Childcare Needed ASAP (Anchorage)
I need childcare on Saturdays from 9-630 in my home, I live
in Mountain View off of N. Lane st. The pay is $200 a month($50 a day or $25
per child which ever way you would like to put it.) Pay day is the 15th of
every month. Depending on the tips I make you might get paid the day of but
only if I make enough. But mostly you will be paid on the 15th. Also in a few
weeks I will need you to come over Thursday and Friday from 530pm-930pm so I
can work my night shift but that is not for a couple months yet.
About my children, My daughter will be 2 in April, She is
still in diapers but working on Potty training, But she is a easy little girl,
Always happy! My son is 4 and is potty trained, he is also a pretty happy child
as long as he is not bored. They love to play and watch movies! They both love
going for walks and to the park. Pretty simple children.
You will be making them lunch and dinner and snack which
will be provided by me. Also helping them clean up after them if they make a
mess, They pretty much clean there own room but need a little help.
You need to have a vehicle and be there every Saturday. Have
references and previous childcare experience. This would be perfect for a
student or teenager to make some extra cash. give me a call if interested XXX-XXXX
during the day I can only text since I am at work. Will be meeting with people
this weekend and will make a decision by Tuesday. Look forward to hearing from
you =)

NEEDING SPECIAL NEEDS SITTER ASAP
(RUSSELLVILLE,AR)
I'll be starting CNA classes soon and will be in need of a
sitter until I can get my 4 1/2 year old son into MyChild. He is
Autistic/ADHD/Behavior Disorder. Is not potty trained as of now and has speech
problems. Very active and hyper but is on medication. Prefere someone who has experience
with special needs kids. Would be nice to have someone to watch all 3 kids
while hubby and I go out once in awhile as well. My 9 year old daughter has the
same issues as her baby brother. So is more like a 2 and 4-5 year olds verses 4
and 9. Also have a 15 year old daughter. Can not pay a lot just yet as I will
only be in class at first. But needing a long term sitter. Both younger 2 are
on medication. Must be mature and love children as well as our small chihuahua
who is 7 weeks old. Would be in home as my son is more comfortable here at home
with his toys.
Childcare needed for 2 year old twins
(Goleta)
Hello. I am a mother to two beautiful, sweet, good natured,
outgoing, and fun 2 year old twins. I have one boy and one girl. For two years,
we have been doing great without needing any consistent childcare, but recently
my husband got hired to work full time and is no longer able to watch the kids
during the day. I currently work full time as a teacher. We are looking for
someone to watch our munchkins from 2:00 to 4:00ish each day. Luckily, they
still nap from 1-3:30 each day, so an hour and a half of you pay will be to
just wait for them to wake up and keep the house from burning down. I am
usually home from work anywhere from 4:00-at the latest, 4:30 in the afternoon.
Some days might be earlier and some days might be later. We just need someone
consistently here that we can count on to watch them.
Here is what we are looking for:
1) Good, local references that we WILL be contacting for
sure.
2) Experience: we prefer that you have at least 1 year of
experience working with young children and preferably with more than one child
at a time. Let's be honest...twin toddlers are a handful!
3) Kind, easy going, good natured, but yet firm and
consistent with discipline practices that we implement in our home. You will
have to be willing to take guidance from us on how we choose to raise our
children. We definitely don't want some nut yelling needlessly at our children,
nor do we want someone laying back with a pina colada as they make a fort out
of toilet paper.
4) We prefer that if you do have children of your own
(that's a plus!), that you don't bring them with you. Sorry to say, but we want
your attention on our kids.
5) No drugs, drinking, partying or inviting of people over
to our house while we are not home. That's just not cool.
6) I would prefer if you didn't drive them anywhere. So if
you have kids of your own, we don't want you taking our kids in your car to
pick them up. No driving with them unless it's an emergency.
7) You have to love dogs--we have 3 rambunctious, ridiculous
labs who will sniff you inappropriately.
8) If they are sick, it would be great if you were still
willing to watch them. If you are sick, we want you to let us know ASAP because
we will find someone to cover.
9) Love our kids as you would love your own. They really are
sweet. I may be biased, but my kids totally rock!
And yes, we are parents of multiples, so obviously we are
not extremely wealthy as they daily eat us out of house and home. So you have
to be willing to accept $12.50/hr. It's a screaming deal since you will only
spend at the most an hour with them both awake. Email me with a resume and a
list of references with phone numbers if you're interested.
Babysitter needed 600$/month (Thornton)
Our current sitter has chosen a different career path.
Looking for a full time, flexible person. Preferably to come to our home to
watch our 3 year old son. Depending on your arrangements we can consider your
place. Husband leaves for work around 5am, and works from 10-14hours/day, on

Currently we have the pay bracket set at 1-19 hours paid at 5$/hour 20-29
hours/100$ flat rate and anything over that 150$/flat rate, with a 50 hour
maximum before additional pay will be added. Our son is potty trained, and very
active. We have memberships to the zoo and museum. He enjoys the outdoors
immensely. Loves to learn (very fun age). Transportation very helpful however
not required. Were open to ideas and hope to hear from you soon. Call, text or

Fall Part time Nanny Needed (Jackson)
Family of four, with two children ages 3.5 and 1 (by Sept
1), are looking for a nanny/mother's helper starting in September (but will
need some help in August). In September, it will be regular hours:
Mon-Fri, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
One Fri or Sat night per week from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM (not
both, unless something comes up and you are okay with doing both, but we don't
plan on going out two nights per week on a regular basis...that would just be
nuts :)
AND Sat mornings from 8:00 AM until 11:00 PM.
We are looking for 23 to 25 hours per week. If we increase
hours beyond 25 hours, you will be paid $15.00/hour (but this shouldn't happen
very often).
Salary is $1,150 per month.
Please note that for 6 weeks out of the year, we will be
away, but we you will still be paid for those weeks. We might ask you to come
over and check on plants, but that's about it!
Duties:
*Must be comfortable with parents coming and going. We are
moving from NYC and will need at least 6 months to get stuff done around the
house.
*We have no television, so we are looking for someone to
engage with the kiddos. Reading, going over letters, numbers, developmental
stuff for the one year old.
*Adhering to our discipline style (love and logic, is
probably what we are aligned with the most--talking a lot about things with
kiddos).
*From time to time, accompanying family to after school
events, to the grocery store, etc.
*Preparing meals (for the kids, not for parents. If it's for
the parents, it's basic food prep).
*Keeping kid areas tidy.
*Laundry (kids laundry, not parents...again, this won't
happen much, just during downtime, say, if naps are taking place).
*Bath time, if needed.
*You will not have to drive kids anywhere, but during less
hot months, play outside!
Qualifications:
*Possess or are working on a college degree
*Early childhood ed experience
*Sense of humor and a great disposition
*Willing to go through background check
*Please be professional.
*Be on time and...
*Be a part of our family!
*No electronics, like texting when you are with the kids.
This has been an issue for us in the past.
*Active and engaging personality.
If you are willing to travel with us, that would be great.
We will be going to Miami, NYC, Barbados and New Orleans and would love help on
some of those trips. We will pay your weekly salary + flights + lodging + food.
This is not mandatory, though.
We are hoping someone can help us out starting August 15,
but between then and Sept. 1, we don't know the hours. After Sept. 1, it will
be the hours above. Please be able to commit for one year.

Looking for Part-Time Summer Babysitter
(Southwest Omaha)
We are looking for someone to babysit our 5 year old this
summer (May 30 - August 14) from 12:30 - 5:30 and help with some care for our
13 and 11 year olds. Our 5 year old will be starting school in the fall, so he
will start the summer taking a nap but we would like you to wean him off them
by the end of the summer.
We have a neighborhood pool and membership, so a lot of time
the older kids will be up there. We would like to have our youngest spend time
up there, as well. He needs 1:1 supervision in the pool, so you would need to
be with him at all times.
The older kids have sports 3x/week at 5:30 across town. I
would like for the sitter to meet me at a designated place after I get off work
at 5:00 so we can make it to practice on time. It takes too long to go home,
pick up the kids, and make it across town in 30 minutes during rush hour. :)
Basic Daily Schedule
12:30 - Put 5 year old down for nap
2:30 - Wake up from nap
2:45 - Snack, pool, outside play
4:15 - Everyone needs to be home - call older kids home
(most of the time they will be at the pool)
4:30 - Light dinner/heavy snack (will provide options)
5:00 - Load everyone in car to meet me at 5:10
Requirements
1. Reliability and timeliness a must!
2. Have reliable transportation, a valid driver's license,
and a good driving record
3. CPR/First Aid certified preferred
4. Be FUN! We are not looking for a strict nanny, but a fun
companion for our youngest.
The pay is $30/day and general days are Monday - Friday,
although there may be occasional days when you will not be needed.
Please contact me via email if you are interested or if you
would like more information.
Thank you!
Is there something about the first one that I'm not seeing? I don't understand why it sounds unreasonable. Actually, a few of these sound okay- not really sure why WTF?
ReplyDeleteI concur. Some of them are way underpaid, but not all of these posts are WTF-worthy.
ReplyDeleteI think some of them are wtf because of the spelling errors, and the "attitude" the poster gives across that seems to suggest all nannies are lazy or just in it for the cash.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I must be getting old, because I remember when it was the norm and not the surprising exception for kids to be completely toilet trained by age 3.
Sadly many of these CL posts are just normal. Nothing really to say "WTF??" to. The only odd things are that some parents cannot spell correctly and that some of the pay is quite low, but none of these are as good as the ones that used to be posted as CL..WTF??
ReplyDeletePlease PLEASE people send in some better posts! These were very boring to read.
Since the site is turning over a new leaf, can the admins not post the crappy CL-WTFs that people send in? $5/hr, yup - that's low and illegal but not really WTF. Someone who has misspelled a few words is not WTF. Someone who has kids with ADHD is not WTF. The one in Jackson actually looks like a pretty sweet gig.
ReplyDeleteAnd please, for the love of god, if someone tries to go all ISYN vigilante and harass the posters of cl-wtfs, do not post their ranting emails back and forth.
thanks, loves!
I think the first (Alabama) one is ESL. Even if she is just poorly educated it isn't WTF in terms of content. It seems mean to post it.
ReplyDelete1. I didn't really get anything WTF here. Except maybe the spelling errors. Did anyone else read "disscuss" with a hissing voice?
ReplyDelete2. Well which is it? A few weeks or a couple of months? Way to be specific there, its not like this is my livelihood or anything.
3. "Uh hi, I don't value myself or my services and neither should you!"
4. How soon is soon? And seriously, you just want any run of the mill sitter to watch your TWO special needs children? Crazy.
5. This actually sounds like an awesome job for a college student. Or is $12.50 really low for the area?
6. Well of course your nanny has chosen a different career path at that salary!
7. "Hello, I'm a total creeper and I'm going to steal your baby."
8. I just love a puiet neighborhood.
9. This one sounds fine too. I would apply for it.
10. Argh! A nanny is not a registered day care provider! Friggin' morons!
11. OK this one is a little ridiculous. Watching 3 kids, including teenagers, and driving them around for $6 an hour? No thanks!
A quick glance #9 seems ok, but the math works out to $11.50 an hour which isn't that great for what they are asking the nanny to do especially if they want a nanny with a degree.
ReplyDeleteIn my area what they are asking for would start at $15/hr and slightly higher if the person has an early ed degree.
Same with #5 I again don't know the area, but for what they want $12.50 is very low.
We nannies can't complain about our salaries, and scold parents for offering low wages when adds like these are posted and many of us act as thought the pay is acceptable. Things do not change unless you push for them to change.
