A BABYSITTER has claimed she accidentally took her neighbour's two-year-old boy on holiday for a WEEK without telling his parents.
The woman dubbed the bizarre incident the "biggest mistake she's ever made" in a clip shared on TikTok.
She described how, aged 20, she frequently babysat her next-door neighbour's toddler to "help his mum out" for a few hours at a time.
On one occasion, the mum asked her: "Could you look after my son and would you mind having him overnight because I'm going away for the evening?"
The babysitter – who goes by the name seenasyouasked on TikTok – said: "Monday comes along and she drops off this sweet little boy – he's really lovely, he stayed overnight.
"Early Tuesday morning, we all packed up the car, I popped him in his car seat, we drove off to London – we lived in Birmingham – stayed in a hotel, I got the hotel to give us a little cot.

"He was so lovely, I got him food and bought some extra nappies as she hadn't sent enough nappies for the week and I just went through the week with this little lad.
"During the day, I took him to the zoo and walked around Hyde Park – we had a blast!
"He loved it, he slept really well, didn't cry at night, and everything was great."
The babysitter didn't have a phone at the time of the trip in 1991, she claims.

And she didn't know the neighbour's number because they only ever spoke face-to-face at each other's door.
"I don't have a phone with me, and I don't have her number, so I bought postcards and I wrote a postcard and posted it to her address just so she knew everything was ok and that the kid was fine," the babysitter said.
On returning home, the babysitter dropped off the boy with his baffled parents – who took the saga well, she claims.
The mum told the babysitter: "So lovely of you – really wonderful.
"I do have to say something though… When I said 'that's fine', I meant I'll come back Tuesday morning and go get him.
"I didn't actually mean for you to take him on holiday the whole week."
The baffled babysitter said: "Thank God I sent the postcards! Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I can't believe I took your kid."
But the mum was pleased, the babysitter claims, and replied: "No, I had a great time, I had a lovely break for the week!"
