* Response from angry CL readers:

23) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
To the lady with the 18 m old that said "I'm not willing to pay an arm & leg for someone to sit on my couch all day."
Is that what you do, sit on the couch all day??
As a provider, I engage children with reading, abcs, sing alongs, finger painting, trips to the museums & parks as well as feeding them, changing them, comforting them and keeping a watchful eye that they don't choke, fall, drown or get burned throughout the day.
Honey, if you think it's so easy to watch a toddler, save your $20 and stay home yourself with her!!!!
To any other parents who want to disrespect what we do as babysitters, daycare owners, nannys etc..... You try it for 1 week and see if you aren't back to yoru regular job b/c you couldn't handle it! What we do is the most important job, we take care of your kids, you know the most valuable asset you have, our future!!!
URL: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/kid/2028691203.html

24) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
I couldn't have said it any better myself. Why is she expecting someone to sit on her couch all day? I have never sat on my couch all day, unless I was sick. And even then, I still take time to sit on the floor and play with my children and take them outside to run and play. Sometimes I wonder how adults got to be so screwed up. If you're parenting your toddler by sitting on the couch all day, there is a problem in your home. Children of all ages deserve an involved and active parent. Please reconsider how you are raising your child. And $20 to work all day? Who would work for $20 a day? Would you? Of course not. I am actually glad your child is going to be going to a babysitter. I hope she gets a sitter who really cares about her and will play with her and teach her what she needs to know for kindergarten. But for $20 a day, you are probably going to get someone who has problems. No self respecting babysitter will work for such a low wage. I pay my teenage babysitter more than that. Then again, she doesn't sit on my couch all day!

25) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
Here we go again and again always have something to say......very unprofessional you are.
Always complain complain complain.....both of you should go back to school for not understanding what that
Mother said...shame on you to even respond if you didn't understand what she said.
From what I read she said.... She will pay $20 for that day which is the hours she needed you is 11-4:30 that would be 5hrs
She will provide everything for her child as will as meal for the sitter..... She will pay more if she goes over the time she needed you.
She said she will not pay arm and a leg for you to sit her child and do nothing but sit in the couch all day.... She probably means she will not pay more than $20 dollars for the 5 hrs she needed you especially if she will provide everything for her daughter plus a meal for you as well...but she will pay more if the hrs goes ovvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrrrr the hrs she needed you.
READ N UNDERSTAND before saying something negative......like I said before if you don't like what the parents offer ignore no need for this crap from the people.....

27) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
Minimum wage in Virginia is $7.25. This includes nannys. She isn't even paying a legal wage. She will provide her own child's food in her own home. And a meal for the nanny. Why even point this out? It's expected. If you're so educated, you shouldn't assume that it's the same people responding. This is the second time I have posted a discussion here. You falsely assumed I was someone else. If you were educated you would know what is expected and what is legal. But you don't. And you're complaining about other complaining. That's ironic. I am done with this discussion. I just hope that nannys don't accept such an insulting offer. I wouldn't dream of offering a nanny below what someone at McDonalds earns and point out a free meal. If that is all she can afford, that is understandable. In that case, she should be looking into family home child cares not an in home nanny. Maybe she should look for someone holding up a Will Work For Food sign to watch her child.
URL: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/kid/2029026041.html

28) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
I'm sorry for having to re-hash this but if all she is willing to pay is $20.00 - what type of babysitter does she expect to get? Um, I'm thinking it's one that sits on the couch all day! Certainly not the attentive, get-on-the-floor-and-play type of babysitter! And I'm so sick of hearing some parents say: I won't pay an arm and a leg - but you know damn well they would pay out the nose for that LV purse or those bad-ass shoes! Give me a break! Kids should ALWAYS be worth paying an arm and a leg for!
URL: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/kid/2031742577.html

29) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
This section is FULL of providers advertising full-time services (which are usually up to 10 hrs a day) for $75 , $85, $95, $100 a week. $20 a day would equal out to be $100 a week! What is the flipping difference?? AND - she was looking for someone to only do 6 hours a day! You don't know her or her situation. Get over yourselves.
URL: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/kid/2031786812.html

30) RE: need reliable sitter (Norfolk)
Home daycares can charge $20 per day, because they watch 4 kids at a time which equates to $8 / hour. If you want an in home, private provider, you're looking for a nanny, for one-on-one attention. Of course, if you want a couch potato who is only there for an easy $20 while she just texts and watches tv all day, you'll be able to find one of those, too.

If really only want to spend $20 (and you actually value your kid more than your Chanel purse), I'd recommend you look into part time home daycares. You'll have the peace of mind knowing your child is safe and the benefit of a provider who is not just "sitting on the couch all day."

12) Babysitter available for boys (New York)
Babysitter available for boys. I am going into my junior year of college and am home for the remainder of the summer. I go back the end of August, so, all of August I am available to help out. If you are interested, and request a resume, let me know. I am great with kids, and I have great references. Why you would want to hire me to watch your boys? Because boys may want a guy babysitter to look after them, someone who is into sports, or games, or just to talk to hang out, and someone they can look up to. Thank you, Dave

15) PLEASE READ BEFORE HIRING A NANNY (California)
In the past few years nannies have gotten spoiled rotten by the rich. I have had about 10 nannies since baby was born and even the best of them took the life out of me and my family.
I’m not super clean and tried to be extremely nice give them valuable gifts, treat them like family and they still spit at the hands that feed them!!!
They stole my camera with all the baby pics, always lying , sweeping dirt under the rug, disorganize the house so we can’t find anything , stood me up when I need to go work - lying they were on the way... even hitting the baby because they think some rich lady can pay them more.
The sad thing is when we spoil them the single or working mothers that really need them are compromised the most in society
Why are they charging 10$ hr? I mean even if they speak English. Even if you went to school for 2 yrs for degree, you probably won’t make $10+ after taxes. I can get someone with degrees who teaches kids French for the price they want.
DON’T FORGET, they don’t pay taxes and you can’t write them off your taxes either because we pay them cash. That means you’re actually paying them about $20 an hour.

You do this because they have trained us well. They are united and teach each other tricks so YOU don’t get spoiled even though you paying them and they to show you who is the boss. All the moms are afraid of their nanny!!!
Also they are not afraid because the maid services take them back even after you inform them that they stole or hit a baby.
Parents, lets stand up and unite like them!!!
1. We are their employer and the only way to get them to do their job is treat them like an employee not a friend who is doing you a FAVOR. Interview and show the work in a proffessional strict manner.
2. Don’t pay them more then minimum wage AFTER TAXES, it’s about 5$. Let them know they don’t pat taxes and you can’t write them off your taxes either.
3. Always leave yourself a 1 wk deposit that they lose if they lie to your face and don’t show up!!!! This way they stop playing games and training us.
4. They couldn't make a restaurant manager do the dishes with them why should we? If you end up helping them take it off their salary and tip. They don’t get paid to HELP us they come to do THEIR job, e have enough to do. let them know from the start you are their boss not the opposite
5. If you have too much money to give them use maids with degrees and skills... those are priceless - but please don’t overpay and spoil the under skilled nannies for the single working moms that really need them.
6. Get their prints, pictures and address. If they steal or abuse call the police and post their info and pics to let us know. Be assertive not passive it will only feed the beast.
7. Let the Maid Services know what you will do if they take them back.
8. Put hidden cameras if you can and don’t be intimidated because they are working with your kids. The more we spoil them the worse the abuse will be when they don’t get what they want.
Treat them like you would a bad teacher. They are replaceable and they know it. They only respect when they fear. This will give single and working moms the chance to be financially independent and contribute to society. This shouldn't cost us an arm and a leg.
You are also helping them learn not to spit in the hands that feed them and be professional. With this attitude they will never make it in anything in America or anywhere.
Thanks,
Desperate Mom

.... HOW MUCH?!

16) Need female 3x a week to help w/children & light housework (California)
Hi,

Need someone who is punctual, reliable, patient, good with children, and has reliable transportation.

Will be responsible for the following:
Tuesdays & Thursdays- pick up my 3 yr. old from preschool in Cypress (Moody & Ball) then pick up my 5 yr. old from school (Moody & La Palma Ave.). Bring girls to my home in Cypress and help tidy up/light housework while they play.

17) RE: need female 3x a week to help w/children & light houseclean (California)
I want you to drive my two kids to different locations, and then pick them up at different locations. And with all your extra time left, I want you to do light housework, My pay is a whopping $85.00 a week, meaning, I want you to work slightly over 8 hours, not compensate you for gas and disorganize your whole day, while helping me out. It's very obvious that I do not really care about other's feelings, because the most important thing to me is to let people know my brother is in law inforcement, and if I was really intune with reality, I would understand that all hardworking individuals out there bustin their fannies to make ends meet could give a flyin rip that your brother is a cop. You need a reality check my dear, get your head out of the sand, this is 2010. If you really think someone is a whacko, run a check on them before you hire them, you don't have to tell them you're going to do this, intimidation is for weaklings. I'm always amazed the people with the biggest, scariest, long list of to do's, is the people that are so cheap, they rub a nichel till the buffalo sqeals. You'll get someone for your price, but they'll either be extremely tired and unmotivated because they work too hard, and/or rip you off blind while your back is turned, because they know you are cheap!

23) Need a modern day Mary Poppins (California)
The Basics:
Need someone to care for my 3 year old son, in my home. We live at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a very good neighborhood in Plumas Lake. My son is a very sweet, very loving & active little boy, who has been "labeled" hyperactive by his physician, we are working through this as much as possible with a low sugar diet and natural supplements. We have tried the traditional daycare option, but it has not worked out. His physician recommended exploring the option of finding a nanny, so here we are! I need someone who is patient and can handle strong-willed children well. My son does best with environments with which is familiar and comfortable, thus being another factor supporting my decision to seek a nanny.
I would require care be provided Monday - Friday from about 7:30 a.m. until I get home from work at 5:15 p.m.. My place of employment is 10 minutes away, so I would be close by if ever needed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

....WHAT?!

Feature Ad:
1) Looking for help with my Kids (D.C.)
Single dad looking for help with his twin 2 yr old with dining out, shopping, hiking, and many other fun things that I feel like I'm missing out! This is not an ad for hookups or sexual motives. I have my girls 3 day a week and I hate to stay home especially with cold weather near. I have tried so many times to take my girls to lunches, dinner, zoos, shopping, etc..Not something that's easy and it kinda takes away from the fun when trying to juggle both of them. This is ad is exactly what it says but will pay at least $10.00 an hour plus meals out and other expenses. Yes, including drinks when dining so be at least 21. This is not a nanny position since I already have one but rather a Dad's assistant, better yet a friend of daddy that likes to help.

Here's the tricky part, since I am paying cash each time for this and will be seen publicly with my help I ask that you be put together, hygienic, experienced or loves kids, has own car, doesn't eat two entrees or get hammered since it's free, not a plus size (sorry) since I enjoy hiking with them, must must a sense of humor since my girls love to see daddy laugh. Do not respond if you are married or attached since all of our time will be out in public with me and my kids. Would not want a husband or boyfriend going apesh#*! cause you were spotted with another man.

A little about me, professional single dad that lives in Fairfax (Fairlakes). Goofy, very goofy. Very laid back and easy to get along with. Hours will vary so don't quit your day job. Any questions feel free to email me. Thanks for looking.

2) RE: Looking for help with my Kids (D.C.)
Something does not seem right about this man's ad. I know that you stated very clearly that you aren't trying to do anything bad but that's what makes me even more suspicious and reading through your ad makes me very curious. For example you mentioned that the woman should not be a plus size..what does that have to do with anything? And why does the woman have to be single? If her husband or boyfriend knows what her job entails, he shouldnt get jealous. And yes I realize that twins are alot to handle, I've babysat twins in the past too, but THOUSANDS of parents of twins learn to juggle twins on their own. If you really are a single dad of twins you need to learn how to go out in public with them by yourself, learn how to discipline them correctly so they don't become too much for you to handle.You mention that drinks are included so the woman has to be 21, well what makes you think the woman would want to drink? not everybody in this world drinks! Just something in this ad does not seem right, so LADIES be VERY CAREFUL!! I wouldn't reccomend any woman take this job. If he really does turn out to be a single father, well, then hes gotta learn how to do things on his own.

13) RE: Respite Provider Shawna C*** (Madison)
There are 3 not 2 disorderly conducts in there. While I understand people can make mistakes this is a bit much to frequent. She must have a temper and anger easily.

14) Need Babysitter ASAP (Oklahoma)
I know this probably isn't the best way to pot something but I am new to the area and need a baby sitter badly. I had one but she can't do it anymore and i need someone close by. I need one before Monday if it 's possible. Someone who is able to watch her anywhere from 7 in the morning to after 11 would be nice. My husband works 3-11 mostly so it would normally only be from about 2 until I get off. Please e-mail me back with prices and references!!!!

I'm looking for a live in/live out male or female to live in a gay household.

I will be home most of the time unless I do errands or you do them. We are looking to pay cash between 150-200 week depending on circumstances.

Would prefer someone (if live out) to be here from 8:00 to 4:00 or 4:30... live in you would still have your own time and could work a job.

30) Rent for Childcare (Seattle)
I am a professional and a single mom with two boys ages 8 and 6. They are active, and a bit rowdy, but well behaved. I have a house, but not much cash, so I am being creative to make ends meet.

I need someone who can watch my kids after school and on non-school days. My kids need to be picked up from school at 3:30. I usually get home between 5:30 and 6:00, except one weekend a month when I have to work late on Friday and the following Monday and Tuesday. I would like someone who will supervise the boys with their after school snack, their chores and then send them to play (usually outside with the neighborhood kids).

We do not smoke or drink or use bad language. I am pretty strict with my boys and I need to be careful about their environment. I am kind of old fashioned. I hate video games and think little boys should be outside climbing trees and riding bikes. We don’t get cable and watching videos is a rare treat. My kids do not need to be entertained all the time, but I do want someone to engage with them.
I keep a clean house and a nice yard, though I am actually quite laid back. A messy person or someone who does not respect my home or yard would really bother me.

Here is a bit about my place.
I live on a quiet cul-de-sac in the downtown Bothell area. The cul-de-sac is off a dead end, so it is really quiet and a safe place for kids to ride bikes, etc. We are only a few blocks from the Bothell library and it is a quick walk to the park at Bothell Landing. We are right by the bus and Cascadia. It is a nice and safe location.

The house is on a large lot with a fenced backyard. My house is a 1960's ranch style with a basement. All of the carpets and paint are fresh, but the house is not new or flashy; comfortable though. The room is in my basement and it is huge (16x30--which is the size of two large bedrooms). It has a large window and is a daylight room. There are also two closets. It has an attached bathroom with a shower. The shower is tub sized, but not a bath tub. There is a separate entrance. If you are respectful, you can use my washer and dryer. This space will suit up to two people, or a couple with a little baby. No animals please.

The family room is large and cozy with a gas fireplace. We all just share the family room. It has a big TV, but no cable, just VCR and DVD. There is a kitchenette in the family room with a good sized little fridge and a sink. I share space in my upright freezer which is in the basement. My current tenants use my kitchen, but I never know it except when I smell good food.

I would like to find someone right away. I am only asking for help with utilities.

If this sounds like a good match, send me an email and I will get right back to you. Thanks for reading my totally huge post!
