I once left my DD's then 3 an 5 with a sitter who was my age an had raised her younger siblings since she was 13 an her mom died. I left her the same rules of the house as I did all my sitters. In the rules it clearly stated that anything that was locked up they did not need while I was gone. This sitter herself unlocked their bedroom closet where all their coats an good clothes was out an allowed my DD's to pull out several very nice dresses that was expensive an then unlocked another closet for them to get sissors an allowed my DD's to cut the dresses to shreds because they told her I allowed them to cut up any clothes they wanted to....... Guess who not only was never asked to baby sit again but was no longer a friend of mine. I'd even went over the house rules before I left.
Then there was the time a potty trained red head of mine decided it was to much trouble to go in house to pee an was peeing pants outside while playing. I made her wear wet pants outside playing we stayed outside playing an she got sore. Then went got a chair to climb on unlocked bathroom closet an got a tube of what she thought was diaper rash cream only she had BENGAY I knew the more I tried to rub off the bengay the worse it was going to be. She ended up in a tub of cold water for the rest of the day much longer than she wanted to be there because everytime she got out she started burning again. That was also the day she learned to go in house to potty as needed I'm a bad mommy I laughed when she used the bengay an still laugh about it everytime I think about it now.
YES I myself could write a book about my redhead which was my problem child
