Maybe because she does shift work she cant afford to pay for full time daycare ( required for most places for under 2's because of the ratio).
If she only works 2 days a week some weeks why pay full time to a daycare ctr?
Maybe because she has an early start she cant find a daycare that opens that early that has a convenient location

Im not saying she is paying well, but there is a lot more to consider than just, oh if she cant pay well her kid should go to a daycare.

Care would be needed, typically 3-4 days a week, from approximately 6 a.m. -3:00 pm, however, if time changed slightly later, I need someone flexible to that as well. Must have your own reliable transportation as well. Previous nanny was being paid $50 a day, I'm looking for someone interested in 50-60 a day. Please let me know if you are interested!

What makes this person think they should have a nanny? Why not a in home daycare or a regular childcare center? They should be ashamed of themselves.



It's posts like this that make this board the most reviled on dcum. You have nothing better to do than go to another website, find an add for a person trying to do their best on a limited salary and with job commitments they can't control, and then copy it here and belittle them? There is a special kind of hell waiting for people like you.


I see posts like this and worse. Yes, there are people out there that say that they are nannies. No, they don't behave the way that parents or professionals wish they would. However, what do parents expect when they advertise for rock bottom rates? Heck, according to the post, the parent is in law enforcement, so should be quite aware that he's breaking the law. I don't think it's unreasonable to point out ridiculous posts, and I've posted some crazy ones in the past. Most nannies see more crazy posts than normal positions advertised.


Exactly.
Check out "MD - Nanny Search" on this site. Parents want to pay you an amazing $8.30/hr. for full-time twin toddlers for a grand total of $1500/MONTH!! But you must be ok with cameras. So pathetic how whey can afford cameras, but not a living wage for a nanny. Unbelievable. They'll soon be running to the police and the press with their "caught you on tape" camera footage of abuse. What a surprise.

Why don't these people care about their children?


I took a position that was about $1500/month as a starting wage, but I lived in, was new to nannying, and my boss gave me plenty of other benefits to compensate for not being able to pay as much as he felt the position was worth. Anyone with experience can get a lot more, especially for live-out.

I saw the twin post too. What I found most interesting was that it's 9 hour days "with wiggle room" and that an early start of 7 am "would never be more than twice in a single week." In other words, they need a nanny who can live on $1500 per month, and is willing to block off the whole day and into the evening for them, so the only chance she would have to have a part-time job would be after 8 pm (in case they are late: wiggle room), overnight as long as she could be at their house no later than 7 am, and weekends. I grant, at $173/week per twin, they aren't likely to find a decent daycare, but if they can't afford daycare, they certainly can't afford a nanny!

Do you have nothing better to do than come to a NANNY forum to belittle a poster for posting about a NANNY job offer they received? Can you do math? This is $5.50 per hour

Yep I agree. 9 hours of care for your child and they want to pay $50 a day?

I hear people defending this ad, but come time for the news to report on some sort of abuse on the child at the hands of this $5 nanny and then all of the defenders will turn on the employer with a quickness for paying so cheaply and expecting a safe and nurturing environment for their poor defenseless child

No posts like yours are the reason dcum is a joke. This is a forum for discussing the ins and outs of nanny situations and jobs. You being overly dramatic and wishing hell on someone is disgusting and you need help. Chill.

Also about this job ad. How exactly is it ok and commendable for someone that can't afford it to be looking for a luxury form of childcare only to be paying that person below minimum wage and take advantage? Someone that takes the job clearly is in a desparate situation and that is not ok. This job poster could easily afford full time day care for what they expect some naive nanny to accept as pay.

Maybe this thread will be looked at by someone else that is naive and they will see this isn't ok

Carry on
