The babysitter speaks with the two parents who have hired her and, in their living room, holds their baby. The father tells her about how there has been a man wandering on the premises lately and that she should keep vigilant watch to ensure he doesn’t break in.

Later that night, the parents leave, and the baby is fast asleep upstairs in the house. The babysitter tries to pass the time by watching television, but she is unnerved. She turns off all the lights in the house so that someone outside can’t see inside. She turns on the baby monitor so that she can keep watch over the baby from another room.

Eventually, the automatic light outside turns on. Someone or something has arrived on the premises. Frantically, the babysitter wanders around in the dark and tries to open the blinds of windows, but she struggles. Soon enough, she hears a man’s voice on the baby monitor. Quickly, she rushes upstairs to the baby’s room with a brass thing and sees a man seated inside, watching it.

Before the babysitter can react, the man hovers over the baby’s cradle and lowers his face into it. When he does, the babysitter hears a horrifying sound. The baby gnaws on the man’s face until he dies and falls back with a bloody head. Right away, the babysitter is concerned with how to clean all of the mess up before the parents come home. She takes the baby into an empty room and then ponders what to do with the man’s corpse, which is much too heavy to efficiently move.

The babysitter decides that rather than cleaning up the baby’s room, she will hang up posters in it, hoping that the beauty will offset the ugly. After she is done, she hovers over the baby’s crib with scissors still in her hands. She holds the scissors over the baby. She says goodbye. However, she only drops the scissors into the crib, and nothing happens. She does not grab them back. She simply grabs her phone and calls the parents. The parents, hearing her distress, tell her that the baby simply has an appetite for face. They tell her that they’re on their way back and that she should just stay where she is.
