Feature:
1) Unique family seeks open-minded nanny (Boston)
Hello :) We are currently seeking a nanny for our three children. We have a 4 year old daughter, a 6 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. We would be looking for someone who is flexible during the week and who can offer an occassional weekend (though this would be very rare). Even better if you are looking for a live-in position, but not neccesary. Our family is very unique so we would need you to be very open-minded. For starters, we are naturists. If you do not know what that is, please google it before contacting us. We would be looking to pay around $25 per hour. Please contact us if you are interested and include information about yourself and your experience as well as a contact number so we can call you to set up an appointment. Thank you!

2) Nanny Wanted (D.C.)
So, I've been feeling really lazy lately. I don't want to do most of my stuff alone, so I thought of the best way to get it out of the way! Getting a nanny! Unfortunately, I cannot pay at the moment since I am jobless and I am living at my parents house. Oh, and I'm 17. Turning 18 soon. But, if/when I do get a job, I'll be sure to make pay possible. Maybe. So yeah, if you're a person who is willing to take care of me for free, please send me an e-mail. Would be great having some help around the house. Thanks :)

This is NOT a summer position only! if you are starting/going back to high school in august DO NOT RESPOND!! Posted job before but had a lot of no shows for interviews and a lot of high school students respond. I work all year thus need a sitter all year. must be available until 9am.

13) We are looking for a LIVE-IN mother's helper (Nashville)
We are currently looking for a LIVE-IN Mother's Helper. This position is a LIVE-IN ONLY position. It is an exchange position, not a paid position. In exchange for part-time help during the week days, we will provide a private bedroom, furnished or not, w/cable and internet access, and all meals/food are provided. We will also offer a new mobile phone with GPS, Internet, TV, and unlimited calling, text, picture mail plan that we pay for as long as you are with our family.
We are a fun-loving, close knit Christian family that loves to travel and play outside whenever the weather permits.
I am very flexible and am a stay at home mom, but I am a single mom of four children, (dad visits about 6 times a year from CA). I only need assistance with our 2 year old identical twin daughters, as my sons are 9 and 10 yrs old and don't require any childcare. I need another set of hands off and on throughout the day. Sometimes for outings to park, pool, play centers, (I need another adult to help with the twins). Nights and weekends would always be free. Weekly hours would be 8am to noon, 7am to noon when school starts back, and from whenever the girls wake up, (they usually nap from noon until 3 or 4 each day), from when they wake up until dinner is over and cleaned up. Monday -Friday from noon until 3 or 4 would typically be free, (some days, I just need an adult here while they are napping so that I can run errands, etc).
The primary responsibilites would be someone helping me maintain and keep our home clean, laundry done, dishes done and kitchen kept clean, vaccumming, weekly cleaning, (such as bathrooms, dusting, etc.)
The person we are looking for is a non-smoking, Christian woman that is patient, nurturing, responsible, reliable, motivated, organized, self-starter that has previous childcare experience. We are silly and fun and would like someone in our home that also has a fun and optimistic outlook.
Travel with our family with all expenses paid is an option, but not a requirement. Please do not inquire about this position, if you have children of your own that still live at home. We have a large home with lots of room, but only one bedroom available.
I am open to college students and those with another job and am willing to be flexible to work around those things during the week as long as we can figure out a schedule that makes sense.
If this position sounds of interest, please call my mobile at 919-332-****. Thank you.

15) Male seeking family in need of big brother situation 4 your son (Nashville)
Today there are so many boys that are without a father or a male role model in their lives. I grew up in a home with such a great father and I know the importance of having that support and example. I am looking to work with one or even two families that would like to have their child be around someone that could really talk to them and just have a good time at the basket ball court, swimming, ChuckECheese, zoo and so on. I have worked with children for years and I know that this isn't considered the norm but I am great with children and would love to be a big brother to your child. I am even considering opening a summer program for boys with out father role models to build self esteem and show them a good examples. Thanks

* Response from CL readers:
16) RE: Male seeking family in need of big brother situation 4 your son (Creepyville) (Nashville)
Seriously? I cannot believe this posting! Any normal adult with good intentions knows very well that there are several organizations out there that are in need of healthy adult volunteers to be a positive influence in the lives of children and teens.
And they do full screening and background checks! I was shocked to see that no one responded to this and I hope that is because it is a "no brainer" that no one should contact this guy.
Big Brothers / Big Sisters is available and probably dying for qualified volunteers. Also, any agency that works with foster children not only looks for foster parents but other adults to provide help in additional areas. If this "gentleman" is serious about wanting to be a positive influence to young boys without a positive male figure in their life, he has plenty of resources to go to. Perhaps he is not up for a screening and background check?

17) RE: Male seeking family in need of a big brother situation 4 your son (Judgementalville) (Nashville)
SERIOUSLY! okay, I know this is NONE of my buisness, as much as it is NONE of yours. Maybe the guy REALLY is just trying to be a nice guy, and help a family out. I cant stand all of you judgmental people! grow up and leave the man alone! If someone feels that this guy is legit, then let THEM deal with it. I didnt know Craigslist had "patrol." geez, get off your high horse and leave people alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

18) RE: Male seeking family in need of a big brother situation 4 your son (Idiotville!!!) (Nashville)
To the original RE poster,
YOUR A FREAKING MORON! Seriously?....I'm almost lost for words. I am a SAHM and childcare provider and see NOTHING wrong with a male wanting to be a good role model for a young boy/teen. I think it's OUTSTANDING actually! Also, where did he say he was doing it for FREE? Um, he didn't! You tell him to go 'Volunteer" when this guy is most likely trying to earn a HONEST LIVING. YEAH OK! You quit your job and go volunteer. Okayyyy didn't think so! So I'm just wondering but why do you think just because he is a male that he can't take care of a kid? My husband is a male and he can take care of our son just fine. Just because someone may not be a parent doesn't mean they can't take care of a kid and just because of someones gender also doesn't disqualify them as being good childcare providers. If I was a single mother with a pre-teen boy then I would definately hire someone (Given they where checked out first and stuff) to be a role model and friend and to teach him 'boy' stuff!
People like you really piss me off. It's your ignorance that helps to make the world like it is.

19) RE: Male seeking family in need of a big brother situation 4 your son (Cautionville) (Nashville)
In a day and age when children turn up missing, dead, held captive and severely abused ALL THE TIME, I will call out a suspicious posting ALL DAY LONG.
Maybe if some people didn't work so hard on "minding their own business" or being "politically correct" all the time some parents out there would still be able to hug their children. Maybe we wouldn't hear stories such as the one of Jaycee Dugard, held captive for 18 years in a RESIDENTIAL neighborhood.
I'm not saying this person is unhealthy, but it is better to be cautious and require a full screening and background check for anyone that will spend time with your children. If some healthy adult is insulted, so be it. If just one child is spared abuse, injury or death and one parent is spared a terrible loss, it is well worth insulting someone.
And frankly, any intelligent individual would expect parents to be suspicious of such a posting and would not be insulted at all.
Shame on you and anyone else that tries to belittle people for looking out for the safety of innocent children in their community, whether it be real or virtual, we all must be vigilant. After all, we live in a world where our neighbors don't look out for each other anymore. Everyone is too busy trying to survive and pay their bills. I guess if someone takes the time to look out for their fellow man, woman or child, they also risk being ostracized by people like you.

26) Babysitter Needed (Denver)
PLEASE read this ad carefully and completely before responding.
I have 3 children. Two girls, 4 1/2 yrs and 3 yrs old and a 6 month old boy. They are good kids but they are a handful. All I require from you is that you feed them, change the baby, play with them, and make sure they don't get hurt. Very, very light housekeeping. You must have a car that can accomidate 3 car seats. My 4 1/2 year old has to be taken to and/or picked up from preschool on certain days which means you have to take all of them with you. I have a 2008 toyota camry and it can fit all three seats so I'm not needing you to have an SUV or van or something but I do expect it to be in good working condition and safe for my kids. Im not able to pay much, $30 a day for 9-10 hours. I am hoping in about 6 months or so that I will be making more money and will be able to then pay more a day.
I am wanting someone who is doing this for some extra cash and not someone who needs this position as a sole income type thing. I am needing someone who has an open schedule and is flexible with times and days. My schedule as of now is 5 days a week. Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat. Unfortunately that is subject to change but not anytime soon. You have to be reliable and punctual. If your late I'm late. There is also a strong chance I will be late getting off work because things do get hectic sometimes at work, especially the weekends. This is where the flexibility comes in. I will explain more in detail during interview.
Experience taking care of children and infants is necessary. It doesn't have to be in a professional capacity but I would like references. It can be with your own children, or siblings growing up, or nieces and nephews as long as its frequent and not just a once in a blue moon thing. I need to find someone in the next 2-3 weeks or so. Im located near Mississippi and Havana.
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU ARE NOT OK WITH PRICE OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN OPEN SCHEDULE. THANK YOU.
P.S. To all of you who will put up postings saying that i'm being unreasonable or whatever...consider this: I am a single mom of 3 who makes $9 an hour so $30 a day is about half my paycheck as it is. The other half has to go for diapers, wipes, gas, clothing, utilities, and other household items. So what are my other options?

29) Looking for childcare ASAP (Arkansas)
I am looking for childcare ASAP. My last sitter pulled out last minute. If you think your going to screw me over than don't even reply. Not trying to be rude but I need someone reliable. I have a 1 year old little girl. I currently work part time and need childcare for her when I am working. My hours range from 10am to 9pm Monday thru Sunday. I always work Saturday and Sunday. Saturday could be any shift and Sunday would only be from 12-6. So I need someone who can do this days and nights. I will always give my schedule at least a week in advance. My daughter has always been good for her sitter and she can be fun. I need someone with patience and someone who is dependable and loves children and has experience with them. I want someone who either has kids or has watched them before. I can't afford alot as I am working only part time currently. I was paying $10 a day for a full day before and I would like to keep that about the same. I usually work from 3 - 4 days a week. I also want someone that has a smoke free home. I dont want my daughter around that. If interested please email me at spencer06@**** or you can call me at 531-****. Also let me know what you provide.

30) Need a reliable sitter (Norfolk)
I recently withdrew my 2 youngins from daycare, it was too much to pay. I need someone 5 days a week. Probably in my home because all of their stuff is here but I'm not set on it. I need help while I look for a job, then once I got one I'd let you know the new schedule. I'd also like someone who wouldn't keep them in the house all day, they hate that. One of my kids does have a serious medical condition, but it wouldn't effect your care for them at all. All I'd ask is that you take CPR training (just in case), which we can do together because I need to brush up on it too. It's really no big deal in the day-to-day scheme of things, but I do want to put it out there so you know, and if you don't think you can handle it then neither of us have to waste our time. You must be a non-smoker.
If you're interested, and serious, please email me with your information and how much you charge. I live in Newport News, near the mall. The most I can pay is $100 a week. I mean that, don't email me asking for more.
PS- They went to a Christian daycare, and I'd like to keep them in that same environment

Ideal candidates can make at least a one-year commitment. Candidates should meet all of the following criteria:

COMPENSATION:
We have worked out a financial plan with our past nanny that worked with our budget, but was also a fair compensation to her. We usually paid a flat rate each month (half in the beginning of the month & the remaining during the middle or towards the end of the month) that worked out to be about $8-$9 dollars per hour. Our nanny would receive this flat rate regardless of her hours. For example if we came home early from work, we stayed home due to our daughter being sick or if we were gone on vacation our nanny would still get the flat rate that we agreed upon. So many months her wage worked out to be about $10/hour or more.

I am working a small budget and can offer $35.00 per day. I can provide food and snacks as well. please email any responses. Thank you

33) NEEDED: Part Time Childcare (Chicago)
Hello! Here is what I NEED condensed into one (run on) sentence.
"A reliable, flexible, caring and mentally sane individual living within 3 miles of my home with a high desire to provide affordable in-YOUR-home childcare 1-2 days a week for my 3 year old daughter."
Here is what I DO NOT NEED in a nice bulleted list :)
1) A nanny.
2) Someone looking for $10 an hour (or $9, or $8, etc.)
3) Someone beyond 3 miles of my home (I'm near Fellows St and 3rd St in St. Charles, so perhaps you can check on Yahoo! Maps or Google maps)
4) Someone who needs me to work around their schedule.
5) Someone who cannot commit to at least 6 months (this IS NOT a summer job).
Here are a few more specifics:
I work in an industry with deadlines, so I will need someone who is flexible.
As of right now, it looks like my daughter will be going to all day preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will TYPICALLY not need you Tues. or Thurs. I will almost ALWAYS need you on Wednesday and possibly some Mondays. As for my daily schedule, I am technically supposed to work from 9am to 6pm, however, there will be plenty of days where I'll need you a bit earlier and perhaps as late as 6:30. Point being, my schedule can (and will) change and my days can be long, so the best candidate will be available every day, all day.
Additionally, I need someone who is available with fairly short notice. For example, I often find out on Thursday that I need to work Monday, so I will need someone who can pick up Mondays as needed. I usually will have more than a days notice, but occationally I won't be that lucky, so I generally need you to pick up extra days as needed with short notice.
SUMMARY OF DAYS I NEED A SITTER:
WEDNESDAYS (MOST)
MONDAYS (SOME)
TUESDAYS (FEW)
THURSDAYS (FEW)
FRIDAYS (RARELY)
If you think we can work something out, send me a message stating an intersection near your home and your rates (if you don't put this, I'll assume it's spam and I won't respond). Just to give you an idea, I'm looking to pay $30-$40 a day. If you watch other children, that's completely fine by me. I'd like to start meeting prospective candidates A.S.A.P. If we meet and things go well, I'll want to get a few references from you. Have a great day!

35) RE: Looking for reliable childcare (Nashville)
Are you f**king serious?!!? $60-$70 per WEEK FOR 2 BOYS?? BOTH IN DIAPERS? omg hon you really just need to stay home if you can't afford more than that! That's $30-$35 per WEEK for 1 kid, hell it costs me more than half that to feed one so you expect someone to watch your 2 boys for like $20 week proft for both?
WOOWWW people really think us providers have nothing better to do huh!? You must think we sit on our ass all day and don't do much huh. OMG that really pisses me off when parents want something for nothing.

36) RE: Looking for reliable childcare (Nashville)
I'm having to repost this, due to not blocking some of the language. But my opinions haven't changed. Wow, how are you going to get on here and criticize someone because they can't afford to pay a large amount of money for childcare? You don't know anything about the original poster or their situation. You shouldn't be allowed to carry the title as a "provider". Why do you think anyone would want you watching their child/children talking like that and getting pissed off over a CRAIGSLIST POST that obviously shouldn't involve you? Where in the original post did the person say that they were expecting the babysitter to pay for diapers and food? They didn't. I'm only 18 years old and I'm apparently more mature than you. Bless your heart, you should be the one getting criticized. Grow up and act like the "adult" that you claim to be.
