    Insane Craigslist Ads



    $80 per week to care for 4 kids, up to 10 hours per day, including meals. Seriously?

    :confused:

    What in the world will she feed them, ramen noodle?

    And how can she have a child from 6 pm-noon or longer? I wouldn't trust this woman with a pet rat.

      I had someone call me yesterday and asked how much it is weekly for full-time child care. I quoted my price ($135/week), which is in the median for your average home daycare and about $50-100 less than centers. Her response? "Is that for one child?" :confused:

      Seriously?? Yes, it is for one child! You don't get what I provide for $65 per week ::::::. I haven't even seen home daycare for less than $80 per week in our area, and the place that charges $80 is in an apartment with someone with no training and a couple of her children's toys within the living room.

        So basically for $15 a day, I never have to see my child? Drop them off at 8am and keep them there until 6pm then pay the extra $5 for overnight care which gets Me until 12pm then pay again each day. 24/7. Sounds like a dangerous situation.

          The scariest part is that someone WILL contact her.

                  Oh dear, that one is the scariest of all!

                  I have to say that I can understand a stay-at-home mom just looking for a little extra cash, license-exempt. There's no way someone who is ok with $10/day-quality care is going to be interested in my program anyway, so they aren't bothering me. I would hope that people wouldn't be interested, but there are a lot of people who have to put cost at the forefront of their mind, unfortunately.

                    I love how the last one just wants to help families out, you know, out of the goodness of her heart, while she smokes.

                        Ilove hearing these, but loathe that they mean people will use them. Whenever I see super cheap rates w/ no hour/day caps, I think they're filming these kids in an obscene way, or something llegal is definitely going on. Very unsafe.
