Babysitter’s Black Book Movie Synopsis
Babysitter’s Black Book follows the life of Ashley, a pretty 17-year-old high school senior whose dreams of going to college are dashed when her parents reveal their financial inability to pay. Believing that she must enter her first year of college at any cost, she comes up with a plan to provide a babysitting business for busy working moms.
After gathering a few of her hot classmates together, they put their plan in motion to create “Family Buddies,” a service that not only offers babysitting, but tutoring as well. Everything seems to be working out in the beginning, but before long, the girls realize that the dads want sex on the side. Eventually, Ashley and her friends are doing way more than bouncing babies.
But not to worry, their sex escort babysitting business has its advantages. Plus, they are enjoying all of the lucrative and lavish gifts that their daddy clients are providing.
Soon their world starts crashing down after the secret is exposed to the school principal and the town newspaper after several students become aware of how the girls are really making their money.

True Cases
If the movie sounds familiar, it is because it has been done before. Babysitter’s Black Book is very similar to the 2007 movie The Babysitters, which is also about a 17-year-old girl who runs a babysitting business that services the fathers with sex. As for the true story, it would be rather difficult to pinpoint the various true events. But here are two cases that you can review in your spare time.

According to Daily Mail, 17-year-old Alex De Armas was a Venice, Florida, teen who was busted for running a prostitution ring by using social media sites, such as Facebook. And who doesn’t know about the case of Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood Madam. Believe it or not, Heidi Fleiss ran a babysitting business, which then turned to a prostitution business.
Lifetime’s Official Tease, according to RedBox.
“When her parents’ financial problems threaten Ashley’s dreams for college, the high school whiz kid takes matters into her own hands. She and her girlfriends turn their babysitting business into a wildly successful escort service for dads. But in this small suburban community, nothing stays secret for long. Inspired by true stories.”
