Babysitters Are Sharing The Most Deluded Posts From Parents They’ve Ever Seen

For many of us, babysitting is a first job: a way to earn a few bucks as a teenager.

Even though it may be a first job , babysitting is also an incredibly tough job, requiring on-call availability and childcare skills.

Make Babies, Get Paid—Trump Wants To Give $5000 ‘Baby Bonus’ For New Moms

Redditors over at r/ChoosingBeggars shared some of the most ridiculous want ads from parents seeking babysitters…and there were some real doozies.

That’s a big ask.

Image credit: JohnnyLong123
JohnnyLong123

So, to recap, the prospective babysitter here will be getting $160 a week to work from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. That’s a 55-hour week. They’ll also need to be picked up and dropped off.

Who could turn that down?

Image credit: jhernto
jhernto

Here’s a similar ask. $25 is $25, but when you break it down into hourly wage, it starts to seem like a terrible deal.

“MUST PROVIDE FOOD”

Image credit: keelhaulrose
keelhaulrose

So this parent is willing to pay $100 a week, which is terrible, and also expects the babysitter to cook and provide vegan organic food.

“Deal breaker”.

Image credit: sky12340987
sky12340987

I can’t believe the audacity of this babysitter asking to be paid. No wonder this request was a ‘deal breaker’. Yeah, that’s sarcasm.

What a deal!

Image credit: BanannaKarenina
BanannaKarenina

I like how one of the commenters points out that this demanding babysitting job pays way worse than your average high school job.

Sorry, Galileo.

I like how this person asks for a cat sitter, then turns it around as if they never wanted a cat sitter to begin with.

Well, they won’t pay $900 every two weeks.

Image credit: Ultramass
Ultramass

These parents are willing to pay $150 a week for five days a week, nine hours a day. That isn’t a very good rate of pay.

Just go on unemployment.

Image credit: westcoastcdn19
westcoastcdn19

Is this some kind of parenting hack for cheap sods? Just tell the babysitter to go on unemployment to make money?

$10 an hour is too much.

Image credit: sarcasm_included
sarcasm_included

Apparently this mom has “CPR certified adult friends” who would jump at the chance to babysit for less than minimum wage.

Only 14 conditions.

Image credit: protoss12345
protoss12345

This babysitter should be multilingual with no tattoos who’s willing to pay for snacks. Hard to turn that one down!

About two bucks an hour.

Image credit: fartypantsmcghee
fartypantsmcghee

I like how some parents lowball so hard that literally no one would be willing to work for their rates.

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Image credit: TheSlothsAreWatching
TheSlothsAreWatching

Here’s a creative ask: instead of paying a babysitter, can you simply get the babysitter to just pay you ?

$30 a week.

Image credit: alexpleasestop23
alexpleasestop23

If you crunch the numbers here, the lucky applicant will be paid a whopping 75 cents an hour for their services.

“That’s like a dollar an hour.”

Image credit: goldbricker83
goldbricker83

I love the succinct reply to this.

If you’ve ever babysat, we want to hear your stories! Make sure to share them in the comments section.

That’s a lot to ask.

Here’s a posting for a full-time nanny that’ll pay $300 a month. Who could turn down the chance to work for a $3,600/year salary?

You have to read it to believe it.

Image credit: Reddit | givemeayes
Reddit | givemeayes

If you’re spending close to $5000 on gifts, can’t you at least pay your babysitter the money you owe them? But there are so many other issues here.

Wow. Just wow.

Image credit: Imgur
Imgur

Meager pay aside, it’s not hard to see why the babysitter didn’t want to work for this person anymore.

“Sometimes the baby screams or throws up too.”

Image credit: Reddit | TheFartingKing_56
Reddit | TheFartingKing_56

Would it not make more sense to ask someone to go grocery shopping for you? Or get your groceries delivered, perhaps?

‘Well, I used to babysit for less than you want!’ Flawless logic.

Image credit: Reddit | [deleted]
Reddit | [deleted]

Okay, so they’re saying they never pay more than $8, but back when they used to babysit, they used to make $10, but you should just be grateful for whatever they decide to give you? Yeah, no thanks.

How does no money sound?

Image credit: Imgur
Imgur

Let me get this straight. Because you’re too lazy to fill out the forms so you can get free babysitting, another sitter should work for free? You already have the free option!

It’s a mystery why the last babysitter stopped texting back.

Image credit: Reddit | KattLahiff
Reddit | KattLahiff

Maybe if they decided to pay more than $2 an hour, they’d have a babysitter that wouldn’t mind coming by and watching the kids.

Please give up your summer for next to nothing.

Image credit: Reddit | queenkeels
Reddit | queenkeels

All they’re asking for is someone to give up the vast majority of their summer for less than $2 an hour. Who could say no to that!

This is just… a lot.

Image credit: Reddit | Lexia_0
Reddit | Lexia_0

Babysitter, chauffeur, tutor, chef, housekeeper, personal shopper, pet care provider, computer wiz, desire to plan your schedule around our every need, and so much more. All you need to be is bilingual, have a bachelor’s degree, and be willing to work for $13 an hour!

You can babysit and pay the rent. Their rent.

Image credit: Reddit | [deleted]
Reddit | [deleted]

Trying to get a subletter when one of the rent agreements is ‘I need you to randomly babysit my kid’ will probably be offputting to most.

“My neighbour. Oh and by ‘sit in her house’ she means babysit her two very high needs children.”

Image credit: Reddit | shrinkingbabe
Reddit | shrinkingbabe

If this ad is for babysitting, then it’s just purposely deceptive. Also, people pay more than $10 for a cat sitter to come and feed their pets!
