Just don’t apply. You don’t need to name call and post it on a discussion board. What’s not surprisingly is the meanness on DCUM to think this is ok.  You have no idea what the family’s situation is. You assume because they have two homes but that means nothing. [/quote]

Good grief. Some people really need to get a grip and have thicker skin. Two things I would expect for a family of 5 with 2 homes in DMV. 
Also, this is hardly the meanest thing ever posted on DCUM  :lol: [/quote]
Absolutely not. But usually it’s the recipient of the hatred has actually participated ok DCUM or is a celebrity. Imagine finding this if you were the poster of the ad. Seems very unkind. [/quote]

They've learned a lesson and maybe they and their mom friends living in $1M dual-homes will stop posting ads for less than minimum wage when taxes, expenses, and benefits are stripped.[/quote]

Its child care.  Most child care workers make minimum wage.  Be real.  That is far above minimum wage.[/quote]

[b]A nanny is a luxury[/b]. If they want basic childcare then they need to hire a teenager or put their children in daycare. [/quote]

They already have one.  This is on top of that and it's educational.  Maybe nanny/au pair needs a break.  If I lived close or were a student I might consider it.[/quote]

An au pair isn't a nanny.[b] Its a 17-year-old to 18-year-old kid [/b]who couldn't afford to live in the U.S. any other way. They are not skilled in newborn care or infant instruction which is precisely why this family is looking for a schoolteacher with educational experience of two years and a degree!

If anything the au pair is just there to make sure the kids don't die and asking them to watch 3 kids under 5 is a more than anyone bargained for. [/quote]

You shouldn't post if you have no idea what you are talking about.   17 year olds can not be Au Pairs.   Au Pairs can be 18-26.    And a quick look at the Au Pair sub on the nanny forum will show you that most families will not accept an 18 year old Au Pair.  [/quote]
