I met my boyfriend when I was his family's babysitter – it's hard to tell people

A FORMER nanny met her boyfriend at work.

Due to the strange introduction, she sometimes lies to people about the origins of their relationship.

A young brunette named Clara (@c_belle08) received a flood of varied reactions when she revealed how she and her boyfriend started dating in a clamp.

First she shared the lies she often tells, next to a photo of her looking a little guilty.

“We met through mutual friends,” is one.

“We met by teaching classes together,” is another – a common way college students come into contact with each other.

The real life truth?

“I was the babysitter for his family.”

When she shared this revelation, she included an adorable photo of the two of them snuggled up together, with big smiles on their faces and emoji hearts floating around them – signifying their true connection.

“Oops,” she captioned the clip.

While meeting a future boyfriend at work isn't completely unusual, it is when you're a babysitter.

But the two appear to be the same age and are in love.

Still, the unorthodox meeting was a bit controversial among commentators.

“THE DREAM,” one wrote, while another agreed: “The best love story ever.”

A third called the move a 'slay', while a fourth said the pair were 'so cute'.

And one hopeful singleton insinuated the video was her 'sign' to become a nanny too.

Others, however, were not sold.

“Yeah, not so sure,” one person wrote.

“No,” said another bone, while a third echoed, “Goodbye.”

To many people, it seems like a great gig – as one 'hot nanny' said she gets paid $3,000 to live rent-free with her best friend.
