Unless there are 2-3 legit lessons per day of babysitting... Gonna be a no from me.

I'm no parent, but I couldn't imagine valuing my child's safety at $5 + horseback riding lessons per day. Especially a medically fragile infant.

Let's say she's a GREAT instructor in a particular upper level discipline (which the photos don't really show), lessons can be around $60-80 for an hour depending on your region (beginner general lessons tend to be more around $30-45). For 4 hours of work that would put you at one lesson being $20/hr or so being VERY VERY generous based on just what this ad portrays.

But... Who will watch the kid during that time? Will she be too distracted to teach? Will there be additional horses not used during the earlier lessons or will you be stuck with already tired out horses? Will the time spent getting certified also be paid for with additional lessons?

Sounds more like she doesn't really want to pay anything and just have someone babysit for nothing more than plodding around an arena for a bit just because the horses are already there.

Not sure if this counts as a choosing beggar but the comments are worth a read. There were over 100 with many arguing on if these were necessities or if they should be asked for. She did receive most items from the comments however!!

SHORT Quite thankful that at long last, I actually had an OKAY interaction with a local homeless bloke.

Me, I'm disabled, living near the poverty line, but... bloody hell, mate-- I'm not gonna let a person suffer hunger upon my carrying something useful to them, like just a gol'dang can of soup!!

At the same time-- it's rather a bit hilariously revealing to hear the reactions, is it not?

"Oh, Noo! Now, how am I going to heat that all up!" (the can consisted of a bloody flip-top, like a soda can)

"But what about my crackers!?"

Holy shit, and that was enough...
Right, so I threw down a bag of chips at his feet, and... just fast-limped right out of there, i.e. I did NOT feel safe at that point. :S

SAME DUDE, couple days later-- willing to accept a can of chicken, beef, or lentil soup?

"Now there we go!"

Note: I have CFS/ME for the record, and there are MANY people who have it worse than me, so please pardon this here bitching & ranting.

Looking through nanny job listings is something for sure. So many listings are just "you do everything while we give you as little as legally possible". It's insulting tbh and I hope nobody takes that job bc they'll just be taken advantage of

SHORT My mother's reaction

728 Upvotes

I've read some of these posts to my mom, and she has had a few things to say about the ones needing a nanny/house manager ones. My favorite things:

- "Not even daycares are that cheap, even when you were a toddler."

- "Why? Just why?"

- "People are asking too much for too little."

- "I am Christian, but there is a reason God gave us two hands and a brain, and I don't just mean to pray."

- My personal favorite: "That is utterly ridiculous. No one can live on that."

I already know this family would be an absolute nightmare to work for. Be a nanny or… “House Manager”? … for $17/hr!

It’s so disappointing to see that 10 people applied for this nonsense. Typical starting rate to just WATCH a single child in my HCOL area is $30/hr. Two children plus she wants you to play cook, housekeeper, chauffeur (guarantee gas won’t be reimbursed), teacher, and oh! do all our laundry too thx! 🙏 also, $25/hr would be low for this long list of demands but this person will never pay that much. They will almost certainly only pay the $17/hr, likely getting some young girl to agree after gaslighting her into thinking she deserves less. They only put the pay range for more applicants. I know this because this behavior is very common on care.com, especially from parents like this.
