Insane Ad For Nanny Gig Requires Masters Degree & Paying For Kids' Snacks In Exchange For Pay of $18 a Day
When I was in high school, I made enough money babysitting for 12 hours that I was able to buy illicit substances that will remain unnamed. Friends of mine saved thousands over the span of a year just taking care of rich peoples' children in their own neighborhoods. While I don't remember my exact wage, it was definitely at least $10 per hour. For a teenager in the early aughts, that was a pretty reasonable amount of money – just two dollars less than I made at a fish market in the summers.
If we account for inflation, if it was 2022 I'd be paid $14 per hour. Which is under minimum wage, but hey. It was always under the table. You'd think that babysitting and nannying jobs would be a little more lucrative in this day and age. And we're sure that there are plenty of well-paying gigs for qualified childcare professionals. But we're also sure that there are still entitled parents out there trying to hire nannies for pennies.
Twitter user @emily_murnane shared an advertisement from one such parent yesterday - a casting call for a nanny with a whole lot of interesting requirements.

It's pretty unfathomable that there are parents with the audacity to propose paying someone with a graduate degree $18 a day. It's also unfathomable that this same person would be required to bring snacks for themselves and their wards because the cabinets are locked. Hell, snacks for 2 kids and an adult probably cost $18 these days. Incredible.
Sadly, this entitled advertisement is far from the first of its kind.

Needless to say, the people of Twitter had some feelings about the ad. They weren't positive. And who can blame them?

Let's hope this person is right and it's some kind of sick and twisted satire.
