So a few things about this ad made me cringe.
1. She wants some one to work ALL WEEKEND for about $2/hour.
2. She played the "single mom" card
3. She states that she is "on a tight budget" yet her son is in baseball, basketball, AND katate?
Seriously?

I don't think it's unreasonable. I wouldn't do it, because I'm not willing to give up my weekends... However, I don't feel it's that out of line for 3 days. It may be kinda fun for college kid or a mom with similar age kids.
The tight budget thing doesn't bother me either. If karate, baseball, etc are in her budget and she's budgeted $75 for his care = no problem with that.

Uhhh...Even in high school i would definitely not work for such a little amount of money. I have always turned work down if the people weren't will to pay minimum wage.http://tulsa.craigslist.org/kid/4338413568.html

Unless she pays a flat rate/salary, if that where for a baby sitter paying less than minimum wage would be illegal (at least in my state); I heard that some places are even coming up with laws where babysitters will need a 15 minute relief (substitute provider for a break) every 2 hours and a 1/2 relief every 4 hours for lunch. Lol, I bet a lot of parents who use babysitters are going to be mad about the $10 minimum wage rise... especially if they also have to pay a sub to show up every 2 hours.http://tulsa.craigslist.org/kid/4338413568.html

And trust me, I was in a situation similar to the situation the mom is describing (minus all the extra curricular activities; but several days a week) and who ever does take this job will most likely wind up burned out and quitting.

No way would this fly around here and I am in a college town. It might work IF she hired a SAHM and the boy went to someone elses house and was not doing all those sports. She is needing a nanny and she would have to pay for it around here, at least minimum wage but more than likely $10 to $15 an hour. Those early mornings and long days every weekend? no one is going to want to do that.
MotherNature 05:46 AM 02-19-2014
34 hours a week for $75??? Plus using your own car/gas??? She's on crack.

A babysitter is not an employee. Babysitters are exempt from federal minimum wage laws.

Can you post a link showing where you found that information?
As far as state minimum wage laws, from what I understand, CA Bill AB 889-domestic work employees... still classifies babysitters (under age 18) and adults who provide care but are exempt from licensing laws are exempt from the minimum wage requirements.

When I was in college in the early 90s I was already making $5-6/hr babysitting for date nights etc.

I think I have it beat! 
I was browsing craigslist, just came across this ad and had to share it!
Title: Nanny/babysitter/ daycare NEEDED ASAP!!
(google map)
Seeking full time care for a 4 year old boy. Hours Monday through friday 6AM to 6:30PM. Would like caretaker to be located in the ****** area or if you are willing to transport then we are located in the ******* area. Needing reliable, stable care. Can afford a pay range between 60 and 100 for drop off care and 85-115 if you transport. please call or text ************ Thanks!
This part of town is extremely expensive!!! Weekly care ranged from $250-$325 a week and no transportation. I get she can't afford that, I couldn't afford that!!! But that's just a slap in the face. That wouldn't even be enough to pay for the child to eat. So the provider would basically be paying for the child to stay in their care.

Wow! Does she mean she could pay that price per week? I would reply and tell her you would be willing to take her up on her offer and watch the child for $60 to $100/day.I think I have it beat!

Sorry, no way! My dd makes $10/hr babysitting.
How much do you want to bet she also works M-F and never sees the kid.

You'd have to see their pics to get your own face on. Seriously... they have the weirdest pics attached. Their license image, pics of them and their kids. Just weird... Sadly this girl can't even spell or type proper English!
She's had ads up for months!

Do they ask to see your W2 in order to determine your rates? All those spelling/grammar mistakes drive me krazy
. I'd love to see the pics!

"working with all kinds of development levels including handicap"
smh...no. Just.no.
I sincerely doubt that this person has worked with people of different physical abilities and developmental levels and calls them "handicap"
Call me a snob, but I wouldn't trust anyone with my kid that couldn't find a friend to proof read their advertisement. I get that grammar/spelling is not everyone's strong suit, but if that's the BEST face you can put on your business, I do NOT trust you when you're having a crappy day and at your worst.

If you go to craigslist san Francisco bay area and nby, then childcare and if you go to cities you can use the city they have listed. Can I link the actual listing? It has a lot of their personal info. Do they ask to see your W2 in order to determine your rates? All those spelling/grammar mistakes drive me krazy

Yeah, and the pics are NOT any help in getting business... lemme tell ya! It's quite scary that people may be desperate enough to use substandard care at a cheaper rate. My dh laughed at the vehicle info! LOL I wouldn't care if it was a 2014 BMW, I wouldn't let them drive with my kids."working with all kinds of development levels including handicap"

She's had ads up for months!I see ads all the time where they charge no late fee, and charge $10/day for 12 hours. I can only imagine the kind of care your child will receive for that price.

Oh I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who was like WTH at their ad!! It makes me feel really good about myself on one hand, then scared for the local kids on the other!! Most people who would even consider them wouldn't be considering me as we live a good 30 mins away from each other, unless someone was commuting and looking at daycares both near their home and work.
