Yes, those posts are from the same poster who is either a troll or a couple bricks short a load. I am familiar with the poster from the main forums, but didn't know she was posting here now.
The threads were started by posters with different addresses. Moreover, I don't see anything unusual about the posts. It just looks like frustrated nannies, which is not uncommon.
We don't have a forum in which daycares can be advertised. You could buy advertising, but the cost/benefit would probably not make it worthwhile.

The website appearing at the top of the screen for the ad is brickages.com.
Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce it very quickly and identify the source. I have stopped ads from that network and will pass the information on to them so that they can remove it from their system.
Please let me know if there are additional recurrences.
Please let me know if this is still occurring today. I haven't been able to reproduce it this morning.
Please let me know if this continues. I am trying to stop it, but I have no way to know if it stops unless I hear from users.

I am sorry this is happening. I have been able to identify the problematic ad and I am trying to get it stopped now. Hopefully, this will stop soon.
I found the ad, but I'm not sure which ad network served it. But, the nanny section only uses two networks. So I have contacted both of them about it.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to reproduce this in order to identify the ad and remove it.

I wonder about a few others also as we seem to have recurrent "research trolls", but not sure - so apologies if this is a waste of your time:

All of those except the third one are from the same poster. Good detective work. I've deleted all of them, even the third one which I deleted by accident (too many open tabs).
They should be deleted after 2 weeks.
Hard to say. That poster doesn't appear to post often, but none of her previous posts was particularly outrageous.
Okay, done.
Yes, you probably posted in the Nanny Search instead of the Nanny Position Search forum.
Although, a huge number of wrongly-posted messages were reported today and I was deleting them quickly. If someone reported your when it shouldn't have been reported, I may have deleted it without noticing. Could be either one of these possibilities.

No, they appear to be different posters.
