A “monster” babysitter from Southern California has been found guilty of molesting 16 boys, including some as young as 2 — and filming many of the vile attacks.
Matthew Zakrzewski, 34, who bills himself as “the original Sitter Buddy” and “manny,” was convicted by a jury of 34 felony counts, including lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and oral sex on a child under 10 , the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said.
“These young boys were forced to endure unimaginable violence as a result of the ultimate betrayal by a babysitter,” said District Attorney Todd Spitzer.

“These parents thought they were hiring a trusted babysitter for their children while they went on family vacations, date nights, and for other childcare needs,” she said.
“Instead they unknowingly let a monster enter their home and prey on their innocent children in the most despicable way.”
Zakrzewski has worked as a childminder for many families throughout the region.
The crimes against his client’s children aged between 2 and 12 were committed between January 2014 and May 2019, the prosecutor said.

The popular nanny first appeared on law enforcement’s radar in the spring of 2019, when a Laguna Beach couple went to police to accuse Zakrzewski of inappropriately touching their 8-year-old son.
The Laguna Beach Police Department launched an investigation into the nanny, which led to a second victim, a 7-year-old boy in Los Angeles.
From there, police found 10 more victims throughout Southern California.
Prosecutors said Zakrzewski filmed numerous sexual assaults, and also showed pornography to a 17-year-old boy.
Zakrzewski uses several websites to advertise her services, including websites for babysitting, tutoring, sibling relationships and overnight and holiday babysitting.
“In eighth grade, I discovered the joy of working with children and being a positive impact in their lives through my school’s “Buddy Program,”” Zakrzewski wrote on his Sitter Buddy website. “Now, I am a full-service TrustLine Certified provider of regular and on-demand child care, as well as tutoring services for children.”
Zakrzewski was arrested on May 17, 2019, at LAX airport after disembarking from an international flight.

She was initially charged with five felony charges, but after police expanded their investigation and identified more victims, additional charges were brought against the nanny.
In addition to sexually assaulting the boy and recording the abuse, the babysitter showed pornography to a 17-year-old with the intent to molest him, officials said.
Zakrzewski theoretically faces up to 690 years to life plus eight years when he is sentenced on Nov. 17.
