M-F 8am-6pm Care for 2 boys in my Home $300 a wk. (Bayridge, Brooklyn)
Greetings, I am looking for someone to care for my boys at the aforementioned days and, times in my home. I want someone with experience and, you must fill out an 1099 form for the IRS. You must have ID of some form. You have to keep my house clean from the boys mess's. I dont want to come home to to a trash bin. Everyone that works for me is temporary I will never hire someone with a gurantee. This is because of my past experience with women who did nothing as I said then had the nerve to ask why I didnt give them another weeks schedule. I don't fire you! I just never have you back : ). Reply if interested with pertinent info about yourself. Thanks JuJu

No job stablity in the first ad. She sounds scary to work for! The next one, don't people know that using all caps is like shouting? It's like she's yelling, "I'm an idiot!" And she doesn't ask for references or nothing.
Omg, the willowbrook one, Haha! $15? For 3 hrs. of work? It would cost that much in gas just to come to her house!!....LMFAO!
Some of these people, you wonder why they were allowed to have kids!
The last one looks like she's ok with just hiring somebody right off the street, right now! Crazy!!
These are great finds!
OMG! Yeah, I'll send you my address crazy lady bc you're yelling at me to do it!
We always have crazy low salary ads on our craigslist (Rochester, NY) and I'm just like...and you wonder why you are only able to hire that 90 year old??
What was up with the "we don't want someone we will have to prosecute in a court of law?"
I'm glad you found other ones, I was beginning to feel like it was just Seattle that was having these posts.
The first one doesn't fire you, she just never invites you back. Yeah, I can see the difference. And $200 a week for full-time care. That's less than $1/ hour. Idiots.
I can't believe people like this are allowed to breed. Ugh.
fisherman's wife,
How is 200 dollars for a full week less than 1 dollar an hour?
Wow! It constantly amazes me that people neve learned to write eloquently or with a buisness-like perspective for that matter-- I mean, sometimes I have typos, but for something buisness related?? Heck no! Use proper grammer, english, and manners! Geez :). And if they already don't trust sitters... NO GOOD! Why hire them?
Anyhow, just a thought :)
i was trying to figure out the gripe with the bronx ad... all caps i guess? and THAT causes the ad to end up on ISYN? @@. stupid. maybe the person just isn't internet savy. big deal.

Most of the Ads received for CL-WTF # 5 were sent in several times by different posters.
The ALL CAPS ad (10466) won their spot because Location seemed more important than asking for references or any other pertinent information. The caps were secondary.
No pay ...
Could you please give me the URL for that Ad (and your moniker if you would like the credit for it) -
That is a really super one!
Thank you! :)
Wait just a second!
If they are expecting the nanny to watch the 2.5 year old "during work hours, some weekend and evening hours", meaning the nanny probably could not get another job outside of this one, where do they expect her to get the money to pay for that "$200-400 a month rent"??? It would wind up costing her money to work there! Wow. Someone needs to set all these CL posters straight and tell them they need to get realistic.
Dear potential nanny, we are excited to welcome you into our home, and we are E$SPECIALLY delighted to hear that you work nights. The caveat that you will be unavailable due to long shifts Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at work is fine with us.
We are also thrilled to hear that you have a constant stream of energy, because we were a little concerned about you working nights and then staying awake during the day.
Two quick questions please. We got a call from a man named George about installing a "practice pole" in your appartment, and we have so far been unable to contact your references, John, Bob, and Tom. We'll clear all that up once you've moved in.
Again, welcome to the family. We hope we'll be able to come and see one of your "performance art pieces" soon, although we didn't have much luck locating the theater. Is the correct name Pink Pony, or did we misunderstand?
we would be willing to shave a little extra off the rent if you would consider offering our toddler and her friends dance lessons. The neighborhood moms would LOVE that!
I would LOVE to know of anyone ever contacts these kinds of ppl and ask, "Are you on CRACK? I'm going to pay YOU to live be a live-in nanny to your kids????"
Ah, to be a fly on some of these walls.....
bad at math-- OMG! I can't believe I typed that! I claim a lack of sleep and a husband halfway through a fishing trip... ugh, now I'm embarrassed. (I have a teaching certificate in math...)
Anyways, it's better than $1/ hour, but not much, roughly $5.70, by my calcuations. :)

More like mentally challenged MOTHER! $10 an hour to be on call all the time with no designated hours. Who would do this?
You have to get a license in order to drive, cut hair, even to fish. How is it that some of these people are allowed to reproduce? Great post, chick!
Sorry about typo. MB
Just one more thing, if that mom would ocnsider doing it then why isn't she a stay at home, Mom?

I will assume you are the poster of the 1st CL Ad, and then the follow-up?
I am pulling both comments for the next CL-WTF Feature.
Thank you!
O.K. but now the comments on the ad don't make sense since you moved the ad.
Sorry, MB. I was just trying to feature your Ad and figured everyone would know that it went onto the front of the Blog.
hi i responded on the CL - WTF (# 5 in a Series)add as soonest i saw it few days ago .. here is respond
If you dont like it then don't do it. Also $10 - $12 for what? Some
secretarys at law firms start at that. Stupid and trying to get a cash cow
for mindless babysitting. Get a life! LOSER
By the way those little home health aides get minimum wage $7.15 - $8 and
they clean adult ass. Try that!!!
coxie,
your moniker sounds like a swear-word.
Just saying.
