    Oxford Dictionaries Online gives the past participle as «babysat». I’ve never heard «babysitted», either: I don’t think it’s correct, even if some people do use it colloquially.

    There’s a hitch to the «in context» feature: the search doesn’t seem to be able to distinguish between edited text written by professional journalists and semi-literate comments added by any Tom Dick or Harry with a computer.

    I did check up on some of the examples of «babysitted» I found with the «in context» link, but most of them were posted in comments by ordinary readers of the news items, not by professionals. I wouldn’t put much faith in their being good examples, or even typical examples, of English usage.

    Why do you need past tense in this context? I would say I don’t need baby sitting any longer.

    Even in the past I would say I used to babysit for them,
    OR she has done babysitting for my kids.
    OR she was the baby sitter.

    They are all examples taken from the press and can be seen as representative of colloquial English. Colloquial English isn’t necessarily good English, and the OP asked about colloquial.

    The answer is «yes, it’s colloquial».

    I’m not sure that «babysitted» is colloquial. I understand «colloquial English expressions» to mean expressions that are acceptable or correct in spoken English, but not in written English. What is correct is always debatable, but «babysitted» to me sounds at least «non-standard» if not «incorrect».
