We're a family of ten. My husband and myself, our 5 children, 2 dogs, and cat. For as long as we've lived in the city we have been lucky to have the same nanny/family assistant. Originally starting out as my eldest son's baby nurse and staying with us for nearly 19 years. I have had a hard time meeting people that have been right for the position. We've sought help from agencies and other nanny finding sites and have now moved here in search for some more dynamic candidates. I feel that I must be up front, this job is a VERY much so a FULL TIME job with NO flexibility. Both my husband and self work full time in jobs where it is essential for us to work long hours (hedge fund and fashion industry). The hours will generally be: Monday- OFF, however, you may have some errands to run for the family. Tuesday- 9am-9/10pm Wednesday- 7am-9pm Thursday/Friday/Saturday- 3pm-11pm (You may stay much later, you may get to leave much earlier. We often have events on these nights.) Sunday- 10am-3pm (1st and 3rd weekend of the month) 7pm-10pm (2nd weekend of the month) OFF (4th weekend in the month) I do need to be upfront when I say my children can be a bit difficult. This job is very nontraditional in the sense that my kids are older and still need someone to "parent" them 24/7. My oldest son will be starting his first year at Columbia in the fall and will not be around much, but, will probably still need support. Picking up his dry cleaning, if he needs anything for his apartment, scheduling doctor appointments, anything to help him and his daily life run smoothly. As for my 2nd son- he doesn't need to be cared for. He will pretty much look after himself but I do want someone that will be concerned with what he's doing with his time at home. Making sure he's studying and insisting that he needs to be more polite. He has a streak of rude. The younger three, well, they're the one's you will have the most interaction with. They are 14 (son), 12 (daughter), and 9 (daughter). They are extremely particular and each have their own set of demands and little "isms" about them, but, I assure you they are entertaining, charming, and delightful most of the time. Mostly impart to my children's ages the nanny will be expected to do some "family assistant" type jobs. This includes food shopping, light errand running, coordination of children's school and personal schedules in a way that both my husband and I can access, walking dogs, and interfacing with our assistants. You should be: Younger and ambitious. This job is a lot of hours and not always easy for people that are not in shape to keep up with my kids. MUST be 100% legal and able to speak PERFECT English. MUST be presentable/polished. MUST have SOME college. City savvy and Blackberry Accessible. HONEST. AND willing to have at least a 2 year contract. Compensation will be: 18 days paid vacation. Half to be determined by you the rest by us. Health/Dental benefits (full, great plan) (after 90 days) 60-75 k DOE Paid over time at the rate of $60 an hour for any amount of time worked over 50 hours. Option to live in our beautiful second apartment located on 84th between Park and Lex for a reduced rent. To apply for this job please submit the following: "Resume" outlining your child care experience. A brief explanation of why you want to apply. My family and I will review these as they come in and will contact you with in 24 hours if we'd like to move you further along in the interview process. Please make the subject of your email- Nanny of 10 Position

Yeah...so the fiance can stay home and watch the two kids who aren't his. LOL. Only in Baltimore.
You know I may have been rash in rejecting this job opportunity. Perhaps simply purchasing a taser could make this something of a sinecure.

Sorry overtime starts after 40 hours. And secondly "reduced rent"? You want a slave with no personal life and you want to make them pay rent. WTF?

Only in Baltimore.I disagree...the youngest is probably his and probably a couple more at his ex-'fiance's house Meh, your point still stands though Rest assured though, VVM, it happens over here in the Midwest too. That brings up another discussion. Ever noticed how the women collecting food stamps and such always have a 'fiance' they never seem to marry? Can we say welfare fraud redux? Can we say household income that isn't reported?

Can we say household income that isn't reported? When I was teaching in the City, on the first day my freshmen wanted to know more about me...so one of them asks, "You got a husband?" (I was not married then.) "A Boyfriend?" (I had not yet met my husband.) "A baby daddy?" at which point I was like, "Do I LOOK like the kind of girl who has a baby daddy?" Sadly, a story like Tiffany's is all too common in Baltimore. I knew more kids who had babies than I did kids who could read. And their parents didn't care...one more baby meant more welfare money.
What kind of 19 year old wants a nanny? I mean really, what does he tell his friends? Of course judging from the tone, he's probably used to having servants provided by mommy and daddy. He would probably tell everyone the nanny was his "personal assistant" or "house manager".
a 19 year old should be able to manage their own affairs. That includes the drudgery of doing their own laundry, cooking their own meals and organizing their own schedules. Too many "children" have grown up with NO responsibility.
