Another CL Ad

[small_steps]

My husband and I need childcare for our 4 year old and 10 month old daughters. They are currently under the care of a family member who is not very reliable and we need to find someone else. We have 6 children so we cannot afford to put them in a daycare center. Our budget allows us $350 a month for both children. If there is anyone that runs an in home daycare with rates that low please email me. Thank you

I'm assuming she means $350 together for both children?
That's not even $100 per week...highly doubt she will find a good quality childcare provider. That would barely cover any food/supplies that the provider would have to buy.

It's back to the entitlement thing again.

"We have 6 kids and...we expect you to take care of them. Of course we CAN afford cable TV, web access, cigarettes, weekend entertainment etc. We just want everyone else to pay for day care, food , housing etc."

OMG that's ridiculous. And I bet some poor SAHM will answer the ad.

yep, I am already seeing licensed providers advertising $15 a day for 12-14 hour days and they are open 24 hours/7 days a week
The economy is so bad nowadays, there are laid off teachers getting their license and parents are wanting them.

I'm seeing the same thing. I saw one the other day for $1.50 an hour.

Reminds me of this CL ad that I saw the other day

"I am looking for someone to watch my two little girls ages 3 and 4. I can only afford $100-$125 a week. I would need someone close to the base that could watch them from around 6:30 to approx 4:30. Please contact me for more details if you would be able to watch them.

Thank You "

Thats for both kids I'm assuming. That is the low end of the going rate around here for 1 kid and she wants it for two.
