7) Babysitter needed (Norfolk)
For three familys must be willing to work any hours. One family is a single mom who works 8 am to 8 pm or 3 pm to 3 am and works 6 days a week and it changes weekly. One is 8 am to around 5 pm, Monday to Thursday only. And the last family is 4 pm to 10 pm, Monday to Friday and that will change to days when her schooling is over. So you won't have all 4 of the kids at the same time very often. There is a 7 year old that is in school and a 3 year old that is very loveable and two 2 year olds, one that talks and love to ask why and the other won't talk unless you ask him too.

I would love to talk to a few people about the job more in person it sounds like a lot of work but it is really not they all are just let me play kids. The job will start with in a month with me and then full time as of may 15 or so. Please email me your history with kids and a few people that I can call and talk to about who you are. Thanks again for reading.

17) Part-time sitter/nanny needed, 1-3 days per wk, 9am-4pm or so (N.C.)
Hi! I have an almost 3 year old and need a sitter as my current is return to work full-time.

I work nights and need assistance 1-3 days per week (varying days), from about 9am-4pm (flexible) so I can sleep. =)

I'd prefer to bring my son to your home, if possible.

Occasionally my oldest son (almost 8) will need childcare as well; he is usually at school but tracks out for 3-4 weeks every 3 months. He's actually a great helper and I've been told it's easier watching the other kids when he's there!

I can work with your schedule as I can request my work schedule based on your needs.

I realize I lucked out with my current sitter who charges just $25 a day, but that's what I was able to afford. We worked that out as I pack lunch and most snacks as well as diapers, etc., and she watched kids in her home (no traveling costs) so she had little "overhead" cost. I'd be willing/able to go up a little bit, but I'll be honest - I just can't afford what most sitters are now charging. Seriously - I might as well just stay home myself!! I could negotiate, but there's no way I can afford $50-75 a day like some here are charging. That's just crazy. Please contact me if you think you'd be able to help out. Thanks! Jen

26) Duel Military Family Looking for FT Childcare (Colorado)
Hi,
My name is Crystal and I am looking for a new Full Time care provider for my 3 year old daughter. Her current full time provider will no longer be available as of the 11th. I am looking for someone that isnt completely out of my way to work. I would prefer someone who watches other children her age or has children of their own her age. She needs to learn how to play with children her own age as we are quickly getting to school age. I also would really love someone who will be able to work on Numbers, Letters, shapes, colors, etc, and would provide all meals and snacks.

A lil bit about my daughter: She is a typical 3 year old. She has her good days and her bad days just like any other kid. She is potty trained. She is the kind of child who needs a good structured day and needs to be actively engaged. She does still nap usually around 1 or so. She is not a picky eater and will pretty much eat anything. I do not allow her to have Kool-Aid or candy. (i only give her candy has rewards) When she is seperated from me for an extended period of time i.e. field exercises, she will get destructive. however that shouldnt be a problem anymore as I am in the process of getting out.

A lil bit about us: Like I said we are a dual military family, for now. But please dont think that that means we have a lot of money and can afford to pay you more. My husband currently gives about 40% of his check to his ex-wife (yes i know he got screwed in that deal) and I am still trying to recover from the $50,000 that my ex husband ran up in debt in my name. So as you can tell the budget is a lil tight. We are currently paying her babysitter $75/week. If we are off, we keep her home and will still pay $75/week.

I will need someone from the hours of 0530-1800. I hardly ever work this late but being in the military you never know. There also maybe times that we would need to drop her off a lil earlier but that RARELY happens. In the last year there has only been 2 days where we both have needed to be in early.

If you are interested: Please email me at crystal.dimare@**** with your rate and a lil bit about you! thanks and i look forward to hearing from you!
