1) Looking for full time sitter or nanny - (Northside Racine Caledonia) Hello, We recently switched from in home care to daycare facility, and are looking for a better solution to our needs. Nora Jade is 10 months old and one of the happiest babies you will meet. She is always smiling and laughing. We simply want more care and attention placed on her. We also have Ayva who is 10 yrs old and is a remarkable help. She is certified and an aspiring babysitter. She wont need care the majority of the time with school amd extra curriculars, but when there she will prove helpful. We would need care from morning (7-7:30) to evening (6-6:30) and based on experience are willing to pay $4-6/hr. Please contact us with any questions, Derek and Cariee.

2) SAHM/Nanny Needed - (Alamo Heights) I am looking for care for my 4 year old little girl to start on June 20th. My house or yours! I work retail so my usual schedule is 9:30am to 6:30pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. My days off are Wednesday and Sunday (sometimes Wednesdays and Tuesdays flip-flop). My daughter is also gone one full week a month, so care will not be needed for that week. I really want a 'nanny' relationship vs a 'childcare facility' feel. I would prefer to stay in the $20-25 a day range. Care will generally be needed an average of 15 days a month. Please let me know if this sounds like something that would work for you! I'd love to start meeting/interviewing people tomorrow. Thanks! ETA: Must be available Saturdays. I work every Saturday, you would have the one off when she is gone. Please reply with your location. I drive from the medical center to the quarry area for work, would like someone near that drive if at your home.

I would go for something similar to #3 if there were set days for baby care and set days for office work.

I'm interested in healthcare and would love to be able to have medical office experience.


#5 I really hope the parents of the kids advertising for babysitting jobs on CL are aware of what they are doing. It's risky enough as an adult replying to those adds. I'd hate for a young girl ( or boy) to contact or be contacted by a weirdo.

#5, meet #1. Looks like a match to me.

Just My Two Cents Just Now said...

Aww...number five is so sad. I wonder what her family is going through. I hope no pedophile contacts her though. CL is full of them. ;(

The ad where the older child can help out is just a cover up for not wanting to pay for an add'l child.

The one that really takes the cake here is the essay ad!! WTF?? Who wants to write an essay out for a Nanny job? That is incredibly stupid!! And 500 words??!! I cannot stop laughing.

Anyway, here we go again...parents want the luxury of a private professional nanny for the price of a home daycare.

Idiots.

T1.)$4-6 an hour? I made that between 1992-1994!!!!! Hello, its 2012. And the older child is never a great little helper. That is such bullshit.

2.)They need someone with no life. And please don't suggest a SAHM. SAHMs have a life of their own!

3.)A nanny thtat doesn't get a break when the baby sleeps, she has to be an office aTssistant. That's so rude! An essay? WTF. Not going to happen.

4.)$50-80 a week?? WTF? Who can maintain a car for that? Gas, insurance & maintenence cost more than $50 a week. What a nut.

5.)The pedophiles will love this one. Truly sad.

I submitted the post about the nanny/office assistant. I laughed about the essay, but I also couldn't help but feel sorry for someone who has to stay in a doctor's office everyday!

#1 'We are looking for a better solution for our needs, we simply want more care an attention placed on her.

So bot only is this family selfish an only care about there needs, they're trying to pay less then they would at a daycare or inhome care. Nannies cost more because of the one on one attention an care. This really annoys me. Ugh.

Curious why everyone says older siblings aren't helpful. A number of years ago, I was a nanny for 12 and 8 year old boys and their baby sister. They wee a lot of help with her and if I needed to run to the store quickly, was fine to leave them alone with her. Mom would sometimes leave them several hours with her but usually I only left them alone for a half an hour or so to run to the grocery store.

Bethany said...

Older siblings can be a help. I've worked in situations that they were, BUT they are still a child you the adult are responsible for, and for that reason should be compensated for.

Phoenix said...

Ummm...

Since when did nanny = slave

The doctor position is one that no right minded person should aspire to work at. 500 word essay? I understand the point but that is called anal. Basically she wants an office bitch who watches her kid. And as a dr, she should know better than to bring her baby to work with her. What happens when the baby cries and shes in with a patient? The nanny will be abused. I mean really abused.

Doesn't really matter if an older child has a helpful nature. Parents ONLY point that out when they're underpaying & they know it.
