Bliemy, that's £10 more per week than I pay my cleaner for 3 hours work!

Do you realise you might just have named and shamed that person when it is really likely it was a typo?

I am not a member of "childcare.co.uk" but can read that ad name and all when I click on your link!

Why don't you like childcare.co.uk gorionine? ( not asked in an arsey way, curious)

I did not say I did not like it (At least I do not think I did)
I said that even though I am not a member of it I can clearly see the ad and this ad has got the name of the person who is advertising on it. By linking it on here you "name and shame" that person as a slave driver when it is likely that the £45 is a typo.

sorry, obviously lost the ability to read for a moment.
I'm not sure it is a typo though. She didn't respond to a message from me, and she hasn't changed the details of pay. maybe she's not been online since ( trying to give the benefit of the doubt)

Blimey - I used to pay my cleaner more than that for 5 hours cleaning and ironing. I hope it is a typo.

Maybe it is not a typo but I would give her the benefit of the doubt before putting her name on here.

What message did you send her? was it to ask more about the job as if it was for yourself?

The reason I think it must be a typo is that she seem to be pretty "au-fait" with qualification and ofsted registration, surely she has made some research and must know that £45 for a 28 hour week surely is not the going rate. I'd say typo or VERY deluded person.

Typo or not. You have named this parent on a public internet forum.

I think that you should ask for this thread to be removed ASAP.

Just read it, and she is about 10mis away from me!!

Bloody hell, that is appalling!

It's like the victorian era.

Er, 'Reality' she named herself on another public forum for a specific entirely reasonable cause not to be ridiculed or to suggest that she was looking for ''slave labour''.

''Calm down'' - who are you Michael Winner?? Or a smart arse teenager??

siobahnagain, you beat me to it!

Why should the thread be removed? Childcare.co.uk is not a private forum is it? There are even buttons for sharing on facebook and twitter.....

Doesn't the add say she last logged on on the 11th? So she won't have had chance to alter the details.

Really think you should get that post removed.

Yes Bertie but childcare gets lots of hits everyday. In the past two days thousands of people would have seen in. What difference does it make? If it was a typo she will go back and correct it and the OP will post back on this thread I hope....

I read the add OP has reprinted at the top of the page and immediatly thought childcare.co.uk had been trolled.

It can't be a serious add can it? Even for £450 a week? It states they want someone so they can have family time yet the childcare arrangements are for every day after school until bed, Saturdays with possible evening and night and sometimes the same on Sundays.

This family must have a lot of midnight feasts!!

Thats without the rest of it.

I would be more worried about the facebook and twitter buttons on the childcare site than a link on mumsnet tbh.

You've got a point there helium...

Thanks 'Reality'. Pleased that you've cleared that up now. I'll bear it in mind.

I think you're missing the point gysela - of course this information from childcare.co.uk is widely available - however using it on MN for the purpose of ridiculing Ms Antoinette Nennee is IMHO bullying/cyber-bullying her.

Also, I note the request for 'expertise in AfroCaribbean cuisines' and slave labour innuendoes could be potentially very distressing. Maybe??

it is a bit weird that she says she works from 9am, but she doesn't want the childcare until 2:45.
I suppose they could be at school, though.

but he evening hours are in case she's working till 8pm, it says.

I reckon it's school aged children, probably secondary aged otherwise there would be more childcare after school and the household duties would need more time during the day.

You would need to pay me a lot more than that just to live in Rochdale never mind run around after your kids and pick up your shit.

I get your point siobhan....ridicule was not the first thing that came to mind when I read the OP. Although now when you shed a light on it I can see it from that angle
