YSaC, Vol. 1653: Not exactly what the doctor prescribed
Have you always said to yourself, “Self, I would like to have a full time job that does not actually pay any money?” Of course not – full time is for WIMPS! You want a twenty-four hour a day job that doesn’t pay any money:

Except that it ISN’T 24 hours I day, it’s just 5:30-7:30 during the week and 8-4 on weekends. Unless that adds up to 24 hours. I can’t tell, the capital letters are eating my brain.
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity, Melanie!
D0n’t tell me; let me guess. Thomas is an English major, and Alison is studying to become a labor lawyer. You think not?
This isn’t an ad for a nanny, this is an ad for a Mom. They want a Mom.
You notice there’s no mention of a child or childs…I think they’re looking for a menage a trois/submissive. Good luck with that Sparky!!!
…(background check??…is THAT what the kids are calling it these days???)
My first thought was a couple of middle schoolers who were sick of eating leftover pizza again because their divorced dad is going through a mid-life crisis and they thought they could kill two birds with one CL ad (mom for them – playmate for dad). They’re even willing to chip in some of their allowance if it gets them out a few chores.
“Look, Thomas. We just got the new catalog from Stepford Industries.”
“Oh, hi, Alison. I didn’t hear you come in. What have they got for moms?”
Slave wanted…..
They have food, cable, internet, etc. That is why they have no money to pay for a nanny. Because you know… etc. That’s the most expensive thing on the list.
Priorities.
You say no males, but what if the female nanny hangs around with a chimney sweep? Is that still okay?
We’ll give you money to do things on the weekends, which is to say after 4 p.m. on the weekends, when you will totally have the energy to go out and do lots of stuff after your 82 hour work week.
Live in Nanny!
Cash for things you like to do…
Live in Nanny!
But we can’t really pay you
Live in Nanny!
Female only, drug test too
Live in Nanny, Live in Nanny, Live in Nanny!
Live in Nanny!
Room and board and some TV!
Live in Nanny!
And we’ll get to test your pee!
Live in Nanny!
Last one’s sure not in that shallow grave…
Live in Nanny, Live in Nanny, Live in Nanny!
I have a feeling they will get a pregnancy test at the dollar store and call it good.
Well duh! If it was male he’d be called a Billy.
Once again, we see that CL “effect” where the blatantly illegal can be demanded without repercussion nor second thought.
Now, were it Tammy & Allison, it might be less discriminatory to require a distaff employee.
However, that 86 hour week without compensation (beyond room & board) would run afoul of most labor laws.
As does requiring a fully healthy employee. Which, if this is a US CL posting, then brings up the issue of AHA compliance to go with ADA & EEOC compliance.
What this rather sounds like to me is Tommie & Allie had them a baby–for whatever reason or reasons–and have now discovered that children are work. Further, that orphanaria do not have a kennel/boarding scheme for inconvenient urchins.
Just imagine their disappointment should anyone answer this ad to find out that drug testing is not free, and someone has to pay for the test.
Sadly, there probably is a market for some entrepreneur to make a business out of creating a creche to raise “trophy children” who can be trotted out for holidays and similar occasions.
I hate people who write with the CAPS/lower case format.
That is all.
I’ve seen worse. All lowercase, no punctuation, font color in neon or a pale color on a pale color background. (aka how NOT to get me to read your artist profile or blog posts)
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts!
Play games, all sort
I know a nanny in good health who would love to live in and get free room and board. She eats almost anything and is very good with kids, but is no longer milking. The downside is that she is not housebroken, but Thomas and Alison did not specify that as a requirement.
You would have to check with her vet to see if she has been immunized against Capitalitis.
I’ve found the perfect match for them! one Nana, requires no money, just the occasional bit of kibble and a dish of water
