and Bob isn't exactly acting like a saint either.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob's refusal to follow Alice's commands results in Alice having a breakdown. Bob feels bad for making her cry and starts acting nicer towards her, which results in the two eventually bonding over their hobbies. She ends up becoming Bob's regular babysitter, giving her a steady source of income in the progress.
