About Me

Really? £45 per week. is that acceptable?!!

It might be the woman who posted on here, who was very keen to emphasis the 'free water' she provided as a perk for her 'nanny'

Really ? Wonder if she's wondering why she's not got many applicants

oops sorry, screen froze

*emphasise

Oooooooh i remember free water-gate!!!

OK, sent her this

HI Antoinette.
I think you have made a typo as you have put £45 for the week and you might wonder why you get no replies!!

let's see if she replies.
Surely must be a mistake but if it's the same woman as last time that was the genuine wage!

So she wants a full-time nanny, a full time housekeeper/cook/cleaner and possible chauffer depending on the children's needs?

With being on-call at possible short notice by the look of it.

She's 'avin a larf...

That is a bloody ridiculous. Stick a brush up your arse and sweep the floor as you go along!!

I've never said this but shamelessly marking my place

Yeah, I want to see what happens....

Me too bootsy. Bloody hell! How cheeky.

Should we apply? Im in the north west

She wants a 'mother's help' or possibly a housekeeper who just happens to be a qualified nanny.

And I really hope £45 per week is a typo!

No reply yet.
While we're waiting, tell me about you worst paid / crappy jobs

It's very low, but it does say not required in the holidays but I assume the pay / board etc continues? Which means its not as bad...

Could be clutching at straws here!!

Could u imagine ...... Free water and evening meal...... Does that mean ur so busy u won't have time for breakast or lunch

I was paid a similar sum as an au pair, although for fewer hours and I had no qualifications.

To be fair this was in 1991

Let us know what she says OP!

It's a very low wage for all that work. I reckon she's going to reply that it's the right amount

Oh and the family I worked for's neighbours thought Madame was taking the piss. TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO!

Below min wage. Should be illegal.

ONE meal?! And you have another £45/week to feed yourself, excluding clothing and transport should you want to go anywhere.

I to think shes going to reply all shocked "of course thats the wage I mean".

this should be interesting ......................

So thirty hours a week for £45, that's £1.50 an hour. Even with the board and one (one!) meal, that's still about £5 below minimum wage. I'm not sure how she can justify that, but she'll probably try to...

I'm a SAHM...this sounds alarmingly like my life . She would need to marry someone that's happy to do all that for love, not hire someone .
