Teen Babysitter Surprises A 3-Year-Old By Dressing Up As A Mermaid And Her Reaction Is Just Too Cute

If there were such a thing as the best babysitter award, the world would probably agree it belongs to Keegan Carnahan from Florida.

The 15-year-old was babysitting a 3-year-old named Alidy, who happens to be a big fan of The Little Mermaid. When Keegan saw her dressed up as a mermaid, she decided to do something special. “[Alidy] had decided to wear her little mermaid outfit around the house that day and I thought it would be a fun surprise to bring out mine for her bathtime,” Keegan told BuzzFeed. Once Alidy saw Keegan in her mermaid outfit she got so happy, it made her day! The little girl is now convinced her babysitter is a mermaid…

Keegan posted a picture of her being a mermaid babysitter on Twitter and the Internet can’t get over the sweetness.

This is cute, but "best babysitter ever OMG!!!!!111" is probably a bit over the top. Besides: if I would call a babysitter, and the babysitter would put photos of my toddler on the Internet, I would be seriously angry.

People are compelled to include superlatives in all of their titles these days, in order to ensure more clicks, likes, and sharing: Best Boyfriend Ever, Cutest Dog of All Time, Most Hilarious Tweets in History, Luckiest Kid in The World, etc etc

Wow, take it easy. It's a nice/fun thing to do, but not out of the ordinary. She cos played with a kid. It's fun, it makes the kid happy, its a great change of pace, but it is also child care 101.

And what makes it front page-worthy? OK it's cool and nice but what's the big deal?

Somehow I am left with the Big Question that has not been answered. Where did Keegan come up with a mermaid costume to begin with? Is this something that is a "girl" thing?
