I wonder if she'll get anyone!
Hello! I'm looking for a Sitter
September 10-13 Monday-Thursday
And
September 17-20 Monday-Thursday
From 8:30-2:30.
My mom will also be there, but is not able to care for her on her own.
I've never left her before, so I need to find someone I can trust, with references. Experience is a must. Please email if your interested and we can schedule a time to met before the date. I will get back to your email towards the end of the month. We can't afford much, so I would prefer paying you with a good condition coach purse or other name brands. If this is an option, please let me know!
I'm a stay at home mom looking for a job, thank you!

thats hardly over a $1 an hour for potentially two kids and you have to drive there. depending on where you are coming from, you might use half your "earnings" per day just to get to the house!People do not think,I came across this ad today.

Unfortunately, I see ads like this one on a regular basis around here. Wanted: care for a few hours for a few days. Willing to pay up to two or three an hour, you come to my house and watch all four of my kids. The sad part is that people probably do it........

I could be way off, but when I read this my interpretation was that the family used to have extra money but for some reason (maybe dad got laid off or the parents split) they no longer do, hence why she needs a sitter while she looks for a job. She could have bought the Coach purse and other name brands a year ago.Can't afford much but can afford a coach purse and other name brands!

i was that single mom....married to a nice man with money and then left with nothing...I could be way off, but when I read this my interpretation was that the family used to have extra money but for some reason (maybe dad got laid off or the parents split) they no longer do, hence why she needs a sitter while she looks for a job.

BUT I sold everything I had and paid for things

I think I saw that one today but she was offering $2 per hour? Apparently no one was going for the purse? 
momofsix 04:10 PM 08-23-2012
She had some "responses" to her add-people telling her it wasn't going to happen! Here is her response to them:
I do understand both sides as I have babysat for 8 years myself but recently got my CNA license and am trying to give my son everything he would ever need!!!! But these people saying they need at least minimum wage or we need to go to day care centers is ridicious!!!! My son is everything to me and I DO want the best care for him but in our budget we just can't afford to pay an arm and a leg. My husband and I both work for a little over minimum wage and can't possibly give our whole check over to a babysitter I'm sorry but babysitters u need to check yourselves first before saying anything! Most daycares aren't as flexible as we need that's another reason we can't do that! We both have jobs that requie us to work all shifts and weekends! So lower your standards and try to understand.

crazydaycarelady 04:19 PM 08-23-2012
Do you think she meant $200/week? Who in their right mind would work full-time for $200/month?
providerandmomof4 04:20 PM 08-23-2012
Wow....her response is incredible. "..you need to lower your standards." She acts as if someone owes her something. I think that lady needs to find a family member that would be willing to help her out. Just ridiculous...
DCMama 06:10 PM 08-23-2012
This lady sound so entitle and a little bit of a joke to be honest. I do not think it's a good deal to take care of 2 potential kids for a old coach bag that I can purchase at an outlet for a lower price and is brand new. This sound so silly.

Lower your standards? Good grief.
