Lucille Botzcowski, also known as Miss Botz and the "Babysitter Bandit", is a burglar who poses as a babysitter and robs the homes of the children she babysits. Her only major appearance is in "Some Enchanted Evening", when she was hired as the babysitter for Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. She is voiced by the late Penny Marshall.

History[]

Lucille Botzcowski is an escaped criminal, known as the "Babysitter Bandit". She is hired by Homer from the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers Babysitting Service to babysit the Bart, Lisa and Maggie while he and Marge go out on a date. After her arrival, Bart and Lisa discover her true identity as a burglar when they see her on the TV show America's Most Armed & Dangerous, but they are captured and tied up before they can call the police. She then starts looting the Simpson house. Maggie unties Bart and Lisa, and they are able to thwart and tie up Lucille. Bart and Lisa call the police, but before they arrive Homer and Marge return home to find Lucille hog-tied with her mouth taped shut, staring helplessly at a Happy Little Elves videotape that she forced Bart and Lisa to watch earlier. Deceiving Homer into freeing her, she advises him to not "turn your back on that boy for a second" and drives away after being paid triple the original fee for her trouble, just before the police arrive.

Lucille makes a brief appearance in "Bart Gets an "F"" while the Springfield residents stand in a circle and sing during the snow day festivities. She apparently remained free for some time as she was briefly mentioned in a newscast in "Bart's Dog Gets an F" that the police are looking for her.

A wanted sign featuring her photograph was briefly seen on the notice board in the Springfield Police Station behind Chief Wiggum's desk, but showed her sporting brown hair.[1] She later appeared in Calmwood Mental Hospital, pacing back and forth in a threatening manner. The cell door was unlocked and unguarded;[2]it is unknown if she escaped or not, although she did briefly appear in her car in the non-canon[citation needed] Family Guy crossover "The Simpsons Guy".

She also appeared as the boss of Springfield Mall in The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, where she frequently tried to drop luggage onto Bart, the main protagonist of the game and the player. Depending on whether Marge's name was spelled earlier, she will either deflect any luggage away from Bart, or Bart will have to dodge the luggage. Bart defeated her by throwing the luggage back at her.
