17) Childcare Needed (Colorado Springs)
Hi I am looking for someone to watch my two children who are 7 & 8 years old. I am going to be starting a new part time job and the schedule will be Sat. & Sun. from 5:30 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. and Mondays from 2:30 - 10:30 p.m.. They don't get out of school until 2:30 so they would need to be picked from there, until school is out and then it will be from 1:30 -10:30 on Mondays. I can't afford more than $150 a month for both of them. I am a single mom and I can't afford more than that or it just wouldn't be worth going back to work for any more money than that. If you are interested and this would work out for you please send me an e-mail. It would be at my home, so it is easier for them.

18) 6mo little girl - Needing a babysitter (Colorado Springs)
Hey! My name is Chelsea. My little girl Makenna will be 6 months May 3rd & let me tell you, they grow up way to fast! I've been interviewing with the local prision for a position to be working in the dietary department and am looking for reasonable child care. Plus, my work schedule will vary. They did state I would never work before 6 am and after 8 pm which my husband will be available around 5 or 530. I'm hesitant about day cares because of all the illnesses going around and it's very costly. We also just moved here outside of gate 3 (from Ft. Carson) in January from Kentucky. My husband works 530a.m.-5p.m. typically, he's in the Army so he doesn't have a "set" schedule either. I have a neighbor that offered to watch Makenna while I work until my husband gets off and charge me $90 a week. I am looking for someone that could do it for less..My husband is only an E-2 so our income isn't that high. Just figured I would ask! Thanks =) -Chelsea

21) Summer babysitter wanted (Dallas)
I am looking for a sitter to watch my three smaller children at home during the summer. They are 10,6, and 4. Must be at least 18 and have references and your own transportation. The dates would be from the second week of June to the middle of August before school starts. I do ask for someone who doesn't do drugs or party too hard. I am looking for a local sitter in Denton. I will not be able to drop them off since I commute to Irving to work. I am still working on my budget, so please email me how much you would charge. I am hoping to pay $200 plus I will provide all meals and snacks for you as well as the children. That includes drinks such as cokes, which are very expensive. You will not need to have to make the kids do chores. Nor will you have to do any dishes or laundry. I will handle all the house keeping when I get home. I do have two very friendly dogs, so you must be ok with dogs as well. I will make sure they are fed and that meals are prepared in advance to be heated up. I can also give you extra groceries if you need it, since I am a thrifty shopper. The days would be Tuesday-Friday from 7:30AM - 6:00 PM at the latest. Please email me if interested.

22) $5/hr for special needs child
Looking for a special person who would like to spend time with an active 3 year old-only child. I just need some time to do errands or relax or work out (1 time a week; possibly every other week). My sweet boy has trouble "playing" by himself, so we would like you to help him with imaginative play. It would also be great if you played gross-motor games on nice days outside as well as fine motor when it is a rainy day. He doesn't like to sit and color, so a new face may be able to "encourage" this. I am looking for someone that is working towards a OT or PT degree, with a background with children who have "impulsive" tendencies.

23) Occasional overnight childcare needed (Norfolk)
Hi! My name is Alaina. I have a 1 year old son named Jack. My husband is currently on deployment but I still like to have my "girl's night out" every now and again. For the most part I'm looking for someone to come to my house and sit on the couch at night while my son is asleep, just incase he wakes up. You may or may not need to get up with him in the morning and feed him breakfast. He's a sweet boy, very smart and well behaved. I'm looking to pay 20$ for late night and 30-40$ overnight, depending on what time I'm back the next day. It's an easy gig, I have tons of movies and things to do to keep you busy while my son is asleep. Or you're more than welcome to go to sleep yourself, just turn the baby monitor on. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please call me to set up an interview. 757-639-**** Thank you! Have a great day :)

How would you like a free vacation to Florida? This would be perfect for single mom's or someone looking to get away for the summer: let's talk if you are interested, but basically I'm looking for live in child care for about 6 - 8 weeks from the end of June until the second week of August- you can come down from Memorial Day until ?? - you get to use a car, your own room, and food plus get to visit Disney, Sea World and the beach, and you get weekends off to explore on your own, or hang out with us as we visit the coast and key west.

There is a pool and you can lounge around the pool all day, fix sandwiches and snax as needed: there is a park across the street where you can turn loose the kids- they are a girl (9) and a boy (7).

We can talk about details, but like I said this could be the perfect job for a single mom looking to get away for awhile- or just someone who wants to explore a new state; Anyway let's talk- send me an email. Thanks.

26) Mother's Helper part time needed (Seattle)
I am looking for a part time helper who can come and help with my children and my household. I would like about 6 hours Thurs and Tuesday and 4 or so Wed and Friday.

I can pay $400 a month for the help. I live in Tacoma near parks and near buslines and the freeway. I would like to have some one who can stay with me long term. My children are tweens and preschool.

27) Looking for in home childcare (Norfolk)
I'm possibly looking for someone to begin watching my 2 year old son around or on May 24th. This is a long term position. Hours will be from 10 am to 9 pm or so, Mon- Fri for the first 11 weeks. My hours after that will change. (this also depends on when my husband gets home from work and whether or not he is deployed. If he is home he usually gets off of work around 430 and is back to our apartment by 5 or 6.) I will pay biweekly. At first, pay cannot and will not exceed 70 dollars a week (money is very tight for us right now.) Once I get on my feet with my job and I see you are doing well it could very well increase. If this is something you are interested in please email me so I can begin talking with you. If I think you sound like a good fit we can set up a day to meet and such! =) If I don't reply right away do not be alarmed; I am waiting on a phonecall from my prospective employer. Hope to hear from someone, thanks! :)

28) Nanny needed ASAP! Early a.m. (Las Vegas)
Hello!
We are need of a nanny starting Monday May 3rd.
The position starts at 4:30 am here at our home, care does not start until the children wake up, around 7 am or so.
We have 3 children, but you mainly care for 1 (5 month old) all day.
Our 10 year old needs to be dropped off at 8:30 am, then we have a 3 year old that needs to be dropped off at preschool thereafter. The preschool is on Vegas Drive and Rampart in Summerlin also.
Then, we have a 5 month old that requires care until my husband or I come home (around 4 to 5 pm.)
The 10 year old walks home and the 3 year old can be picked up by myself, or you, whichever you prefer.

Daily care for our 5 month old would include cloth diapering (not as bad as you think), feeding, no bathing (unless you absolutely have to) and walks or outside play every other day or when it's comfortable.
Please don't run errands all day or have anyone over. (We had a bad experience with a gal that had her boyfriend over all the time.)
Light housekeeping and some food preparation is required.
The children are on a schedule so it's not hard to figure out what to do with them while they are getting ready.
I don't require degrees or certifications, although CPR/First Aid would be nice, but to be honest, being caring, kind and having a lot of common sense is what we need.
Pay is negotiable and starts at $220 paid weekly depending on experience (This is a Monday to Friday position.) For the first few months I am going to have some family around in May and June, so there's a bit of help around.
I will conduct a background check and reference check.
If this sounds like a fit for you, please e-mail me immediately so we can meet with you!
Lauren :-)

29) Reliable Nanny needed (Wisconsin)
Large ex-military family looking for a nanny from the hours of 7:15 a.m. til 5:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. My husband and I have two boys; a 2-year-old who will be 3 in July, and a 16-month-old. We have recently completed our military career and have returned to Wisconsin from several states in several years.

We are currently in transition from an apartment home in Menomonee Falls to the purchase of a single family home which will be in the Browndeer area of Wisconsin with a closing date of early to mid-May.

The highest hourly wage we can offer at this time is $5.50 for both boys not individually. It would be 50 hours per week on a constant basis. We love our boys dearly and we are looking for an individual we can trust to teach and care for our boys. An individual whom is extremely reliable as we are starting our new careers. Of course with both parents starting new careers at the same time we expect little to no time off and would have to have someone punctual and reliable.

We are extremely fair individuals and as we receive increases in pay and can wrap our heads around our new mortgage we will increase the wage of our nanny accordingly. This person will not be an employee but an extended part of our family as we are entrusting them with our most beloved possession.

Our boys are used to having a stay at home mom which is why we would prefer someone coming to us instead of taking them to a day care facility. With the change of traveling, to actually staying put, it is a huge change for us. We are so excited to be planted somewhere permanently. With the changes of the move and exit from military life, it will be a hectic transition month. It will be a challenge, and we are looking for someone to accept it.

30) Weekend Daycare (Madison)
Although I have wonderful weekday daycare, I am in search of an occasional sitter/daycare on the weekends. This is rare, but I sometimes work everyother weekend or once a month. I have to be at work on Park St at 615am and done at 7pm. If you are interested please email jenmic32@****. I am not seeking a nanny or an over priced sitter. I currently pay $30 per day.
Thank you, Jennifer

* Response from CL readers:

31) RE: weekend daycare... $30 for 11 hours? LOL (Madison)
I understand that single moms have a challenge to pay for childcare, yet do you really think ANYONE would want to care for your child for that little amount? To get up and be at your house that early, spend 11 hours with your child and lose their weekend for under $3.00 an hour? You say you don't want an overpriced sitter, yet you will pay so little for a sitter? Have fun checking out the drug addicts references!!

32) LOL - Do your Math (Madison)
No wonder you are so offended. You can't add. You would be even more so if you could. Maybe you should get off the crack.

* OP's reply to angry CL readers:

33) RE: weekend sitter police (Madison)
I currently have 3 fantastic people willing to provide care for this price, first of all. I am looking for a back up. Second, I don't expect to only pay $30 per day, just giving an idea of where I am at instead of wasting the time of those asking for 10-15 per hour. Third, I was a provider for the last year and half and it is NOT unreasonable for someone uncertified to provide care for this rate. Forth, I will take my child to someone's home that is appropriate, as I already do. Fifth, if you aren't interested, don't do it. GET A LIFE!!! And for your info, I already have 3 offers.
