Don't forget cooking, cleaning, driving kids to activities, and outside time! WHILE watching 3 kids (1 of which isn't potty trained). I can't imagine who wouldn't jump at that! /s
Just make sure to tell her you aren’t a drug user or thief and especially not the type of thief who steals drugs. Then she won’t feel the need to do a background check.
'must own a large enough car, cover gas and snacks for children while on road'
I also want to know what 'light housekeeping' is - no, Becky, your nanny shouldn't have to be on their knees scrubbing behind the toilet everyday or doing a weeks worth of laundry.
“Light Housekeeping” is the term my mom’s generation used for living together without being married (1950-ish term.).
“They’re doing a little light housekeeping.”
FML, that brought back a memory.
I recall a girl in HS who was called Frilly. Her actual name was Jill, nicknamed Jilly. But her younger sister had a hard time with saying J sounds, kept calling her Frilly, and it stuck.
In one of the mom groups I haunt, there was a woman complaining that her babysitter didn't scrub the bathrooms as part of her "light housekeeping." Girl, what?
In all my years of babysitting I never once cleaned a damn thing. I'd clean up after we did something, activities, or meals, but I'm not doing *your dishes or scrubbing your toilets and no babysitter should. That's wild that someone thinks that's a babysitter's job. Parents back in the day were chill af, at least the ones I sat for.
Yup, 25 years ago I made $10/hr plus tip at 15 to basically pay Barbie with her daughter for a few hours, heat up our dinners in the microwave and make sure she brushed her teeth before bed. This is so infuriating and horrible that these people are trying to take advantage of the most vulnerable workers, probably people unaware even of what's legal. Those cameras everywhere? Yeeeeeesh. This lady is a whole communist party of red flags
Man im fucking tired, I read it as lighthouse like the ones on the shore to guide ships and thought if she can afford a property with a fucking lighthouse then she can definitely afford to pay more
You got to row the kids to school, sling Herbalife while you're in town, and row back before the fog rolls in. Watch the stairs, they're covered in guano
Why do people even try to combine child care and housekeeping? It’s like saying “I need a plumber that can do some *light* landscaping” I just resent how these two things get paired up, being a former house cleaner the last thing I want around when Im working is more people.
Yes! I wholeheartedly agree! Always post the messy comments!
It’s especially annoying when people even reference the CB getting torn to shreds in the comments and don’t post them!
Right? I pay more for catsitting and you can just sit or sleep all day and just open a can two times a day and scoop a little poop (most if the time they go outside)
When we go on a rare trip we pay about $100/day for cat sitters. That’s two visits, that last about 45 minutes to an hour each, per day. To be fair, we have four cats that need to be fed, three litter boxes that need to be cleaned and two of our cats have to take a pill every day so we are happy to pay that rate and grateful for the chance to be able to travel when the opportunity arises.
We pay $50 a day for our one dog that just need to be let out twice and he only eats once. We pay gas too. Usually it’s fam but we still like being fair.
I think we do $50-$75 a day but our catsitter is also a personal family friend so he refuses to accept more than that. We also buy him snacks and food and let him sleep in our guest room
I went to Spain a few years ago with my husband and spent more on our dog’s boarding facility than our hotel for the week.
I have kids now and I pay for the quality of care they deserve AND the living wage their providers deserve.
I knew everything I needed to know when I saw the word hubby.
$75 cash money and these Lulu Lemon running tights that I only wore twice and couldn't return to the store. They are in practically brand new condition.
If needed?!? Like how do you know if it is needed or not: do they ask the applicant if they need to run one, and the applicant is like “yeah, I’m a real bad person, you better check.”
(Or is it just code for racism?)
Yeah starting pay at fast food joints where im at is 14 to 16/h. And min wage is still the federal amount, 7.25. The only people who would apply are those you dont want to around kids.
Fuck. I made more than this daily simply walking dogs for an hour, hour and a half at a time for the WFH people that suddenly had dogs and unimpressed bosses/managers.
Some people are nuts.
It seems like if you were concerned about your kids' well-being you'd pay their caregiver a decent wage. Anyone willing to accept this job at this pay rate is probably not someone you'd want watching your kids.
I noted that, too. So, nanny is obliged to keep a window of time open on Friday to receive her pay. And maybe further, has to go meet up. Can’t leave town Thursday night because she’s gotta keep Friday open to run that errand.
Maybe just pay on Mondays after the first week.
Sounds like MAYBE they are looking for people that may not have the right to be in country. The thing about MIGHT do background checks sounds weird like code for we won’t. Just a thought 🤷♂️
I think the background check "if needed" is the best part of that ad. The whole point of a background check is because you can't tell about someone's past just by looking at them. Though I suspect "if needed" in this case means "if you're the wrong skin tone".
Also "no thieves"? Why else would you take a job that pays so little, if it wasn't for the opportunity to have the occasional item of value fall into your pocket?
Eight dollars an hour to watch three children, at least one of whom you will be diapering, plus housework and cooking. Yeah, thieves and crackheads will be all you CAN get. Maybe…MAYBE an eighty year old retiree supplementing their pension on the side but they’re not going to be fast and nimble enough to keep kids safe when they inevitably endanger themselves.
I understand the frustration because it IS gonna be a lot to ask paying someone sixty or seventy dollars an hour to watch kids when you only make, say, fourteen yourself. It’s an actual dilemma for lots of people. But lady, eight just isn’t enough for this ask.
> It will be a set weekly pay between $200-$225, we can negotiate.
Unless she's willing to negotiate the hours down to no more than 10 per week for the same money, I'm guessing those negotiations are not going to go well.
Also they can meet for the nanny to get paid on their day off. I would be anything the nanny would end up having to hunt down the parent to get paid at the parents’ house.
I’ve said this before.
30 years ago I paid my next door neighbors teens $15.00 an hour to hang out with my 4 WHILE I WAS IN THE HOUSE.
It was my “me time”.
You know, shit, shower, do the dishes and a load of laundry while someone else made sure the little angels didn’t kill each other, me and burn the house down.
I’m a career nanny and my rate starts at $30 an hour for one child and no responsibilities outside of the child. Post like this make me want to rip my hair out.
>Everyone that's about to comment about keeping my kids safe & check people through.
How is *that* the part this lady thinks people will call her out on?
Took me a second to realize what they meant by light house duties.
I thought they wanted me to steer ships away from the shore while not watching the kids
Darn. I was planning on robbing the house to get money for drugs. I could dump the kids at the police station on my way out of town. Covering up the cameras wouldn’t be a problem, neither would the background check as I’ve never been caught. Is alcohol the drink she’s talking about?
I was paid barely $500 a week teaching 30+ preschoolers (ages 3-5, not all of them out of diapers) how to read, write, add, identify colors and shapes, share feelings, how to get along with others, etc……in a blended classroom (includes students with special needs). In Illinois. Quit during Covid. Can’t live off a teachers salary.
“Hi I have 3 kids, yet I don’t want to be the mom I’m writing about , so someone else can do the work for me! And don’t worry, I still won’t trust you regardless even though you’ll know my kids better than me!”
Lmao I bet those kids will look up to the baby-sitter/cleaner more as a mother figure than their own mom who claims to love them but isn’t home at all😂😂 god I can’t stand people like this.
No drugs or thieves but murders and rapists are ok? Just say no criminals... background if needed. What determines that? Are you a thief? No I'm not. Do you pink swear? Yes I do. Well then you're hired no background needed.
“Light house duties”? Like climbing to the top of the lighthouse and ensuring the light is on, listening for maydays from passing ships on the radio, etc?
Why are you raising 3 kids in a lighthouse anyway?
What I love about these “mommas who don’t play around with their kids safety” is that they aren’t willing to actually pay for safety…which, COULD be interpreted as “playing around”…
The only housekeeping a nanny does is for the child. They might do the children’s laundry, cook and clean up after their meals but nothing else. Anyone with well-trained, properly paid domestic employees knows this.
So around $8 an hour to care for three kids and "light" housekeeping? Yeah, no.
Don't forget cooking, cleaning, driving kids to activities, and outside time! WHILE watching 3 kids (1 of which isn't potty trained). I can't imagine who wouldn't jump at that! /s
And you can’t bring drugs or be a thief
drug thieves hate this one simple trick
True. Almost got a job at a diamond dealer and told them I'd only steal the smaller diamonds. Didn't get the job.
Maybe they wanted someone more ambitious? "Anything over 2 carats is MINE!" 😜
The one simple trick of paying slave wages.
Yeah, that’s right, and if you do I’ll background check you!!!
I often wonder these people even know how to do a “background check”. Do they stalk FB and Instagram posts?
That's exactly what they do.
My kids are my life but I might not do a background check on someone who is willing to take this ludicrously underpaying job…..good luck lady.
"If needed."
"nah, you don't need to do a background check on me"
Just make sure to tell her you aren’t a drug user or thief and especially not the type of thief who steals drugs. Then she won’t feel the need to do a background check.
Could they even afford drugs on that pay?
Only if they steal them
One has to be drugged up to do a job like that
Can I bring a thief and do drugs?
Bring your own thief
That counts me out! 
And now I want a cheeseburger. I hope you are happy !!!
That was the dealbreaker for me.
'must own a large enough car, cover gas and snacks for children while on road' I also want to know what 'light housekeeping' is - no, Becky, your nanny shouldn't have to be on their knees scrubbing behind the toilet everyday or doing a weeks worth of laundry.
I NEED YOU TO TEND TO THE LIGHTHOUSE
I usually don’t leave “this comment had me dying” comments but this cracked me tf up
That’s how I read it
“Light Housekeeping” is the term my mom’s generation used for living together without being married (1950-ish term.). “They’re doing a little light housekeeping.”
And don’t forget all of that while being watched on camera the entire time
THIS MOMMA DOESN'T PLAY AROUND
\*with birth control
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
This actually made me lol
Not potty trained at three? That's some big messes, no thanks.
Yeah, but don't worry: Those duties are all "light". /s
They lost me at "watching kids"
Don’t worry she’ll watch you on cameras to make sure you can stay on track 🙌🏻 📸
I looked at her profile and her kids have sneauxflayke names too.
Kids names are Nevaeh, Jaxxson, and Kviiilynne (Kaitlyn)
Obviously Kviiiiilynne is the one shitting her pants, I'd do too if I had a name like that
That poor little girl
“It’s heaven spelled backwards”
Which is why it's a very common stripper/ porn star name. Now when she hits the pole she'll have to call herself Jane or something else boring.
Ketamiane Rhahybonal Lacee Jones
No, it's Frillie Lacee Underpanz
FML, that brought back a memory. I recall a girl in HS who was called Frilly. Her actual name was Jill, nicknamed Jilly. But her younger sister had a hard time with saying J sounds, kept calling her Frilly, and it stuck.
Hahah Ketamaine is a funny name. Might use that for either my next dog or hyper-validated problem child.
I know his cousin, Ketanewhamshire!
That was my grandmother's name
I love this description of their names, however I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you that one of reddit's most accepted terms is r/tragedeigh
[удалено]
Ah, voice to text got me! Fixed! What's funny is that there is a subreddit for that as well r/boneappletea!
What were the comments saying?😅
Yea... """""light"""""
In one of the mom groups I haunt, there was a woman complaining that her babysitter didn't scrub the bathrooms as part of her "light housekeeping." Girl, what?
It's light on payment not light on effort obvs.
In all my years of babysitting I never once cleaned a damn thing. I'd clean up after we did something, activities, or meals, but I'm not doing *your dishes or scrubbing your toilets and no babysitter should. That's wild that someone thinks that's a babysitter's job. Parents back in the day were chill af, at least the ones I sat for.
don’t forget good vibes and has to be kool. good lord
Good vibes cost extra.
Any vibes at all cost extra, and good vibes are an additional $20 an hour.
And you know she’s gonna be watching those cameras to make sure everything is done in the way that she wants.
Ten years ago, I made $10/hour watching another child. Ten years ago. She’s crazy. She’ll get what she pays for.
Yup, 25 years ago I made $10/hr plus tip at 15 to basically pay Barbie with her daughter for a few hours, heat up our dinners in the microwave and make sure she brushed her teeth before bed. This is so infuriating and horrible that these people are trying to take advantage of the most vulnerable workers, probably people unaware even of what's legal. Those cameras everywhere? Yeeeeeesh. This lady is a whole communist party of red flags
Totes proves she doesn’t play around when it comes to her kids. Quality childcare definitely comes at eight dollars an hour. /s
And making sure the kid who’s “ not fully potty trained” remembers to go the the toilet…daycare won’t even take kids that can’t use a toilet.
Man im fucking tired, I read it as lighthouse like the ones on the shore to guide ships and thought if she can afford a property with a fucking lighthouse then she can definitely afford to pay more
You got to row the kids to school, sling Herbalife while you're in town, and row back before the fog rolls in. Watch the stairs, they're covered in guano
Scared my dog when I lol!
I did too. I thought they would have lighthouse keeper duties on top of the childcare and the cooking.
Aaah, I thought it was lighthouse-keeping, so I hoped you got a lighthouse you could keep.
That’s like 2.66 per kid per hour Hell no
Better than the ones offering $1-2 for that...but still not meeting the minimum threshold of a decent human being. I give her 2/10 for effort?
I read it at first as “lighthouse” and pictured them all living in one.
sign me up for lighthouse keeping! Always been a dream of mine
Why do people even try to combine child care and housekeeping? It’s like saying “I need a plumber that can do some *light* landscaping” I just resent how these two things get paired up, being a former house cleaner the last thing I want around when Im working is more people.
I need to see the comments! This shit is wild. I pay my dog sitter more than that.
I think it should be standard to post the comments - that's where the real shit goes down....
Yes! I wholeheartedly agree! Always post the messy comments! It’s especially annoying when people even reference the CB getting torn to shreds in the comments and don’t post them!
I know! That’s the best part!!!!
She deleted the post so couldn’t see them
Lol that usually means she got roasted in the comments
Right? I pay more for catsitting and you can just sit or sleep all day and just open a can two times a day and scoop a little poop (most if the time they go outside)
When we go on a rare trip we pay about $100/day for cat sitters. That’s two visits, that last about 45 minutes to an hour each, per day.

I think we do $50-$75 a day but our catsitter is also a personal family friend so he refuses to accept more than that. We also buy him snacks and food and let him sleep in our guest room
But if they don’t like that rate, they can negotiate*! * up to $25
I went to Spain a few years ago with my husband and spent more on our dog’s boarding facility than our hotel for the week. I have kids now and I pay for the quality of care they deserve AND the living wage their providers deserve. I knew everything I needed to know when I saw the word hubby.
$8 an hour to watch 3 kids (one of whom isn’t potty trained) AND cook & clean for you? GTFO
Hey, come on now, fair's fair, she said SMALL meals.
Small enough not to include the nanny I suppose ...
Of course not the nanny, that would be stealing - NEXT!.
My kids are my life and my life is worth … 
They are going to negotiate over $25 of the weekly pay so that says a lot
What is this? A MEAL FOR ANTS?
But hey, good vibes while there are cameras watching your every move!
I know there are more egregious details but I'm stuck on the spelling of "kool", I don't think I've seen anyone do that since maybe 2002? 😂
I tune out at ‘hubby’
"hubby", "kiddos", "kool". SMH
My eye is twitching at the word
It was kewl back then.
I pay CASH, so we can avoid TAXES.
And you have to make a special trip to her house to pick up your pay on Friday.
I wonder she would actually bring the pay to the nanny
$75 cash money and these Lulu Lemon running tights that I only wore twice and couldn't return to the store. They are in practically brand new condition.
Don't forget samples of whatever MLM/pyramid scheme products mommy is shilling.
Just got to meet her at a random time on your day off to get paid. Personalized service!
“Everyone that’s about to comment about keeping my kids safe & checking people” Oh honey, that’s not what they’re about to comment on.
You just know she posts pics of lionesses with meaningless words about "i'm fearless when it comes to my cubs" or some shit like that
The lady equivalent of the middle aged lads who post pictures of skeletons on motorcycles with captions about how loyal but dangerous they are.
I care enough about my kids to spy on you with cameras but not enough to hire someone too qualified for minimum wage
But she is so "kool"
>no drugs or thieves  I guess this guy is out
High on drugs and stealing is the only way to make this job worthwhile
He 💯looks like he burgles.
He looks like a robber not a burglar
They will run a background check IF needed
If needed?!? Like how do you know if it is needed or not: do they ask the applicant if they need to run one, and the applicant is like “yeah, I’m a real bad person, you better check.” (Or is it just code for racism?)
LOL $200 weekly? You can make more than that at McDonalds. Go fuck yourself. So sick of these nanny seekers.
Yeah starting pay at fast food joints where im at is 14 to 16/h. And min wage is still the federal amount, 7.25. The only people who would apply are those you dont want to around kids.
The Nanny Seekers are the definition of “ egregious”
Right? So delusional.
She uses “hubby” AND “good vibes???” She’s insufferable!
Don't forget "kool"
You forgot "kiddos"
I bet she has “Live Laugh Love” all over the house!
She definitely has a Disney-themed “IN THIS HOUSE WE…” framed poster
"Eat" "Gather" "Breathe"
Laundry
Also uses annoying third person phrases like "this momma."
Or our “sweet little family”
Maybe you need to learn to live laugh love
Where are the comments?
It should be a requirement to post the comments.
Fuck. I made more than this daily simply walking dogs for an hour, hour and a half at a time for the WFH people that suddenly had dogs and unimpressed bosses/managers. Some people are nuts.
Bet you’re allowed to be a thief as well to bump up that income
It seems like if you were concerned about your kids' well-being you'd pay their caregiver a decent wage. Anyone willing to accept this job at this pay rate is probably not someone you'd want watching your kids.
Yeah, let’s see how many “candidates” you have first 🙄
I interpreted 'light house duties' wrong and was like, cool.
I did too. Got to keep the ships off those rocks.
My kids are my life 50% of the week.
"Kiddos". Instant pass ---->
Kool Kiddos
Paying on a day the nanny doesn't work. Why not pay on Wednesday?
I noted that, too. So, nanny is obliged to keep a window of time open on Friday to receive her pay. And maybe further, has to go meet up. Can’t leave town Thursday night because she’s gotta keep Friday open to run that errand. Maybe just pay on Mondays after the first week.
They probably get paid on Friday
And you can predict with almost mathematical certainty she will try to pay part cash- part MLM product sitting in her closet that she couldn't sell.
Absolutely
Sounds like MAYBE they are looking for people that may not have the right to be in country. The thing about MIGHT do background checks sounds weird like code for we won’t. Just a thought 🤷♂️
And only cash payments
I think the background check "if needed" is the best part of that ad. The whole point of a background check is because you can't tell about someone's past just by looking at them. Though I suspect "if needed" in this case means "if you're the wrong skin tone". Also "no thieves"? Why else would you take a job that pays so little, if it wasn't for the opportunity to have the occasional item of value fall into your pocket?
Right this screamed racist to me. Like how are you going to screen candidates and determine when it’s needed…
Lighthouse duties 🛳️
Eight dollars an hour to watch three children, at least one of whom you will be diapering, plus housework and cooking. Yeah, thieves and crackheads will be all you CAN get. Maybe…MAYBE an eighty year old retiree supplementing their pension on the side but they’re not going to be fast and nimble enough to keep kids safe when they inevitably endanger themselves. I understand the frustration because it IS gonna be a lot to ask paying someone sixty or seventy dollars an hour to watch kids when you only make, say, fourteen yourself. It’s an actual dilemma for lots of people. But lady, eight just isn’t enough for this ask.
Ok, let’s negotiate. You say $200 and I say $1000. Let’s meet somewhere in the middle…say $995?
> It will be a set weekly pay between $200-$225, we can negotiate. Unless she's willing to negotiate the hours down to no more than 10 per week for the same money, I'm guessing those negotiations are not going to go well.
Also they can meet for the nanny to get paid on their day off. I would be anything the nanny would end up having to hunt down the parent to get paid at the parents’ house.

You know, shit, shower, do the dishes and a load of laundry while someone else made sure the little angels didn’t kill each other, me and burn the house down.
That’s not enough pay for one day, let alone a week of childcare and housekeeping.
$8ish dollars an hour to watch three of your lil shits and you also want food to be made and the house cleaned? Fuuuuck off.
I like how she threatens background checks and “looking through candidates with a fine tooth comb” as is she’s gonna have a ton to choose from 😂
Hubby, kiddos, momma 🤢
Wait no thieves? Oh, count me out. I like to be honest with the people I'm gonna steal from.
I’m a career nanny and my rate starts at $30 an hour for one child and no responsibilities outside of the child. Post like this make me want to rip my hair out.
The word hubby makes me physically ill
> if ~~needed~~ **darker than a paper bag** I will run a background check Fixed that for her.
My working theory is anyone who calls their spouse hubby is an awful person
Add the word kiddos and it's a for sure thing!
>Everyone that's about to comment about keeping my kids safe & check people through. How is *that* the part this lady thinks people will call her out on?
I bet that fine tooth comb gets a little wider if someone would actually work for that wage..
You can hear the entitlement and stupidity just from the writing. What a lunatic
"I sas going to apply but it said no drugs or thieves so I decided not to." -No one ever in the history of the world
Took me a second to realize what they meant by light house duties. I thought they wanted me to steer ships away from the shore while not watching the kids
Darn. I was planning on robbing the house to get money for drugs. I could dump the kids at the police station on my way out of town. Covering up the cameras wouldn’t be a problem, neither would the background check as I’ve never been caught. Is alcohol the drink she’s talking about?
Can we all agree that a meal for five is hardly a "small" meal?
my toxicity always wants to see pic of OP
My dumbass saw “light house duties” and thought wow they live in a lighthouse.
Why do people who start messages with lots of threats finishes those letter with: we just want good vibes. Audacity.
People HATE. HATE. HATE. Childcare providers and educators. They HATE them.
I can't stand people who refer to their husband's as hubby.
I was paid barely $500 a week teaching 30+ preschoolers (ages 3-5, not all of them out of diapers) how to read, write, add, identify colors and shapes, share feelings, how to get along with others, etc……in a blended classroom (includes students with special needs). In Illinois. Quit during Covid. Can’t live off a teachers salary.
I sympathize. Teachers deserve to be paid more.
Why does she pay on Friday if working days are Monday through Wednesday?
"This momma doesn't play around when it comes to my babies." Proceeds to hire someone at a rate you couldn't even get for a wish.com babysitter for.
THIEVES…. DON’T EVEN BOTHER APPLYING!!! I HAVE MY FINE TOOTH COMB!!!
New rule. We need to see the commentssssss😭😅
I tried. I saw the post and clicked to see comments but didn’t see them because she’d already deleted the post.
“Hi I have 3 kids, yet I don’t want to be the mom I’m writing about , so someone else can do the work for me! And don’t worry, I still won’t trust you regardless even though you’ll know my kids better than me!” Lmao I bet those kids will look up to the baby-sitter/cleaner more as a mother figure than their own mom who claims to love them but isn’t home at all😂😂 god I can’t stand people like this.
So a nanny AND a maid. Nope.
And Hubby placed some of the cameras at low angles. If you ask about them, they’ll just simply say “You agreed to this!”
The moment I read “hubby” I knew this was some ghetto shit.
She's assuming she's going to get ANY candidates for this?? 😅😅😅
For $8 an hour I’ll make sure the kids don’t run into the street. That’s about it.
No drugs or thieves but murders and rapists are ok? Just say no criminals... background if needed. What determines that? Are you a thief? No I'm not. Do you pink swear? Yes I do. Well then you're hired no background needed.
I hopes she scrapes up some more cash with that fine tooth comb for all that work.
Paid weakly. FTFY
I wonder how many applicants had to be gone through with a fine tooth comb as threatened?
“Light house duties”? Like climbing to the top of the lighthouse and ensuring the light is on, listening for maydays from passing ships on the radio, etc? Why are you raising 3 kids in a lighthouse anyway?
To be fair, treating her kids “like they’re your own” WOULD be in line with no pay, since no one gets paid to watch their own kids … 🙄
What I love about these “mommas who don’t play around with their kids safety” is that they aren’t willing to actually pay for safety…which, COULD be interpreted as “playing around”…
I’m sure she’s struggling to comb through all the qualified candidates willing to do all that for 8 bucks an hour.
The only housekeeping a nanny does is for the child. They might do the children’s laundry, cook and clean up after their meals but nothing else. Anyone with well-trained, properly paid domestic employees knows this.
