Synopsis
The episode begins with SpongeBob and Patrick starting their business for babysitting, with a woman calling them down to babysit her kids. They successfully take care of her kids and start going around town, trying to find more people who need babysitting help.
An old woman asks SpongeBob and Patrick to help babysit her baby, and when they accept, she runs off happily. When they go inside, they realize the supposed baby is extremely ugly, who can talk but still treat her like a regular baby and name her Baby Prunes.
The two feed, play, and put Baby Prunes to bed, and afterwards, SpongeBob goes into the bathroom. In there, he finally realizes that Baby Prunes is actually an extremely old woman, after spotting her last 137th birthday card. Unfortunately, a sleepy Patrick accidentally lets her run free due to him thinking she's a dog, before SpongeBob can tell him she's not a baby. The two get worried and try looking for her, only to end up in a sewing circle, where the old women in there spit on their cloth and rub it on them.
Meanwhile, Mary's Mother is doing extreme sports and activities, until eventually SpongeBob and Patrick reach her again. They are happy to see her again, but Mary's Mother is mad at them for treating her like a baby and beats them up. This makes Mary's Mother tired and fall asleep, and the episode ends with SpongeBob and Patrick walking into the distance with Mary's Mother in her wheelchair.

- This is the third time in a row that an episode was released by Amazon until it got taken by Nickelodeon. The first is "Surf N' Turf" and the second is "Jolly Lodgers."
- The title is a pun on "babysitting," referencing the babysitting theme of the episode and the elderly woman's irritability.
- This episode was paired up with "Who R Zoo?" during the original American airing, but has since been re-airing with "Jolly Lodgers."
- Coincidentally, both of these episodes are about SpongeBob and Patrick making their own business.
- In the promos claiming that this episode is going to air first, however the unveiled episode that was pairing aired first while this aired second.
- This episode marks the second major appearance of Mary's mother since "Chocolate with Nuts."
- Coincidentally, both episodes were written by Kaz.

- Not counting Baby Squidward from "SpongeBob in RandomLand," this is the third episode in which Squidward is seen as a baby. The first was "Goo Goo Gas" and the second was "Squid Baby."
- Although, unlike those two, he is only dressed like one in this episode rather than becoming one.
- This episode was originally going to premiere in Australia and New Zealand on February 15, 2020, but got delayed to February 22 to coincide with the Best Buddies Ever event.[citation needed]
Errors
First there were eight babies
Now there is only six
Her house is on the other side of Conch Street.
- SpongeBob and Patrick were assigned to babysit eight babies. In the montage of them babysitting, there are six.
- When the mother called SpongeBob and Patrick to babysit her house was in front of Conch Street yet in other episodes there is no house in front of the street.
