An innocent business idea of providing nanny services for single and lonely fathers turns into something sinister in Lifetime’s ‘The Babysitter’s Double Life,’ a thriller drama movie directed by Lisa France. The narrative follows a determined senior college student named Lia Collins who finds herself in deep financial trouble when the prestigious college suddenly revokes her scholarship. While working as a part-time nanny for a well-to-do, recently separated father named Ethan, Lia begins an affair with him.
Soon, Ethan plants in her mind the idea of starting a high-end babysitting and companionship service for wealthy, divorced parents. Her start-up matches young women in need of extra money with parents who need assistance with their children and emotional support. However, as the business starts booming, it turns into a full prostitution ring as lonely fathers take advantage of the services. The tale of deception and crime unfolds mostly in Ethan’s lavish home, the college where Lia studies, and other residences that use the nanny services, adding visual depth to the narrative.
