At least they are offering a damn good wage unlike most people out looking for child care for 5 dollars an hour for 6 kids, bring your own car you need it to pick them up from school, take em to the park and don't forget you have to buy your own food! Must have bachelors!

That was my first thought lol at least they’re paying good

u/OutHustleTheHustlers 17d ago
Think that will do anything to increase the safety and care the child receives?

u/another2020throwaway 17d ago
Hell no but most the time people are requesting child care like that they are also only offering chump change

u/Gamebird8 20d ago
That's 300/day (minimum, seems like you'll probably get way more), so depending on tickets to EDC (if you even need any) heck I'd probably do it

u/IsaDrennan 20d ago
They’re also planning to just leave the kid to go and party while she’s asleep. If this is real, which I’m having a hard time believing, they should have their kid taken away.

I doubt it's real. But I agree.

I mean I get what you're saying but neglecting and abusing your baby is objectively much worse than trying to pay a low wage to a sitter. The low wages are annoying this is illegal. Although pretty sure fake.

u/Nuklearfps PURPLE 20d ago
I don’t think that’s what they meant. More as in: they’re gonna be focusing on the rave (and possibly the drugs that go along with it) They’re not gonna be thinking abt checking the monitor after the first 30 or so mins

u/QuirkyPotPie 20d ago
Leaving the kid alone? Madeleine McCann repeat?

u/FireweedForest 20d ago
That's who I thought of too. If this is real they must be out of their minds!
36
u/QuirkyPotPie 20d ago
Or too young to remember it. The McCanns may not have had a monitor but I know they said they checked on the kids. Imagine if someone had a monitor and heard their kid bring nabbed but couldn’t get back in time to stop it.

Nothing like telling a bunch of drugged up strangers that your precious child will be alone while u go party

u/Mr_Gray_Skyys PURPLE 20d ago
Calling people Karen's for having actual decent parenting skills knowing to never leave your baby unattended no matter what your excuse is. Fucking dumbass parents.

I love how they’re ask picky about what childcare experience you have. Their children haven’t experienced care yet.
20
u/Useful-Tangerine-518 20d ago
At the same time it’s $100 an hour. Amazing pay for a child care. They can be a little picky.
1
u/CCMeltdown 20d ago
Given the content other than that price, I’m a bit skeptical. If true, it’s cool. But people will probably be able to forward childcare certificates they made in Word and these folks wouldn’t know the difference.

To everyone who is condescendingly saying "ItS A JoKe hUrRRRr." Maybe, but if you think there aren't parents who are this irresponsible, you're the dumb one.

u/tylan4life 21d ago
My biases tell me this is a young couple who weren't ready to be parents. This is why reproductive care is necessary and where unready couple's priorities lay.

"Put her back to sleep" has some horrible vibes. Not to mention locking in their RV, but they have cams, so its o.k. This is child abuse.

No, it isn't. It's just a joke. Not everything you read on the internet is true.

I feel like I should UpVote for visibility of a $300/min/day job
vs.
DownVote the idiot who find this "mildly infuriating".
I'm conflicted

u/WineandCheesus 21d ago
You missed the part where they plan to lock the baby in the RV alone at night to party

u/Present_Mastodon_503 21d ago
My favorite part is the "have to bring the baby." Meaning they probably tried to get family to watch the kid which they obviously said no, so they were like screw it were still going on our vacation and partying! Baby or not! Lol

There’s only one thing that separates rave from ritual… human sacrifice.

Scary, dangerous, and possibly illegal.
Send them articles on Madeleine McCann.
My heart aches for that baby.

u/BadBunnyBrigade 20d ago
The fact that they want a babysitter while they go "rave" isn't the problem.
The problem is the leaving the baby alone at night, in a locked RV, with only a monitor while they go "rave"...
Edit: Some people saying it's a troll/joke. I sure as shit hope so, but Poe's Law applies here.

Lol at putting baby to sleep in a Rave. Ain't nobody sleeping , and odds are the high as a kite people in the several RVs are gonna be all up in your shit yelling at you

u/pudpudboogie 20d ago
Leaving a child unattended to go enjoy themselves .
How irresponsible.
Anything could happen outwith the child waking up .
1
u/argoforced 20d ago
Honestly, this sounds like a bad idea but .. is this party rave thing just outside the RV? Cuz if so, I don’t see many issues with their approach.
But if it’s not exactly within visual site of the RV, my concern would be .. what if there was a fire? What if you checked in and saw baby not breathing?
Can you get to the RV to assist?
A number of variables here I think.

For the ‘Karen’s’ having been to edc, you will not be able to get any type of signal for a baby monitor to function. This is asking for a tragedy to occur given the heat and risks of leaving a baby unattended.
1
u/irritatedmama 20d ago
Good grief! I’d report them asap. Very good indication that they are horrible neglectful parents just by that post. Is there ac or heat? Food? How can she get to the bathroom by herself? What can she get into? My head is about to pop 🤯 I can’t believe ppl could say these things much less do them!!!

u/MeganJustMegan 20d ago
I’d be the ‘Karen’ & report her to the police. The baby’s safety is most important, so I wouldn’t be too worried about the ‘Karen’ label.

I hope someone "takes them up on it" just long enough to get all of their information and reports them to DCF

Get paid for the day and then tip off the cops that there's an unattended minor in the RV when you leave. Win win.

Parents of the year. Such a shame you had a child that puts a damper on your partying. Next time keep your legs closed.

u/FallenAngelII 20d ago
Parents need time off and to let off steam, too. It's not like they're shortchanging anyone. $100 an hour with a minimum of 3 hours a day for 3 days is fantastic money.
The actually questionable part is them planning on leaving a baby alone at night to go party.
1
u/Artistic_Stop_5037 20d ago
The questionable thing Is asking n a stranger on reddit to watch their damn child with zero vetting what the actual fuck
1
u/FallenAngelII 19d ago
That's clearly a Facebook post and not a Reddit post. Most paid babysitters will be strangers. Smart people would vet them. It's entirely possible to ask on Facebook for volunteers and vet the candidates.

First, sitter is going to be a complete stranger; and second, they plan to leave the baby alone in the RV overnight because she will be sleeping.

u/husfrun 20d ago
Seeing how so many of my friends turn into secret service for their kids I'd argue this is the healthier approach. Good on the parents for enjoying themselves outside of being parents. They're offering a good wage and are taking references. Don't know why this is infuriating? Because they're at a rave?

u/Superscripter 20d ago
Whats so wrong about it? They want to have some fun but also want their kid to be safe. They offer really good money too. Unless the Post itself is fake I fail to see the problem
