I guess a lot would depend on the going rate in your area but this ad wouldn't even begin to tempt me. If I've done my math correctly, she wants you to work 11 hour days for under $2 per hour per kid. For less than $2 per hour per kid, she not only wants you to take care of them and keep them safe, she wants you to teach them, clean up after them, clean up after her, do the laundry and cook meals. In addition to that, she wants the child care done in her home which limits your income to only what she's willing to pay you. At least if her kids came to you, you would have other families paying you as well which would boost your income. Hmm...no thanks!
