17 Celebrities You Don't Know Babysat Other Celebrities

Celebrities make a lot of money thanks to their fame and talent. Now.
Before they were famous, not many celebrities are that rich. So plenty of them also have jobs like us. Channing Tatum was a stripper. Hugh Jackman was a party clown and a PE teacher. Whoopi Goldberg was a mortuary makeup artist and a sex phone operator.
Among the weird job they have, babysitting is perhaps the more common one. It pays well, and job offers are easy to come by. In fact, babysitters make $612 for one child per week.
But for celebrities, sometimes this goes full circle. Meaning that some of the kids they used to babysit also end up as celebrities. Which blows our mind when we find out. Does their babysitter’s luck rub up on them when they were babysitting as kids?
Anyhow, here are 17 celebrities who could form a celebrity version of The Babysitter Club.
