I am half tempted to respond but...I feel that even if she does choose me, she will be HARD to work with! I'd charge her 700$ for the two boys but I have a feeling she is looking for low ball prices. OUCH! |

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!

The overuse of caps alone is a huge turn off for me. She could be offering $20 a hour and I still wouldn't do it.

My concern with this ad is she has TWO children and one income for a family of FOUR. Ok, is there another child or another adult floating around?

Wow! That is outrageous! Where I live, that would run her $1200 MINIMUM. Personally, I would charge $800/mo, PER CHILD, and I close at 5:00
Like PP, I wouldn't care if she was offering $20/hour. I don't let people "require" anything from me. I am self-employed for a reason, and for $2 an hour? No freaking way I would let somone tell me what to do for that! Where do people get the idea that they can pay someone so little AND tell them what to do? I thought slavery was illegal! ![]() |

I was also wondering about the family of 4 and 2 children
![]() ![]() One of the big red flags for me was 3 hours devoted to teaching the 4 year old. I suppose if some of that time was used to do free play where they were also learning (like blocks, manipulatives, sensory play, etc.), but I have the feeling she meant she wants you to do 3 hours of worksheet-type of "teaching." |

99% chance that her husband is deployed and she's looking for work.

If the husband is working and she is also wouldn't that be 2 incomes?

"light" housework and meals is almost always meaning that it is everything possibly that she can get out of you.....the 3 hours of educational activities are outrageous. Anybody able to come up with that much focused learning, day after day, would be an experienced and/or educated individual that would be expecting a lot more money than what she can offer. the "we are on one income, I dont have much money" is always a red flag to me.
