A homeowner in California went viral after she discovered two separate silhouettes of Donald Trump in a common space of the house she was guarding.
On June 11, Ashley Marquez posted a TikTok showing off the unexpected items she found while house-sitting. “Why [expletive] Do you have this at home? ” she asked.
“The behavior was strange,” she added.
Commentators generally agree that Donald Trump’s cutout is a strange sign. “Hey, this way I won’t have to babysit at home anymore,” one commenter added.
“I will never feel comfortable sitting in my house again,” another added. “The house can sit on its own.”
“I would leave immediately,” commented a third.
How long does it take for a nanny to be unsafe?
Max’s unusual discovery raised concerns about the safety of boarders. While her situation appears to be safe, it does highlight how many homeowners may not be aware of the situation of the homeowner in question.
Home care is generally considered a secure arrangement, especially when it is organized through an established platform that relies on vetting, identity verification, and extensive communication between homeowners and caregivers.
An ABC analysis of nearly 15,000 residential care arrangements found only 55 were rated three stars or below. This shows that the vast majority of experiences are positive. The disputes have been described as rare, but experts note that some negative experiences may go unreported because users fear retaliation or simply leave the platform altogether.
What are some other examples of strange house-sitting experiences?
Many boarders report encountering unusual situations that, while not real dangers, cause discomfort or confusion. Online communities dedicated to home care are filled with stories of strange instructions, surprise overnight guests and awkward misunderstandings.
One user in the Reddit subthread did share a story of a strange house-sitting experience that took an unfortunate turn. “Husband came home drunk at noon after drinking and partying all week while away,” one Reddit user shared. “He then began actively pressuring his wife and me to drink with him, and he… made numerous sexual and crude comments. … I decided that for my safety it was best to leave.”
AllHipHop reached out to Marquez for comment via TikTok DMs and comments. We will update this story if she responds.
