Exactly! People are willing to pay a lot for tennis lesions, horseback riding lessons, etc, but the person actually coming into your home, helping to raise and educate your kids isn’t worth much. Wonderful.

And, they'd get paid more.

These people are insane if they think they will keep someone without paying for the month of October. You are insane to think anyone actually qualified would accept this position. Now if they want to hire a teenager or college student, then you’re right, that’s a perfect fit.

But they absolutely do not want to hire a teen or college student. They specify in their ad:
2+ yrs experience teaching in early childhood education
Formal education training or degree preferred

So, that can be a preschool teacher or a college student who has worked part-time or a lot of different options. Early childhood education just means experience with kids.

Our preschool is still planning to operate and it is mornings only. Something like this would be a great 2nd job for one of the preschool assistants.

Only 3 hours per day, idiot.

You missed the part that there is a full-time nanny and this is a part-time teaching job

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.

We know the family’s situation. They made sure to put it in the ad. If it meant nothing then they wouldn’t have mentioned it. Simple.

OMG. They are just explaining the location changing and October off.
Do people here not have anything better to do?

Omg so you take a month off from work unpaid? Is that why you don’t have anything better to do?

I wouldn’t assume this is someone’s full time job. So, yes, they would take this part time gig off.

And feed themselves how? Pay rent - how? God - you want to talk about out of touch? Its this.

The parent in this ad wants the person to come from 1-4pm. What second job is going to let you work with those hours?

I'm pretty sure that the ad said 15 hours per week. Plenty of people work the morning shift or a late 5-12 shift later. It's totally doable. Lots and lots of people do it.

The ad writer specifies starting at 1PM for 15 hours a week. Hence 1pm - 4pm M-F. As for plenty of people -- what plenty of people? Grocery workers possibly? So they want some poor kid to be working minimum wage at a grocery store trying to make ends meet for 5 hours then run to their house for another 3 hours a day. While not being to afford the COL in this area?

Yeah. No.

My God! You people are so out of f-ing touch. Do you have the slightest idea how many people live EXACTLY like that? You all live in a God-damn bubble in DC. A college student or a recent grad might find this an ideal situation.

I worked in a grocery store as a college student. This is not only NOT "an ideal situation" but it's pretty much a non starter in the grocery business. If you limit your availability too much, they won't be willing to work around your schedule. Grocery stores (and other big box stores) want to OWN all of your time. A college student limiting 1-4 every week day IN ADDITION to whatever classes they need to take, will not be hired.

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

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.

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.

Its child care. Most child care workers make minimum wage. Be real. That is far above minimum wage.

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

Lots and lots of people aren’t wearing masks. Lots and lots of people don’t wear their seatbelts. Lots and lots of people are miserable. Doesn’t mean someone should take this job.
