I have a horrid feeling this won't end well for them.

Strange advertisement indeed. Horrible horrible grammar, spelling, etc. Just reading their ad I would never place my child in their care. I think they sound like very irresponsible people.

She is doing the guilt trip for advertising. She should have advertised as a new daycare or nanny position in her home. If she has such a wonderful home and everything parents would start bringing kids right away if she was the right person. She doesn't have to have a car because she doesn't need to transport. She doesn't need to air her dirty laundry either.

English may not be her first language...

[Mary Poppins]

She sounds too desperate IMHO which would instantly raise a huge red flag if I were looking for dc. Desperate people do desperate things sometimes and I'd hate for my children to be in her care if she is too stressed trying to keep up a lifestyle she has become accustomed to.

I'm with Jen, I doubt English is her first language and I also commend her for trying to make ends meet in this horrible economy. She also has honesty going for her.

Most people try to market themselves as something they aren't. She is putting it all out there and saying she will watch your child, as her own, and is willing to do whatever it takes to help herself, her family and other families too. Maybe a bit too much personal info, but whatever.

Maybe not the most educated, developmentally appropriate or ideal setting but you gotta do what you gotta do to out food on your table. I am betting she will find a neighboring family or two who needs care and they can work it out between themselves as to what is acceptable payment. Not a Fortune 500 company but beats standing in the welfare line huh?
