Weird Choosing Beggar Wants Roommate Who Pays to Be a Live-In Nanny

There are a lot of similarities between a roommate and a domestic worker. For one, both live in your house—which is probably the most obvious. Both are also responsible (partly or wholly) for doing chores and keeping the place neat and tidy. (They probably also spend more time than they want to cleaning up after your lazy buns.) They restock common items, may help care for your pets and may provide you with a source of companionship. But, for as many similarities as they might share there are some very important differences to be had: You pay a domestic worker to help you with your obligations a roommate pays you for use of your home. A roommate does not pay YOU to help you with your household obligations.

For some reason, those seeking to rent rooms seem to really struggle with some of the distinctions between the two. There's an embarrassing number of advertisements for roommates that seem to be confused about what it is they are searching for. This roommate seeker seems to be desperately searching for someone to fill the bizarre combined role of nanny/roommate/girlfriend. I agree with the commenters that this could definitely be some sort of "Hail Mary" type of play in order to find a unicorn for their relationship…

Yeah, it's a strange one… Keep reading for the screenshots.
