Feature:
1) Nanny needed NOW (Las Vegas)
I need a nanny for my twin girls. They are 5 years old and not in school. They were in daycare but because of their behavior problems they got kicked out. I pay 400 a week, exactly what I was paying in day care. I do spank them and I ask the nanny do the same. e-mail me if interested edecker510@**** we are a few minutes from the strip.

CREEPY! I think I saw the featured ad in the Los Angeles Craigslist, too! I almost sent it in, but then I got sidetracked.

feature ad is sad. :( said...

eww. no thank you: I don't want a job where I am required to hit a child. :(

how depressing.

#3- I wish I lived in DC. I'd take $100.00/week to vent my frustrations on that man's back side.

#1- Very sad. The kids are out of control, and the mother isn't helping by spanking them. Sounds like the family needs Supernanny more than anyone they are going to find on CL.

Why do so many stay at home moms think they need childcare? If they can't take care of their kids why did they have them? Sure, a mom has to get out once in a while. A break is always good so you don't go crazy, but it seems like some moms are looking to pay someone minimally to do all the dirty work because their lazy. I bet a husband who works long hours appreciates having to pay for childcare when his wife doesn't even work. Lord!

These mealy mouthed madams with their stretched out chonches play victim of their horrible children and whine and cry to their wage earners every night. He wants to come home. He wants peace. He wants sex. These whores blackmail these meager men in to authorizing substandard pay for full time nanny care. The nasty mommies have tricked their well intentioned husbands in to believing it is impossible to raise children. Yet, how many women work full time and take care of their children? How many women get up at 5 in the morning and get their kids ready and drop them at daycare?

Crabby Patty said...

I agree. I stay at home with my kids but I take care of everything without the help of a nanny or a "mother's helper". I don't need someone to come clean and play with my kids...especially when I am here for krikey sake. I think the only time a mother's helper is actually needed is if a mother who stays at home has a severe medical problem that could make her unable to take care of her kids alone. But lazy couch ass syndrome doesn't count.

My thing is if you have raised uncontrollable kids you have dug your hole. No one should have to pick up the pieces and fix things because you were a lousy parent who never used any type of discipline.

And to the woman who wanted someone to work for free or very little just to get the experience? WOW! DOUBLE WOW!

3. Anyone with their life remotely together wouldn't answer to that ad...

34. I actually don't think this is crazy low. They say they're looking to put her in someone else's home. A friend of mine pays 250/wk to put her infant in a home daycare (quality, licensed, etc). Yes 190/wk is on the low side but probably not insane.

Love.the.pic! Just crazy!

My sister is 56, and she didn't have the priviledge of having a SAHM-our father divorced her mother and married my mother. As for me, my mother worked as far as I know until she died; this was mid 70's, when SAHM were everywhere, and stayed home because they wanted to be with their children, and because it was back then the American way of life.

In the 80's, my sister was a full time working mother as a nurse. She did 3/12's at one hospital and 1 8 at a another hospital. Her mother (God Bless her soul) and my BIL (brother in law) always did the childcare. This was back in the mid 80's until the mid 90's, which saw more and more women back in the workforce.

My sister in laws both were SAHM's who did EVERYTHING a mother is supposed to do. Check out this job description on a local nanny agency's website:

www.nannyconnections.com

Nanny/Mother's Helper-35 hours a week.

WTF? Can we say rich husband, lazy mother? What the hell is so "hard" for her to do that she needs a full time nanny?

Sorry for the hostility: my beloved cat died Monday....

Boston nanny said...

You know that drives me crazy too. I work full time and take on most of the household responsibilities that a Sahm should be doing plus taking my charge to activities everyday. Then after that I go home and take care of my own home.
I'm basically doing double...
My single mother worked full time, raised 3 kids and still managed to cook us dinner every night and sweep/mop the entire house everyday.
But hey they have the money to be lazy f$&@ers, so why not pay someone so you can go get your nails done. Plus the dads pay up because it means they don't have to be to involved with the children.

Fried eggs overeasy and toast :) said...

Having money is no reason to be lazy. I really think kids deserve to spend time with their parents.

If you must leave the house and need to get your kids a nanny that's one thing. Then you do what you have to do.

Getting a nanny so you can avoid your own children when you don't need to is wrong and selfish. If you don't want kids or the responsibilities they bring then keep your legs shut.

It's bad enough to pay someone to raise your kids, but most people who do really need to. Then there are people who can afford to stay home but pawn their kids off on someone else? WTF?

nanny p said...

Sorry about your beloved pussy cat missdee. Hope you feel better.

For most of these rich sahm's isn't it more of a status symbol to have kids? Especially if your kid is smarter or prettier than my kid? Kind of gives these mom's bragging rights, don't you think?

"If you don't want kids or the responsibilities they bring then keep your legs shut."

Um, excuse you? I don't want children of my own, and you're not going to tell me I have to 'keep my legs shut' just to avoid them. I'm an adult and have the right to enjoy a healthy sex life with my partner just as much as those who feel the need to breed. Thank goodness for birth control and the power of choice. If the only reason someone is raising a child is that they 'opened their legs', then that person should not be raising a child. Using a child's life as an example of 'should have known better' is horrible. I will never see the logic in that.

Eat this reads too far into things. said...

Eat this, you are reading way too far into it. What the hell? No one said you couldn't have sex. They simply said if you can't take care of kids don't have sex. Birth control is not 100% effective so if someone is too immature to have kids they shouldn't risk it. It's good you are using birth control though :)

Saltwater said...

Eat this: Haven't you ever heard that term used before "If you can't take care of kids you should keep your legs shut"? My god you took that personally? They are talking about scumbags who wouldn't be able to take care of kids. Why are you so defensive? Do you think this person was talking directly to you? Are you feeling guilty about something?

Eat This said...

Clearly that's not what I thought. I just said that the whole idea behind saying 'if you don't want kids, keep your legs closed, in other words don't have sex' is ridiculous. Sorry, some of us out here have sex with NO notion of having children. Heaven forbid! Lol.

So, yeah, I guess I'll just keep not getting pregnant and keep spreading. Shouldn't be such a big deal, so long as it's not with your husband. I mean, you never know, right? ;)

Creamery Butter said...

Eat this, the world doesn't revolve around you. Not everyone who comments is talking to you personally.

Eat This said...

I never said anything like that at all, Creamery Butt. But I can certainly have an opinion made about a generalization. LOTS of people do. Welcome to the world, you must be new to it.

And while I know the world certainly does not revolve around me, thanks for making it feel that way for just a moment. :) I mean that.

Creamery Butter said...

Eat this, I was referring to people who have kids that they won't or can't take care of...not random weirdos who think posts are always secretly about them.

Eat This said...

You're right. Sorry I was so harsh. I have PMS, which is giving me bad diarrhea and a major case of the bloat.

Eat This said...

Eat This wanna be, that was super-clever!

I'm on the depo shot, I don't want children. I don't get PMS. The diarrhea, well, we'll see how the rest of the evening goes and I'll report back! Hahaha.

Creamy Butt, I already told you I don't think every post is about me. Read again. And honestly...you're pretty bad at proving your own point.

Eat This said...

I'm sorry. I meant to add that I don't know why you are picking on me just because I am white.

Eat This said...

Eat This wanna-be...white people don't get picked on.

Macaroni said...

Not wanting children does not mean it's because you are too immature to take care of them. People who don't want to be parents can be day car workers, nannies, teachers, pediatricians, family members who love children in their families. It has nothing to do with maturity level. It has everything to do with not wanting to be a parent. So many of you are attacking people who have very good points, and you're the ones acting immaturely just because you aren't understanding what he or she is getting at. Grow up before you start judging other people for being immature. There are many of you who show why there are more people who should have opted not to raise children.

Macaroni said...

Whoops, meant day care workers. What's a day car? Lol.

And to whoever runs this site, you don't want 'anonymous' comments, but does that really matter when just anyone can use the same name as someone else and make it look like they're posting as that person? That doesn't seem to serve anyone well, and it's very confusing.
