Babysitter's bane (4)

I believe the answer is:

brat

'babysitter's bane' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for brat that I've seen before include "Irritating youngster" , "Unpleasant youngster" , "Spoilt child" , "A spoiled badly-behaved child" , "Mervyn -- (Titus Groan)" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Wall Street Journal.
