.... WHAT?!

Feature Ad:
1) Seeking a Nanny, Housekeeper and part time Trauma Nurse (Portland)
We run a small home business and we have three special needs children. We have a very active home with lots of energy and a periodically broken volume knob. We would like someone who is self motivated, dependable, not afraid of hard work and excited to work with children. We would like this person to have at least two years experience working with children, some experience working with children with disabilities preferred, current CPR and first aid training, at least two professional references and knowing how to operate multiple remotes to multiple devices would be a huge plus. That’s what we would like; but if you’re brave enough to walk through the front door, well, that just might do.

We need help with: getting the kids off the bus after school, home work, cleaning their rooms, playing board games with ever evolving and unidentified rules, making and serving meals, cleaning up after meals, changing poopy diapers, changing poopy underpants, referee sibling conflicts, soothing agitated moods, singing the veggie tales theme song, vacuuming, that’s not yours, organizing the art cabinet or keeping the five year old occupied while I do, some grocery shopping and putting it away, getting this child out of that child’s room and putting all the toys this child took out of that child’s room and spread across the living room floor back in that child’s room, cleaning the crayon marks off the wall this child made while you were helping that=2 0child get their toys back, changing beds, getting kids into pajamas, I just cleaned that!!!, privacy means you don’t go outside naked, put that back, deciphering the speech therapist’s handwriting, folding laundry or standing watch over the three WMDs while I do it, explaining why we have to wear pants if the babies don’t, picking up toys outside, will you please stop bugging him, taking out the garbage, some gardening, telling the boys to take their hand out of there, for the love of God let Mommy finish just one cup of coffee, please, PLEASE!, oh my God where did you get that!, playing NERF dart tag while knowing that no matter how the game goes you have to loose and fall to the ground and let the kids fall on your kidneys like a trampoline, fixing broken toys, art projects, running to the post office and the bank and Walgreens for compression bandages and then the liquor store, backing me in any argument I’m having with the husband, don’t put the used Kleenex back in the box, reading stories, playing dress up, making pretend hamburgers, singing the veggie tales theme song, taking a turn standing watch over the youngest during a psychotic episode, organizing the office, setting up the fisher price train, getting out the stickers and some paper, getting the two oldest into the bath and keeping the youngest out of the bath, finding the source of20“that smell”, helping to hold the oldest down while we attempt to administer ear drops, scraping stickers off the TV and digging some paper out of the heat register, because girl lobsters wear makeup, putting in a new DVD-CD-game cartridge-DVD -game cartridge-CD-cartridge-DVD-CD-CD-CD …, soothing head tooth toe ear knee belly aches, cleaning up any manner of biological fluids emitted from a child’s body that were probably intended to appear in a different form or from a different orifice, please go bug somebody else, please let there be enough hot water left for just one more shower, will you please do that in your room, remembering that my kids are neither evil or malicious, cuddles, do you need to go potty, did you flush the toilet, did you wash your hands, did you use soap and water, why is the water still running, please turn off the light, ARE YOU WET!!, some filing, proofreading e-mails and CL posts before I send them … obviously, what did you just flush down there?!?, taking the kids out to the zoo or the mall, going for special days at the park or the pool, going on discovery walks, carrying the middle child back when he discovers his knees are too sore to walk back on his own, finding the !!BLUE!! shirt, ushering the children out of the bathroom when the toilet overflows, finding the plunger and plunging the toilet, singing the veggie t ales theme song, ushering the children out of the bathroom when the toilet overflows again after we tried to flush it before completely clearing the blockage, letting Daddy believe he was the first one to get his little girl to say that clearly, convincing the little girl that Mommy isn’t the only one that can change her poopy diapers, for the last time (again) TURN THAT DOWN!, that’s not a jungle gym, Where-Are-Your-Pants?, taking the ninth turn today reading Dr Seuss’ “One Foot Two Foot”, wrapping gifts, planning parties, going over board with decorations and party favors, changing a wet accident for the fifth time today, undressing muddy children at the back door, mopping the mud off the floor from the one that ran past, telling the youngest not to eat that off the floor, telling the oldest that we just told the youngest not to eat that and that means them too, telling them all that we only have two hands and to not ask again, finding the letter M, playing tickle monster, encouraging me while I try to convince my husband that his aging and saggy body is still as hot as it was at 25, convincing me that when he says I’m as hot as I was at 25 he’s clearly just stating the obvious, why are all the cups and forks in the laundry hamper?, reminding me to calm down when the grouchy old man at the grocery store runs into my handicapped child with his cart because they weren’t getting out of his way fast enough, singing the veggie tales theme song, this is not a playroom, making sure all the kids get the right medication at the right time and it all gets recorded properly, making sure my husband and I get our blood pressure medication, knowing when my husband is right but making sure he doesn’t know I’m ready to admit it, getting everybody’s socks in the right drawer, keeping clean towels and toilet paper in the bathrooms (and yes; making sure the paper rolls the right way), polishing off that box of wine on Friday night after the rest of the house is asleep and the lunch dishes still aren’t washed, vacuuming under the cushions, finding out which side of the window those finger prints are on, finding my phone, finding my keys, finding the $100 universal remote that was supposed to operate everything seamlessly, finding a way to get that darn veggie tales theme song out of my head. And maybe, just maybe if we get time off for good behavior. We could get someone to watch the kids while the husband and I go out for a quiet grown-up night, with mood lighting and wine glasses. A romantic evening just for two; playing footsie below the table and holding hands above the table with our eyes locked in that loving gaze that only two people, who have been together as long20as we, could have. But, probably still talking about what we think the kids might want to do next week.

So, if you’ve read this far and still have even an inkling of interest we’re offering $9.00 an hour for afternoon and weekend help, overnight respite care is negotiable and all the “Gold Fish” crackers you can wrestle from the kids.

2) part time babysitter NEEDED (D.C.)
I am a single mother of 4 in need of a part time baby sitter. The primary hours would be Tues/Weds evenings from 4-8pm with an occasional Sat/Sun morning. Weekends the kids are usually with their dad, but sometimes he has a work committment. The possibilty for other occasional hours for times I want to go out, not work, may be in the near future. Two of my children are older and do alot of the care for the younger 2, but I need someone a little bit older/more responsible to be here just in case. So, this could be the perfect job for an older highschool student or college student. My rates are on the lower side, but it does include a free meal whenever you stay with them. PLEASE have references!!!!! And the sooner you can start the better! smoke/pet free home/close to Landmark Mall.

3) Once a weekend Baby Sitter and Occasional All-Day Baby Sitter (D.C.)
We have a 7-week-old baby, she was premature, so she's very small. The sitter would need to be comfortable and have experience with smaller babies, as of now she's barely 7 lbs. We are looking for someone for a date night, once a week and occasionally giving the mom a break for a full day during the week. Our baby is very relaxed and just loves being cuddled. The evenings are easy, just feeding her once and putting her back to bed. We are looking for someone as soon as possible! Must be a non-smoker and comfortable with two dogs. One is a golden retriever and the other is a Jack Russell mix (he will be put away during work as he is very hyper). References are required, and could start tomorrow night if desired!

19) R U A stay-at-home-mom and want to earn extra $$?? (Minneapolis)
My name is Chelsey and I am looking for day time care for my 2 1/2 year old son Logan. I usually work 3-4 days a week between 11am-8pm. Because of the hours, most "regular" daycares don't work for me, and I don't have anyone to pick him up earlier, it's just me. I have been using a high school girl to watch him this summer, but she wants some time off before school so I need to replace her ASAP. Ideally, a stay at home mom who wants to earn some extra money would be the best solution. I don't care if you have a license or not. I honestly don't make very good money but I could do around $20/day or so. I'm doing $10/day with the high schooler, so double seems about right. Please email me if this works for you! :) I live in Blaine off of HWY 65 and work in Brooklyn Park so Blaine/Brooklyn Park/Champlin would work best or somewhere close to that! :)

21) Childcare Needed 9am-9pm plus weekends and Holidays (Milwaukee)
I have a 2 yr old girl and I need someone who can do in-home care on Mondays and Thursdays from 9AM-9PM and every other weekend (Sat & Sun) from 9-6. I would also need every holiday as well. DO NOT RESPOND UNLESS YOU CAN MEET ALL OF MY NEEDS. My current provider's husband is being transferred out of state in 2 weeks, so I need someone asap. I live in Greenfield and work in Franklin. I am ONLY interested in someone who lives in Greenfield, Greendale, Franklin, or Oak Creek. Again, DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU CAN'T FILL THAT NEED. I hate to be so direct but I am tired of getting responses from people in Grafton!!
I am currently paying $30/day on weekends and $45/day on the weekdays.
Please respond with your experience, the number of other children you care for, where you are located and your rates. If you don't respond with all of that information I'm going to assume you can't read which means you are not intelligent enough to care for my daughter. Again, I hate to be so direct but I've gotten responses from people who only send their name and phone number. That tells me nothing other than you're too lazy to type. Please tell me there is someone intelligent enough to help me!! Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

22) Childcare needed for barely 3y/o boy (Utah)
My son just turned 3 years old this month and he is potty trained. I am going through a divorce and was hoping to get my first teaching job but didn't end up happening so I plan to substitute teach as soon as they need me (already signed up and ready to go). My son and I are living in Lehi with my aunt and uncle near Cabelas. I would prefer to have someone close to the Highland/Alpine exit off the 15 as I will likely be traveling northbound to the Jordan and Canyon school districts. I am hoping to work as much as possible subbing and have signed up in 3 school districts to ensure that happens. But there may be days I do not have work. I need someone who will work with me and not charge me if for some reason I don't have work one day (let's hope that doesn't happen).
I can pay $2 per hour. I anticipate the hours will roughly be 7 - 4PM give or take an hour or so (depends on the school I have to go to and what time they start and end). I can provide lunch and snacks for my son. I do prefer someone who has experience with children and will encourage play as well as creativity and learning. It would also be nice if there was at least one other child for my son to play with. I know that's a lot of information for an ad but I want to lay it all out. If it sounds like something that would work for you please contact email me with information about you, your home or facility (especially where you are located), your family and what your expectations are. Thanks, Christina

27) NEEDING NANNY (Norfolk)
Hey how are you? We are a military couple that needs an in-home care provider (nanny) for two and sometimes three kids on a daily schedule. The type of person we are looking for is a good provider for the children and also has a flexible schedule. I (male) work 12 hours shifts from 6:00 a.m. -6:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. -6:00 a.m. depending on my schedule. She works a civilian job from 10:00 a.m. - about 7:00 p.m. Days that I have off I watch the children myself and the same for her. We just need a regular in-home sitter so that we don't have to rush across town to make sure that we drop them off and get to work on time. We are a warm and caring family that are very particular about who watches are children, which is another reason why we would prefer a in-house provider that can also become more of a friend than a worker to us. We are flexible with pay either by day or hour and we can set up how you choose to be paid. We are looking to pay from $5-$15 depending on your qualifications. We are wanting someone that has a passion for this more then it being a job or pay check. We are both 23 years old and (she) has two girls, ages 4 and 5, I have a 2 1/2-year-old son. They are used to being active and are smart for their age. The 2-year-old is almost fully potty trained, just has to be reminded to go to the toilet but most part will come tell you. We are looking for someone with their own transportation and able to work anytime of the day of any day but mostly between 9:00 a.m. - 6:15 p.m. on week days. We also are looking for a female between the ages of 18 to 30 years old, so that you can keep up with them. We are an AA family but don't mind any race if you don't. If there is anything more or your interested then feel free to contact us. Can't wait for your reply. Thanks!

31) Childcare Needed (Utah)
We recently moved to Eagle Mountain from Salt Lake County. Long story short, the elementary school boundaries have changed, and I need someone to watch my children who can transport my 5 year old boy to his kindergarten classes at Hidden Hollow Elementary school.
Right now, we are paying $1.50/hour per child for my 5 year old and 3 year old from 6:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. care. I'd like to stay around this price because I'm a single mother, but if necessary, we can possibly negotiate this. If this is something you can do, please let me as soon as possible, since kindergarten starts on August 27th, and we need to find care before then. Please call at (801) 931-**** or e-mail (if you do call, and I don't answer, please leave a message because I'm probably at work).

*Response from CL reader:

33) RE: Seeking cheap day care (Reno)
You may seriously want to consider staying home. NO ONE is going to watch an infant for $45 a week, especially for 9 hours a day. If you can only afford $45 a week, you seriously need to stay at home. An infant spot can cost anywhere from $600-$800 a month. Even someone with a minimum wage job can afford more than $45 a week. If you can afford to work 45 hours a week, then you can afford more than $45 a week!
