I guess it is ok to post this. I am curious if anyone else out there has seen this in their local newspaper??


The ad reads something like wanted babysitter/nanny immediately. $700 a week. And has a phone number to call....so for curiousity sake I called the number today to see if I could talk to anyone....WRONG. It gives a website to look up(so I am) and it is all a SCAM!!!!


Of course $700 a week is ALOT to pay someone to watch your kids lol...

I wonder how they keep getting away with putting it in the paper though. I am going to call tomorrow and see if the newspaper is aware of it.

Oh and if you would like to know anything else, PM me...

i guess it depends... i was a nanny for my SIL for 3 days, & she paid me a bit over $300.
i personally don't think that sounds that outlandish, especially if you factor in daycare costs. a nanny gives far more personalized care, & is only watching your kids.

I've run across a few scams in our local paper here when I was looking for a job. I called the paper on all of them and they quit running the ad.
