Insane Craigslist Ads

[BabyMonkeys]

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::eek

I had the EXACT same phone call, except I charge $150 per week and that is definitely on the high side here. People on craigslist are dropping their prices to $100 or less a week.

This lady is always on CL. The ads she usually posts have pics of her and her family only. I saw her on a local fb garage sale group, which is how I knew who she was in the first place. She spams about 20 ads in a row..but man this is a freaking handbook, not an ad. SHeesh!

$0.63 per kid per hour. Sign me up!

oh my word! this is so unreal, its crazy. 6 kids with 5 month old twins???? I am sorry, mom or dad needs to stay home and parent this crew on their own! I live in a mid to low cost of living area and these parent would definitely be paying at least $10 an hour but probably more like $15 to tend to that huge group. Even just the two babies, I would charge $300 a week, not including school agers. If all the kids were in school except the twins and I watched in my home, I would charge $600 a week.

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

It is scary when someone is that desperate for work....... willing to be open anytime, any size family, meals and all included? its really really desperate and you have to wonder why....

I'm not sure what's going on here, but this woman has been advertising for about a year now. She is not licensed, which is illegal here. I know people have targeted her on CL before making their own ad to her saying that what she is doing is illegal so I don't know if someone is out to get her or what!

Wait. What? She advertised for daycare AND ESCORT SERVICE? No, that can't be right. Can it?

WHAT!?

That took the cake!!!


These are scary. I am not one for big government, but there needs to be SOMETHING that can be done about this. Even parent education about laws, regulations, safety and more access to childcare assistance. I had a dcm who is around $10/week over for ANY assistance. The caseworker told her to either work a couple less hours per week, or find a 'cheap babysitter'. She declined both, but MAN!

I have a sneaking feeling that someone is out to get her because someone outed her right on CL before for not having a license. But there are so many illegal providers around here, I don't know why they targeted her.

Who knows, you just never know these days!

Ok, I didn't think the handbook one was TOO bad, but the second one - the title of the ad alone, made me go...
