There was one ( which has been removed) that was titled looking for a babysitter . When you looked at the ad it was an adult man who wanted someone to be his mommy and treat him like a 6 month old baby . Yes, that included diapering , bathing and bottle feeding him .

OMG!!!!--It looks like stills from a movie, "Little Daycare of Horrors." (I kind of want to see if there are any missing kids that match that little boy.)

Our current nanny is resigning due to a family matter. We are needing someone to watch our 1 1/2 year old daughter in OUR home Monday-Friday from 7am-5:30pm. Our older two go to school from 7:20am-2:40pm. We would need someone that would pick our girls up from school and bring them home. Their school is less than a mile from our home. We are needing someone to start next Monday. Our older girls are 5 and 6 1/2. We are on a tight budget and can pay $150 a week. You must be okay with a background check, Motor vehicle report, and possibly a drug screen and nanny cam. You would be welcome to eat anything in our kitchen and if you have a little one you would be welcome to bring them as well. You MUST MUST MUST be reliable. We have had issues with this in the past. If you are sick I understand people get sick! We are understanding people. But having something happen or come up every week is not going to work out. And if you have a week that you want to take off or need a vacation just let us know well in advance so that we can get a replacement for that week! Our nanny did that and we had no problems with it at all. We just need notice. I know we sound like sticklers but we really are laid back people! We just care about our children and want someone that will treat them like family! If this sounds like something you would be interested in please text or e-mail me with any questions! If you have references please don't forget to include those. Thank you!

Wow! $10 power day!! If your child is there for 10 hours, that's $1 per hour!! Illegal or not, why do people put such a low value on themselves and their time?

"SHM $10 a day (Hazel Green)
I have two openings for $10 a day for the first child and $5 each additional child.

I have a schedule that I keep each day to help your child grow and learn through play.

I have wonderful references."

There is a provider here near me that charges $20 a day. Reasonable enough, but then charges $25 a day for two. WTH??? How can you even feed the second one for $5 a day?

SO- I get to play taxi cab, be available at beck and call, can't have a committed relationship, and can have my life threatened before we even meet? Sounds like the perfect job. JEEZ
