    Gotta Love Craigslist Ads/Joke Right??????

    Hi!
    I am needing childcare for my two children, 1yr old son and 3yr old daughter.
    Of course my 3yr old is not potty trained yet. She is a stubborn young lady and has told us that she'd rather we change her stinky diapers. She'll be 4yrs old soon and she'll probably change her mind then.
    We are looking for someone who can teach her everything that she needs to know to be successful in kindergarten. She already knows the alphabet because she sings her ABCs with no mistakes and knows the color red.
    We are looking for a structured environment so she can learn her shapes, colors, and writing. We also would like a place that understands her adventurous personality and doesn't think that children should be robots.

    We have tried a center but it just wasn't personal. We have also tried a couple of home "providers" but it seems the more "training" they have, the more they want to charge. The more expensive sitters seem to forget that they are our employees and try to dictate rules to US.
    If you really care about children and understand what it means to be a babysitter that teaches children then please respond to post with your references and address so we may drop by.
    We are fully prepared to pay what we think a good person is worth however we do not see the need to pay the same for a 3yr old as we would for a 1yr old...he simply takes up less space
    With that said I have two packs of Trident Layers per week for our daughter and two sticks of Trident Layers per week for our son.
    We look forward to meeting with you soon!

And if I'm your employee, where's my insurance since I'm full time?! ::

You don't get the opportunity to pay what YOU think a good person is worth! We do! Nice try though! I must say that's pretty bold!

    With this I say, Keep your gum and shove it...along with the job!::::::

      Id be HIGHLY surprised this OP found this on CL. I smell troll poop 15 miles away and this one smells like skunk mixed with hot pavement.

      For poops and giggles though, if this is remotely real then there are some serious issues with the water the people looking for care drink.

        I agree with you.

          I would bet this was posted by a provider who was frustrated with some things she has heard during interviews. I would doubt it is real. It is REAL funny though
