I have many parents who say their child is 1 when in reality they are 18 months or whatever....once they reach 1 year old, they just say 1 verses saying the months too....
Only one parent may be "working" but that doesn't mean the other one isn't in college full time or volunteering or doing something else that makes them unavailable to care for the child during the day...Comment

I've never heard of a provider picking up a child at home watching them all day and then taking them home. Especially for only $50-$100 a week.Nothing unreasonable there. :confused:
Many providers offer transportation and in all sorts of situations....
Many providers charge $50-$100 per week
He sounds like a typical 1 yr old to me, other than the "almost out of diapers" comment, but he could be 1 yrs old but in reality be 1 year and 10 months....
Sounds like a lower income family trying to make ends meet.

I know right?!
I think it definitely lends to a unique service
Yep, I charge $150 for a full time child ages 2-5. I charge a bit more for kids under age 2 and don't take school age kids at all.
I definitely am at the high end of the rates around here and have been doing this for 20+ years. When I first started out, rates were barely over $1 per hour.
New daycares opening up around here charge anywhere from $75-$120 per week.Comment

It is so interesting to hear how different things are from state to state!Comment

Wow!
I've never checked the ads in my area on Craigslist but all of my daycare kids are gone and I have nothing to do while I wait for my child to get off the bus. Here are a few winners I found:
Another Craigslist ad: Seeking Senior or College student part-time (Janesville/Waverly)
I am trying to find a reliable and responsible high school Senior or college student for about 30 min a day, Mon-Thurs from 3:15-3:45. This will pay $20 a week so $80 a month for about 8 hours of work per month!!
My son attends Waverly Middle School and we live outside of the district in Janesville. I need someone to help pick him up after school and drive him to our house in Janesville. This is not a babysitting position, it is just picking him up and dropping him off at home. Once home, we have a teenager from Janesville who watches him, just doesn't drive yet!
The problem with this ad is that the person who takes this job would be driving a minimum of 25 miles a day to and from the school if they lived next door to the poster but would more than likely be driving at least 40 miles a day for a whopping $5!
Another good one:
60 year old retired teacher will give quality childcare in your home, I'm firm at $650/hr, cash only, will do very lite house work, I'm very active and ready to please, can't list me as a tax write -off, thanks so much!!
I'm doubting she got any calls for childcare at $650 an hour but then again I don't know the rate for nannies in this area.
I like how she pretty much says, "trust me with your children" and "I have no problem breaking the law" all in one sentence!
The last one for the day isn't an ad but a warning:
Independence, IA daycare alert (Independence, IA)
This is for anybody that lives in or around Independence, IA looking for daycare: Do not take your kid to XXXXXXX. She was previously registered by the state for an in home daycare and after a few months of it she got it taken away from her. Reasoning: She had taken a .40 calibur hand gun out everyday and set it on her TV in the bedroom that the daycare kids had access too. One day she had ...a daycare kid find it, reach, it and shot the gun through the wall. This was an event that could of turned into a deadly event but she was lucky enough it didnt. She nor her boyfriend, Jeremy, is taking responsibility for any of it. I have heard that she is contuniuing to watch daycare kids and this is concerning to me. Dont take your kids there unless you want to take the chance that your kid could be not supervised and get shot.
I don't even know what to say about this one!Comment

Wow! Just wow! First one: working to loose money, especially with gas so high!
Second I really hope she meant $650 a week. Which is still outrageous! Working with kids and breaking the law...great idea!
Last one: How is this slipping past the police or DHS? That is so scary!!Comment

I just read one that wasn't really that bad until the end...she says "I have experience but not professional experience, nor am I CPR trained but I live right next the the hospital"
I just kind of chuckled at the last part
