1) LIVE OUT Nanny needed for loving family in Boston (Boston)
Hello, We are a lovely and loving family situated in Boston. Our children are the most important things in our lives, and we see to it that they get the best care available. We need care beginning August 3, 2009 for our 4 children: 5-year old daughter (she has obsessive compulsive disorder, so you must be comfortable keeping both yourself and our home immaculately clean), 3 year old son, and 4-month old twin sons. Below are the details of the position:
Schedule: 7:00 am - 6:30 pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 8:00 am - 11:00 pm on Saturday; occasional Sunday from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm, to join us for dinner.
Holidays and time off: You will be allowed to take 3 personal/sick days per year, without pay. Anything beyond that will result in termination of employment. You will have Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and the evening of Thanksgiving off, with pay if we see fit.
Duties include: Childcare, driving older children to activities, arranging playdates, taking our daughter to her psychologist's appointments, vacuuming, general housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation (we have recipes written out in detailed fashion for you), errand-running, grocery shopping at several different local locations, and other odd-jobs around the home as we see fit.
Candidates must: be legal to work in the United States of America, be experienced (at least 8-10 years professional experience), non-smoker, have your own reliable car with proof of immaculate driving record and recent inspection, be on time, be flexible with scheduling, be available at 1 hour's notice in case of an emergency, have a cell phone so that we can call and check in with the children throughout the day, have a clean background, provide proof of infant and child CPR/First Aid training, and have had a negative TB titer, a negative chest x-ray, a negative Varicella titer, etc. within three months of starting the position. We will give strong preference to candidates with a degree in a childcare-related field.
Salary is $200 - $250 per week, commensurate with experience. This is non-negotiable. There may be a $10/week stipend for gas, if my husband and I think it is appropriate for the amount of driving you did that week; we will check mileage on your vehicle.
All applicants interested in this opportunity may send their resumes with at least 5 professional references to the Craigslist email address above. Provide your telephone number and hours when you can be reached. We will contact you if your response interests us. We anticipate that the response to this opportunity will be overwhelming, so I suggest that you reply early. Good luck. Regards, Kimberly and Thomas

10) Part-Time Nanny Wanted (Las Vegas)
Looking for evening childcare 3-4 nights per week for 3 children. We are not a religious family, but have had trouble in past with care givers who seek to influence our children to believe in religious concepts. Also, if the subject of religion comes up in our house, it is our belief that all religions are mere superstitions, initially developed as a way to control and manipulate the ignorant masses. We believe that organized religion is the greatest threat to peace and educational/scientific advancementa the world. If these types of opinions offend you, this would not be the right gig for you. But other than that, we are a very easy going family. You would probably discover that working for us would be a fun and rewarding experiene.

I need a sitter to come to my home and basically be damage control LOL. My children will be asleep, and my parents will be here but they will be asleep too (Im going through a divorce and my children and I are staying with my parents until I can get on my feet). So I basically need someone to stay up and watch TV or surf the internet and be here if my kids wake up for anything, as well as help get them into bed. I have two boys and one girl ages 7, 5, and 1.5yrs. You need to love kids, have experience, prefer if you know infant CPR, and have alot of patience. You'll need to be able to stay awake too :) I will need you from about 6pm until 2 or 3am most likely. I cant afford alot since Im a single mom, so this may be a good job for a teen looking for a little extra money. I cant afford $10 an hour or anything. But you'll have access to TV, internet, and our fridge :) My kids are very cute and well behaved and it will be a super easy job. Im easy to work with too. So shoot me an email or call me. 425 931 **** My name is Jessie. Thanks!

15) Re: Babysitter needed (New York)
you have to be smoking some drugs....thats a $100 a week at 12 plus hours a day. thats $20 a day. thats not even 2 bucks an hour, its less. damn we all need money to survive but i would be damn if you folks are going to treat us as crack heads looking for 'rock' money. if you dont take the caregiving that we offer serious then there is no need for you to ask for references and 2 forms i.d. all these hirers want to talk about how the economy has affected them and money is tight. well its tight for us also. do you all ever think about that? bu again i feel most of you were cheap to begin with and is usuing this 'money crisis' as a scapegoat. im all for negotiating but this isnt compromise this is right out thievery. these are the same folks who will take advantage of an illegal and work them like slaves. but as an American i dont have to stand for it. but unfortunately the sad state is some poor person will take this job cuz in their eyes something is better then nothing.thats what these trolls are banking on. but thankfully most of us have the knowledge to know their are others who appreciate what we do and wont insult us.and can wait it out.hmm sad you think your 3 year old is worth less then $2.00. i bet they will have all these rules and do's and don'ts. funny thing is most of these people have family members and they wont even watch a child over night for that. watch as usual when we post about the wrong doers we get flagged. guilty conscience

16) need a nanny (Sugarland)
Thank you to everyone who has responded to my ad. You all sound so great. After reading numerous e-mails I think I have left out and important fact. I can only afford 150 - 200 a week and possibly might be able to change the hours from 7:30 - 5:30 to 8:30 - 3:30 - 4:00. Please if any of you wonderful nannies / providers could possibly come to my home or them to you and provide my children with positive interaction, supervision, and FUN please send me another e-mail. I know it's not allot of money and I will try and help you in anyway possible gas money, preparing the meals prior to leaving for work or coming home to prepare lunch. I live very close to work and both children are well behaved (sometimes boys will be boys). If any of you wonderful nannies/providers can work with me please send me another e-mail.
I have two wonderful children one 8 and the other 4 that are in need of a sitter from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. I would love to have someone come to my home where they are comfortable if possible. We live in sugardland. Please e-mail me if you are trustworthy and great with children. I am in need of someone super fast. Please include in your e-mail your weekly rate and experience Thank you

17) Babysitter needed (West Sahara)
In need of a female, In Home sitter, part time (between 28- 30 hrs/ wk). Days and times are Wednesday- Friday, Early morning until about 5 or 5:30 pm. Pay is $100 cash, paid each Friday unless otherwise requested. Must have reliable transportation, a positive personality, and be able to interact with my 6 year old child in a healthy, fun way. Must be reliable! I have had many potential sitters make plans to meet with me and then just flake. I am a single mom and I am currently very busy with work- I really cannot afford to waste anymore time thinking I've found the right person to watch my awesome kid so that I feel totally relieved, and then just have them not show up or call me or answer their phone. This has happened 3 times in the last two weeks!! I'm starting to think it's some sick cosmic joke.
Please, only reply if you know you can be available those days, if you are reliable, and if the pay is adequate. I am hoping, with time and the right person, to increase the pay, but that is it for now. I would prefer a student (17 or older) or a SAHM with similar aged child(ren). I also think it would be in the sitter's best interest to live close to our side of town (Summerlin/ Lakes area).
I am looking for someone to start right away. Please email to this response with your phone number and if you sound like what I am looking for, I will call you right away.
Thank you for reading my post!
