Craigslist Ad

[blandino]

I will admit that this ad is well written, and she does a good job of explaining her less than ideal current living situation. But the general attitude is that it is a gift to get to spend time with her baby, and that she wants someone who will be genuinely excited to spend time with her baby (that part is applicable to most of us ), during sporadic and late hours for low pay. Gee, where do I sign up ?


I am seeking childcare for my nearly 3 month old infant (sporadic times at present as I'm in midst of major transitions (relocating, working only part time until I determine which job I will be taking within my nursing career .....TIME FOR CHANGE;-)

It would be outstanding if I were so fortunate to find the "perfect match," therefore could be spared of the very stressful hunt for a place where I feel comfortable leaving my pride and joy (one of the 3 for 40+ hours a week!

I am a single mom with 3 kids (older kiddos planning alternative arrangements in regards to childcare). I hadn't any desire or "plan" to arrive at place I'm currently at in my life; I figured that my time for being low on cash flow had ceased to be expected when I graduated college in 2005 BUT not my reality:-) With that being said, I am not willing nor able to pay obscene rates for care nor am I interested in leaving him with individual who is merely interested due to $$$. PLEASE DO NO RESPOND IF YOU DONT HONESTLY LOVE AND ADORE CHILDREN!

In regards to pay; indeed I will be earning much better wages upon returning to my "real job," however this is not the time (I must get settled into new place etc and not ready to leave baby for such extended lengths of time). I will always be fair in relation to pay increase according to overall situation.

Times; currently SPORADIC and late as I'm working at venue which doesn't close until 2am on as needed basis.
Upcoming (after shift back to career) HAHA I DUNNO SINCE I'M NOT CERTAIN WHICH DIRECTION I'LL DECIDE TO GO (several options I'm considering as I'm looking to migrate away from area in which I've grown tired of.....

MY LITTLE GUY IS, NATURALLY, THE SWEETEST LIL MAN EVER (MOMMY'S ♥) VERY SWEET NATURE AND SORT OF AM OLD WISE SPIRIT ABOUT HIM. HE'S AT A VERY FUN AGE AS HE'S BEGINNING TO REALLY TAKE NOTE OF WORLD AND INDIVIDUALS WHICH SURROUNDS HIM. BIG SMILES AND FUN ITTY BITTY BOY

Please note; I AM LOOKING FOR A SWEET INDIVIDUAL WHO IS EXCITED BY NOTION OF GETTING OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME WITH A PRECIOUS BABE, OUTGOING ....EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN......ETC ETC+REFERENCES AS WELL AS EXPECTATION and RESPECTFUL UNDERSTANDING THAT I WILL CHECK YOUR BACKGROUND....AFTERALL, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE (of my 3) most beloved treasures here:-)

Please tell me about yourself and what you are seeking if interested in discussing further and have a great day

I see: high Maintenance, expecting total flexibility and low pay because - well - she is letting you hang out w her heart(1/3!). Lol

PASS!! ::

I bet she will wonder why she doesn't receive calls!

[Starburst]

Gag me with a spoon, is she for real? Unless she just gave birth to the royal baby, I doubt anyone would be "excited by the notion of getting an opportunity" to just watch her baby for little-to-no pay and uncertain hours. I understand ever mother thinks their baby is special but she seems a little on the extreme side. It reminds me of those bratty girls on 'Bridezilla' who think they should get everything on their wedding day for free and that their guests are lucky to even be invited to their wedding and their BFFs should feel blessed to be the bridesmaids/maid of honor.

And what does she consider an 'obscene amount of money"? Minimum wage?

I couldn't get past "nearly 3months" and "sporadic" schedule those are 2 thing that when put together I run from! Lol! Plus who wants to watch an infant that young til 2 am?! I like my sleep so I prefer to send them home at night! ::

I like the comment about how she would increase the pay accordingly when she was working more

I want the best for my DD too but I would expect to pay for it not demand cheaper care because they get the privilege of hanging out with her! You get what you pay for.

I feel like she would ALWAYS have a super long explanation for every single story.

[CedarCreek]

Ugh. Exhausting is all I'm getting from that.
