CL-WTF?

.... WHAT?!

1) Babysitter wanted (California)
We are looking for someone who has some spare time on there hands to spend some time with our 5 year old daughter . She is currently in kindergarten, she is really smart and she really does not require alot of supervision. She keeps herself busy, she likes doing crafts, playing with her dolls, drawing, or watching television. If your someone who is looking to earn a little bit of spending money without really having to do alot of work email me. Our daughter is really precious and she is the most important part of our lives, due to our financial situation we really cannot afford to spend alot of money on daycare and babysitters. We are looking for a female babysitter who doesn't smoke or do drugs and has experience with children, preferrably 18 years and up. We need someone who is available Saturday and Sunday and weekdays. Weekdays at the most will be 5 hours and at the least is 2 hours. With our work schedule we need someone who is available from 3 to 8 p.m., weekends are usually 8 hours. Our daycare provider charges us $15 a day, but she closes at 5 p.m. and she spends time with her family on the weekends. So if your seriously intersted email me. Like I mentioned above my daughter is really independent she just needs a little supervision.

2) Need a nanny tomorrow! and a few other days this month (Seattle)
My regular nanny is out sick this week and I'm looking for a temporary replacement for her. This is obviously last minute so please call me or email me this evening.

I am looking for someone for tomorrow (Thurs) from 8:30am to 2pm and also on Mon Sept. 20th (8am to 4pm). I currently can afford to pay $10 an hour. My children are very easy, laid back kids. They like walking to the park or playing here at our house. My daughter is 4 and my son is 1. My 4 year old attends preschool MWF starting next week so hopefully you'd be able to take her to school in Ballard. My son naps twice a day and is very easy to put down for a nap. He's an all around happy kid with lots of energy, he'll sleep in the stroller or crib without stress. References and CPR training are a must, my little guy loves to put things in his mouth. Call my cell at 206-313-**** or email.

9) Live-in babysitter/childcare (exchange room for occasional care) (D.C.)
I am single parent and business owner looking for part-time daycare/babysitting. I am moving into a new home in Bristow as well as opening a new office. I am looking for someone who is interested in reduced/no rent in exchange for evening and/or weekend babysitting hours. I will need to work in my office in Fairfax or go to clients homes some evenings during the week, occassionally Saturday, and maybe even when working from home. I would like for my child to establish a regular relationship with someone who can play with her, watch her, feed a prepared meal, or be present in the home at bed time. We can work out a regular schedule if you need predictability. I do not expect this help to be every evening and probably does not need to be every weekend. It's important that I maintain a safe, comfortable, loving environment for my child. It's important that you want to be a guardian/caretaker of my child. This should be a good arrangement if you understand that objective.
Our home is a 2,000 sq. ft. towhome. You may have use of our home's bathroom, kitchen, living, dining area, and wireless internet. Initially, I will not allow other people, guests, to come into our home, however, I think it's reasonable in the future if we establish an honest, trusting friendship. It is important to me that you feel comfortable too.
If you are interested, we can discuss your time constraints, obligations etc. I can send pictures of our home, your living space in particular, if needed.
This is not in any form a solicitation for "fun" or "adventure" or "lifestyle play" on my part and should not be on yours. Any response should not be considered a guarantee of any arrangement.

21) Nanny Needed, or a SAHM (Atlanta)
I need to find a nanny for my kids. M-F 7am-5 or 6pm. One is in school (girl, age 6) and the other is not (boy, age 2). My little boy is precious, and is really good, but very active. He loves to play outdoors and in social settings, so playing in the yard, at parks and storytime at the library are common activities we currently do. He plays well by himself, but is a talented escape artist, so he'll keep you on your toes :o) Pay is between $200-250 a week if working from our house, and between $125-150 if you'd be "working from your home". Requirements: must love kids, be physically fit, have a car & good driving record, be over 18, have great references, some childcare experience, responsible, sweet & loving demeanor. They are both very active so I'm looking for someone active who can keep up with them on a long term basis. So if you are one who likes to sit around and watch tv or play on the computer, you're not the one for this job. Every time you sit down at the computer/tv you will be pulled elsewhere :o

25) In need of Quality care (Norfolk)
hello! I am looking for a babysitter for my twin girls, Aurora and Makayla. They are almost 11 months old and are currently being watched by my sister who lives with me. How ever, she is moving back home within the next few months. I need a quality babysitter for my girls, and I will pay 125 a week all together but i am very picky..
It would have to be in my home 0600 to sometimes 1630 ( but very seldom that late.)
You will have to stick to the schedule that I give to you and pay very close attention to them through out the day.
No one else will be allowed to accompany you, unless authorized by me and my husband, my neighbors pay close attention to who goes in and out of your house so sneakyness will not be tolerated.
I hate to say this, but we are only comfortable with girls watching my kids. I don't have much of a reason other than, being uncomfortable having a guy in my house watching my babies.
You will be expected to clean every day after the girls, vacuum after snacks and meals, picking up their toys when they are sleeping.
I will expect you to change their diapers when they are wet or dirty, paying close attention to how wet they are and change them promptly.
I will expect you to play with my girls a little while a day.
I will expect you to respect everything in our home, furniture, electronics, animals, ( i have 2 cats) and keep everything looking tidy and together.
You can watch tv, but please no sleeping while you are watching my girls, even when they are napping, it will make me and my husband feel more comfortable.
Please respect me and my husbands ways of discipline, this will be further discussed if you decide to apply.
I know this all sounds like a lot to keep up with but I've never had any one else besides my family watch my girls and i am very nervous in getting a new sitter.
If you are interested in watching my girls please email me
or text me at 757-470-**** or give me a call if that's easier for you.
Please only serious people apply.
I'm not as crazy as I sound lol
Thank you so much for reading,
Samantha C****
