    Another Weird Advertisement Thread

    Okay! What's the worst and weirdest you've seen recently?

    care.com had an ad looking for a nanny with a "servant heart" to watch the child at the mother's workplace and bring the baby to mom so it can nurse on demand.

    sittercity.com has this: WILL SOME BABYSITTER BE RESPECTFUL , RESPONSEFUL , RESOURSEFUL , MOTIVATED , REPARED . PLEASE BE NICE

    This is the entire ad. No further info on ages and number of children, hours needed, etc. I guess she realized that wasn't enough, because she posted another ad saying under the header "TAKEING CARE OF MY KIDS" saying, in its entirety:

    I WANT SOME ONE THAT IS VERY SMART. ALSO I WANT ONE THAT WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH MY GIRLS AND NOT GO OUT OF THE ROOM THEY ARE IN.

        Luckily, I'm a card-carrying MENSA member and I'm also a ficus. Totally immobile. I can only leave the room if you put my pot on a dolly.

            Oh Lordy...bored one afternoon? Look on the childcare section of Craigslist.

            Recently the worst I have seen are providers who happily announce that they do not claim their income on taxes because "it isn't worth it to them" and providers advertising childcare for $90 a week from 5am - 6:30pm.
