Not that it's a game anyone would ever want to play, but a babysitting simulator seems like an interesting game. Having to juggle whatever you do to pass the time with looking after the kids. I can absolutely see this being a thing. I imagine you take on more and more difficult children, and on higher levels you need to babysit hyper active octuplets with very special needs, diarrhea, diapers, going to the playground, environmental hazards and so on. Exactly. And for extra challenge mode, throw in a boyfriend. (Or girlfriend, either/or.)

Ace Combat 7 is a recent one that came to mind. Having to escort a diplomat's plane, while fending off hostiles and scouring the land for Anti-air guns and SAM sites.

The earliest example I can think of are the escort missions in Shadowrun on the Genesis, most of which are optional. I never found them to be too much of a problem if you're proactive in killing enemies. That said, I didn't like having AI-controlled partners, so I would mostly hire them for a single run and sell off their equipment for profit before kicking them out.
Another good game that has escort missions is Growlanser IV (Wayfarers of Time). Again, they're mostly pretty cool because you have all the tools at your disposal to handle them, so if you fail it's just as much your fault as if you fail any other mission. Proof that babysitting in video games doesn't have to be bad.

How about in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga where one has to escort Princess Peach thru a desert. One has to stay with her while solving puzzles and keeping her on track and taking care of enemies. If she gets too close to an enemy or you let her stray too far from you she'll be captured and you have to rescue her.

That sounds exactly like the escort mission I am doing in Yakuza Zero(the Escort Battle)

When you think about it, the world’s premier babysitting simulator has got to be Yoshi’s Island...

Mario versus Rabbids: Kingdom Battle: Toads are the most annoying and retarded characters in all of video games, and in this game they have no weapons, move slowly and have to go to the exits of the battlefields.
Donkey Kong Country: There are a few stages in the series where a bird follows you and matches your movement and you have to prevent both it and yourself from hitting the enemies, which gets annoying.
Starfox Zero: Protecting the Starwing from those fucking missiles that release small robots. Those robots always hit eventually, and they are small, easy to miss and hard to target.
Resident Evil 4: Fuck that retard Ashley and her complete incompetence at everything and inability to defend herself.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City: You have to free Lance Vance from the junkyard where he belongs, but you have very little time to kill the massive waves of enemies, it is very easy to kill him accidentally and you have to get him to the hospital after you save him. I hate Lance Vance and all the missions with him.

Playing through Blast Corps. and when seeing this thread got thinking that maybe the game is in a way an escort mission. Each stage involving the nuclear carrier vehicle involves destroying stuff to make a path for it so it doesn't explode. It's really annoying at times especially dealing with the Backlash.

My top 3 worst types 3.Grand Theft Auto 3 Protect 8ball using sniper rifle can be tricky on console versions, but is not a problem block entrance with some car 2.TES III Morrowind Because NPC who foloows you rush into battle if someone attack you, for magic users with large blast spells can be painful in fact you cant told that NPC to stay put, if you lose distance with them they gonna run like lunatic trying find you, oh they had tendency to stuck on obstacles what you can simply jump on because NPC not have progamed jumping. 1.Earthworm Jim Ah yes For Pete Sake level, if something harm Peter puppy he truns berkserk and kills you istantsly...have fun
