    The only sort of people who would accept this deal are the ones you don’t want near your children.

    I read that a few times thinking they meant the rent was normally that amount and the live in baby sitter wouldn’t have to pay it. That would count as their pay. Still a stupid idea but… Yeah as it’s wrote, wtf?!

    Update: the kids and babysitter are gone and the rent for the room is late. Cops wont even foot the internet bill, I cant believe I let them be the ones to investigate this

    Someone needs to report these people to social services. They’re going to end up with some criminal taking an interest in this ad, at best. Who wants that job, if they aren’t family or close friends with the person posting it? Probably some child predator, unfortunately. I wouldn’t be surprised if people like this left their kids at home alone, after not finding a babysitter. I can’t stand people like that.

    I would apply do my absolute best to get the job as if I’m really excited about the opportunity, let them make plans and stuff then just not show up.

    If they call, me screaming that I need to look after their kids so they can go on vacation, that’s when you start negotiating a price, since you have literally nothing to lose, even if they “fire” you that’s still a positive.

    This is called trying to get rid of your kids and TV in one night with no work on your part. Sadly it comes with jail time.
