.... WHAT?!
1) After School Care Needed for Boy (Seattle)
Our situation: I'm a single mom who works third shift (11pm-6am) for Boeing. My son is an independent kid of 12, who if left to his own devices, would play video games, eat me out of house and home, and run all over to various friends' houses. Unfortunately, I have to sleep during the day and can't always be up to supervise! ;) What I'm looking for is someone to watch my son in the afternoons after school while I'm sleeping. You would need to make sure he does his chores, takes out the dog, does his homework, and does his laundry. No need to cook him dinner, as he's perfectly capable of doing it--I taught him how to cook and do laundry at an early age. Just make sure his "dinner" isn't 4 bowls of cereal. Feel free to play video games with him after chores, watch a movie, or just hang out with him. He's an interesting little soul--he's just 12 and he needs to be supervised to make sure he gets his responsibilities taken care of and he stays on task. He's extremely bright, engaging, and talking to him is generally like talking to an adult. This isn't "babysitting" in the classic sense--more like "protecting a 12 year old from himself." ;)
Your gender is unimportant--he may even relate better to a male. I would prefer, however, that mature people apply. No teenagers, please.
No housecleaning necessary unless you feel like earning extra (I certainly am willing to pay more if you feel like cleaning!) I don't mind if you have a child of your own and need to bring him or her with you. Alex is extremely good with younger children. You'll need to be familiar with pre-teen boys, if possible, and be okay with dogs (We have a small Pomeranian/Yorkie mix who loves to cuddle).
Pay is negotiable--I have no idea what to offer, so you tell me what you'd charge for 2-3 hours of care per day, and we'll go from there!

2) Looking 4 a Teenage Babysitter (D.C.)
I need a babysitter for some Friday nights & some Saturday afternoons. The pay will be only $25 a day, however you will have access to the internet, cable, snacks & juice/soda! My kids are 10 yrs & 15 months. The 10 yr old can watch the 15 month old, so you really wouldn't have anything to do......but I would just like someone older in the house when I go out @ nite or when I have to work a long day on Saturday. Saturday's I generally work from 1pm - 9:30pm. You will need to be a good student in school, no criminal history or expulsions from school and just a good role model for my kids. I will pick you up and drop you off at home. Thanks for looking at my ad!!!

9) Real World Nanny for Real World Family (Chicago)
Hi my name is Tiffany and I am 27 years old.
So I'm not sure where to start because I am not posting you normal nanny AD ...
I will just tell you a little about me....
Beware...
I am honest and I don't sugar coat anything (unless your a child)
First few things you should know about me... because i need to be 100% honest with the family that I hope to become a small part of.
1. I believe in GOD and I don't hide it.
2. I do not drive..I don't even have a license, I dont see the point when we live in Chicago and there is more then enough public transportation to get around. (might be welling to get a license, but i would rather not) this city has enough cars...
3.I do smoke cigarettes (NEVER EVER will i smoke around a child, (I don't even bring them with me when i go to sit for a child) starting smoking is the worst thing i EVER did and i wish i had never stated and I am not about to let a child (who i hope to be a POSITIVE influence on) see me smoking. ( I hope to be smoke free before the new year)
4 I love kids and I love hanging out with them and I don't see watching kids as a job.
this is just me telling you the truth...I don't see trying to hide anything from someone who i might end up being close too....I wouldn't want a liar watching my children (when i have them) so I wont lie to you. ( Karma is real )
I know that I am not the right kinda Nanny for a lot of people on here , but I might be for you.
and I know i dont wanna be a just nanny I wanna be a close family friend
I have had 2 long term "Nanny" jobs in my life (not counting the once in a whiles) and thats because the first one was for 6 years (in CA before i moved here, and i still talk to them once a week on the phone and see her when i go home for visits) and this last one was for 4 years and only ended because they moved and the children started school full time.
This is the kinda nanny i wanna be, with only one family until i am no longer needed....

* Response from angry CL readers... (note: Single Dad may have made slight changes to his Ad after reading some of the negative feedback)
14) RE: Single Dad needs a Nanny for 6 year old
Just a heads up...this not only sounds fishy and insulting, it isn't going to get you tons of fantastic candidates. There are woman out there younger and older, with partners who are fantastic nannies. I would understand not wanting a partner living in, but to ask for only single candidates is rude. You said live out is a possibility for one, and two there are non-single individuals who live alone. The way this ad is worded is just strange....
Oh and fyi, insulting and ranting in a caregiver wanted ad...really not a lovely first impression.
This is coming from a nanny of 7 years and a parent of two.
Original URL: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/kid/1493685798.html
15) RE: Single Dad
His ad belongs in craigslist personals and NOT childcare. His ad states NO requirements related to childcare and ALL requirements related to getting a "girlfriend." There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about requiring experience with kids or a good driving record. It's all about looks, age, and marital status. How does being "hot" and a 20 something or early 30 something and being single pertain to being a good nanny? It doesn't!

16) RE:RE: Single Dad Needs a Nanny for 6 year old
Hey Pervert, you're a total Weirdo who needs to get OFF of Craigslist Nanny Ad's and put an ad on a dating site! You're disgusting and why does your nanny need to be in a certain age bracket and have to send their photo unless you have ulterior motives and intentions. And your rude comment about the girl needing to take a computer class because she can't upload her photo? Well, if you had an ounce of a brain yourself, you would have never posted such a creepy post, YOU FREAK!

18) RE: Full Time Nanny and Housekeeper in Union City - DO NOT REPLY! (CA)
If you read this posting earlier DO NOT REPLY if you have any standards for yourself what so ever! They want a full time nanny AND someone to be responsible for housekeeping duties 7:30-5:30 Mon-Fri AND only willing to pay $250-$325 a week!!!! Let me get this straight, 10 hrs a day 5 days a week equals 50 hrs. Then 50 hrs divided by $250 = $5!!!!
They are only willing to pay $5-$6.50!! That is waaayyyyy less than minimum wage in Ca!! These people are either looking to rip you off BIG TIME or they are REALLY BAD at math!! WOW.....this was VERY insulting even wasting my time to read their ad. That was a few minutes of my life I will never get back. I just had to take the time to write and show you people how CRAZY these people are!
IF YOU ARE A NANNY IN THE BAY AREA AND HAVE AT LEAST 3 YRS EXPERIENCE, YOU SHOULD BE GETTING PAID ANYWHERE FROM $15-$20/HR DEPENDING ON HOW MANY KIDS AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES!! PLEASE KNOW THIS AND EXPECT THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY STANDARDS FOR YOURSELF WHAT SO EVER!!!

24) RE: Seeking Childcare for 10 month old baby
Wow..you are asking someone to work 10 hours a day..late hours at that, and are only offering $500 a month for it? If they are working full time for you, then that comes to $2.50 an hour. I dont know how great quality of childcare you are going to get when you are offering way below mininum wage. Perhaps you two don't have a great income but still, this is your infant we are talking about. If you want your child to recieve excellent care then you have to accept that you need to pay more. If you can't afford to pay more, then one of you should stay home and take care of your child!

28) Looking for Occassional Baby-sitter (San Francisco)
My husband and I hardly ever go out, just the two of us and feel it is now time to find an occassional baby-sitter for our four year old son so that we can every once and awhile. He is a wonderful little boy who is very well behaved, imaginative, and fun to be around. He does have a heart condition so we would ideally like to find someone who is CPR/first aid certified or trained, but he requires no special needs, only medicine which you wouldn't have to be responsible for. We are just looking for a reliable and responsible person who would be available in their home on an occassional night, sometimes with only a days notice. Depending on what time your house has dinner, some nights, we may need for you to provide him dinner, although we could bring him something for dinner if needed. Most nights we would go out would be after dinner, generally between 8pm-midnight. Dinner nights would be 6pm-9 or 10pm. We don't have a lot of money, but can offer $25 for 4 hours...or maybe we could work out a trade??? The house must be cigarette free, but pets are not an issue and other little ones would be awesome. I know I am not offering a lot of money, but if you find this may be something that could work for you for a little extra money every once and again, we would love to hear from you. We are definitely looking for someone to watch him on Sat. Dec. 19 so we can go to my husband's company Christmas party. It would be from 6pm-10 or 11pm and if we were later than 10pm, we could give you an extra $5 or work something out. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
