We would drop him off around 7:15 or 7:30am and pick him up around 5:15 or 5:30 (sometimes earlier a couple of days out the week). I know the rate isn't much, but we were hoping to get someone older (possibly retired) who enjoys children and could use the additional income. We pay on time every week - no delays or excuses. We currently have a caregiver, however we'll be moving 30 - 35 minutes away from her area.

What is she offering for a rate? Was it in the title/headline?

These ads make me very sad re: childcare in America. The mom who left her two kids in the car while she worked a 7 hour shift for example had probably posted something like these at some point

It is very sad, but I don't do my job out of the kindness of my heart. I have to support myself.

PP here and I'm a nanny too, also doing it to support myself and not for charity, but it still bums me out. When I read these I wish I was wealthy enough to start a high quality daycare for low income parents. It's clear there are a lot of families who need help.

Exactly. I also don't get this idea of entitlement to have a nanny. Not everyone can afford one on one care, and the people providing the one on one care deserve a living wage. If you can't afford that, don't do your child or potential nanny the disservice.

That's just a fact of the way the world works. If you don't make a lot of money, you don't get the best things in life. If you did, there'd be no motivation to do better.

There's also just a lot of cheap people out there. I bet most of the people posting these ads on craigslist have iphones. Have premium cable packages. Get their nails done every week, etc.

Exactly. A lot of the rates that I see on ads on Craigslist that make me go "WTF" are not that far from rates that home daycare providers charge. Often, the hours are even compatible with home daycare rates. I think these people just want "one on one" care for their child, plus probably expect nanny to do cooking/cleaning/etc., plus don't want to have to transport the child/pack up diaper bags, etc. for the daycare.

Ha! I missed that line. Not sure what they meant by it, but very strange indeed.
