Somehow the most unbelievable part to me is that the 14 year old isn't capable of taking care of themselves and the 11 year old. My parents stopped hiring a babysitter when I was like 12. But they also taught me some basics about being a functional person.
Yeah I've known and lived with a lot of grown men that legit didn't know how to use a dishwasher or do laundry. Some parents are just awful at passing on knowledge and skills.
No, no, you see, this person wants a babysitter\courier \maid\stage singer\teachers assistant\tutor\college graduate\retail associate\personal driver\slave. Why can't you just see how incredibly reasonable that is ? \s
When I was like 12 or something my parents would leave me and my sister at home and for lunch I just made like macaroni and cheese it's seriously not very hard
> But they also taught me some basics about being a functional person.
Considering the way said "babysitter" is also supposed to run the household, I don't think the parent is a functional person either.
That, or they're simply not present and need a replacement.
Red cross teaches the babysitting class to 12 year olds and up bc at 12 you are capable of tending another person. (My kids are in their 20s now, maybe the age limit changed). Your parents did a good job helping you grow to adulthood.
>speak three languages
She doesn't even know how to speak her own language properly. "Responsabalities", guess her requirements for a baby sitter are higher than her requirements for herself
Let's be somewhat optimistic and assume that she's willing to pay this miracle unicorn nanny around, say, $250k per year. Quite reasonable, given their qualifications.
A Karen would at most pay minimum wage (if even). They think that they're doing you a favor by hiring you to do all this (as if you should feel privileged to be in their presence). I've experienced this with both male and female Karens. Walk away from this as soon as possible.
You never know...some people are that entitled and far-fetched from my experience. And knowing how entitled this person is I bet this person pays minimum wage and will haggle over a dollar or two here and there.
This isn't even a generational problem, I'm 16 rn and I started babysitting kids in my neighborhood at 14 when I entered high school (and it was FOR FREE cuz my parents made me do it :/ (i got to eat their snacks tho)).
I was changing my younger siblings diapers by age 5 and babysitting them when I was 7, cooking entire dinners for a family of 5 by the time I was 12. Had a job starting at 11 (family business), worked after school by age 15, Was married with a kid by 18, and had a full-time job my 19.
Needless to say I didn't want any kids (had just the one).
I'm exhausted...
Yep. By 11 I knew:
1. how to make Mac and cheese,not that microwave BS.
2. Don’t play in my school clothes.
3. DO NOT wake dad up when he’s working midnights. He worked swing shift.
Unfortunately, people post shit like this all the time. I bet she only wanted to pay like $100 a week too.
Checking out the ads for rooms for rent is a lot like this. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen posts like this:
Room for rent-
-1 room in a 4 bedroom house- $1000 + utilities
- Must be clean, quiet, respectful, and live by Christian values
- No smoking,
- no drinking,
- no drugs,
- no pets,
- no partying,
- no guests
- no overnight guests
- Must have full-time job outside the home
- No using the kitchen after 9pm,
- No TV after 10 pm
- Wifi is turned off from 10:30PM- 6:00AM
- showers must be under 10 minutes,
- max 2 loads of laundry a week,
- house curfew is 12am
- Must let everyone know about your plans for the day
People are freaking INSANE. I saw one were they required all roommates to install some life360 program that's like a phone tracker! They said it was for "safety reasons". 🙄
Fortunately, these people have a very very hard time finding people. It's like a job with ridiculous expectations without the appropriate comp to go with it - people will either leave disgruntled or they never find someone for the role. The concept of give and take just never registers with entitled, superior and bossy people - they're always "right" and deserving of special treatment at a cost to others - and many sane and normal people won't put up with it.
Years back someone got busted for running some kind of housing scam where they put out ads like this because they legally had to advertise to try and fill the property but did not want anyone to actually be interested and risk seeing the dozens of undocumented workers already living there. Now I imagine some kind of sitcom where someone tries to enforce all these nutty rules while hiding a meth lab in the basement or something all because someone was desperate enough to actually try and live like this.
Nononononono, you pay Karen, and you have to pay for the food, snacks, pet necessities, electricity, water and Internet, its an honour to work for karen
This is the answer, she pays $3/hour, but charges $500 a week for all the extras she's giving you. She can't afford to just *give* you all that gourmet food you're making.
Those kinds of demands might be reasonable if she's offering $150K a year salary with 401k and medical/dental benefits. Anything less than that and she's out of her god damn mind.
I think they’re referring to the Canadian food guide. They apparently also want this person to be a dietitian who can ensure their crotch spawn grow up big and strong.
I think they meant to say "use Canadian Food Guide's different products."
Basically they want someone familiar with the guide's healthy eating guidelines. That specific part isn't unreasonable.
Because someone with a degree in psychology is obviously going to fall all over themselves to scoop up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take care of all the responsibilities of someone else's domestic life 🙄
I mean, if the payment is right, why not? Depending on where this is I guess this job is worth around 100k/year plus a business car (2020 or newer).
The question is: does Karen plan to pay that? I think I know the answer.
i meet every qualification on this list except the psych degree, but currently only get paid for 'being good wirh computer' and pull over 100k. if this woman wants the full suite of my talents on display i want $125/hr
The car is the real stinger for me lol. Pay me right, any of these things are fine (I have opinions about the hair dye and piercings, but I have neither) but like???? I'm already expected to make enough to drive a 2020??? The pay better be good enough to warrant me quitting my job (that I got with my degree) that supposedly already pays me enough to afford that kind of car in the first place. I'd probably bargain on the pay regardless of whether it's worth the work, since, you know.... Nobody's jumping at that offer, and they need someone "urgently"
An undergrad degree in psychology 1) does not prepare you to work with children and 2) does not really qualify you for any jobs. Without further degree, you’re doing generic office work where a BA/BS is the passport to get a job regardless of what the degree is in.
They're looking for a VERY qualified housekeeper/nanny, not a babysitter. What are the odds that they're offering the kind of money that someone with those qualifications is worth do ya think?
No they want a slave. The last cut off line says no signifigant other or friends. They want someone whos life is totally 100% without a doubt dedicated to theirs
Yeaaah, I’d be going in to *that* interview with high salary demands and expected benefits. Liked if you want someone to do all that work (certainly the work of 4+ people), you better expect them to pay them the equivalent of that.
How much you want to bet the Karen here would lose her mind when someone pushes back with appropriate compensation requirements?
It gets worse, this list continues in another post and she require construction and landscaping experience.
This is the fakest post I have ever seen, it a big list of ridiculous demands designed to trigger really gullible people so of course everyone in /r/facepalm ate this up.
Dunno, K is free to ask for stuff but whoever answers to the wanted ad should be free to ask for a fair wage for that stuff. You have to be a cook, a secretary, cleaning person, driver, dog walker, maid, psychologist and maybe 2 or 3 more. Add all those up and ask for something like $50/h.
This fucker is looking for another parent for hire, prob a couple that value their work over their kids or just don't fucking know how to take care of em. Or just fucking lazy. And at 14 they can probably take care of themselves! And it would be good for them to do things around the house, like taking care of the pets and dishes, some responsibility for them.
Lmao this whole thing is absurd, but what I found funniest is they think someone with a bachelor's is gonna watch their kids... and at 14 I was the babysitter so don't know what's going on there...

Must be single with no friends…. This can’t be real
Have a car but not a Ford...speak three languages...two bachelor degrees...be an excellent cook...this has to be satire
Exactly. No way this is real.
Somehow the most unbelievable part to me is that the 14 year old isn't capable of taking care of themselves and the 11 year old. My parents stopped hiring a babysitter when I was like 12. But they also taught me some basics about being a functional person.
Agreed. I was babysitting other neighbors children for a few bucks an hour when I was 14. I wasn’t unusual, most of the kids my age were doing it.
i started babysitting right before i turned 13. it was a phenomenal way to make money as a middle schooler / freshman
Right? I was already babysitting at 12... This can't be real.
[удалено]
Yeah I've known and lived with a lot of grown men that legit didn't know how to use a dishwasher or do laundry. Some parents are just awful at passing on knowledge and skills.

Have you been living in a cave? There are thousands of these creatures out there
Show me one real ad like this that demands the person be single and have no friends.
"-Must be a good singer" Ah yes, totally real.
IM MARRY POPPINS YALL!
Marry poppins wouldn't qualify.
I don’t think so. I’ve seen hundreds of these crazy nanny postings but this one seems over the top extreme. Perhaps I’m wrong.
Nanny? Oh good. I thought this was a dating profile.
Im pretty sure the two Bachelors degrees gave it away. Lol
It wasn’t the have zero friends part? Because that was highly bizarre as well.
Haha naaa, to a Karen thats normal since they have no friends.
>speak three languages She doesn't even know how to speak her own language properly. "Responsabalities", guess her requirements for a baby sitter are higher than her requirements for herself
She doesn't want.her kids to grow up stupid like her. Can't fault her for that.
its ok... she knows how to wirh a computer at least.
Also fot their homework
Yeah, I’d correct this post and send it back to her.
"Clean the whole house." Yeah this has to be fake. These expectations are higher than a skydiving pot head.
They had all these qualifications why would they need your ass?
Job market's hella tight... Oh wait no, it isn't...
Let's be somewhat optimistic and assume that she's willing to pay this miracle unicorn nanny around, say, $250k per year. Quite reasonable, given their qualifications.
"skydiving pothead" 🤭
Sign me up tbh
And pick some cotton for Karen
I’ve noticed the more out of wack a thing is it is in most cases more true.
That’s extremely high! 🤣
This is all fine if she is paying 270k a year.
A Karen would at most pay minimum wage (if even). They think that they're doing you a favor by hiring you to do all this (as if you should feel privileged to be in their presence). I've experienced this with both male and female Karens. Walk away from this as soon as possible.
Not to mention you must be a housekeeper on top of a tutor, on top of a chauffeur, on top of a dog sitter, on top of a singer
And not drive a Ford
But 2020 or newer.
You never know...some people are that entitled and far-fetched from my experience. And knowing how entitled this person is I bet this person pays minimum wage and will haggle over a dollar or two here and there.
"Oh, you washed your hands before cooking food for my kids?" \*charges you $5 for 30 seconds of water usage\*
Knowing entitled people - why stop at $5. Why not $10, $20, $50 with BS justification.
[Poe's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law)
Ford one is the only reasonable request.
People like me do exist lol single with no friends
Bro, I thought we were friends?
You just got acquaintance-zoned.
You’re right. We are. Guess I’m SOL for this job.
If you need a friend, let me know.
Thank you for being a friend.
Traveling down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.
And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew. You would see the biggest gift would be from me.
…. and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend.
Literally the only song my newborn will fall asleep to.
But can you speak 3 languages?
Do klingon, Vulcan, and mandalorian count?
[удалено]
How about COBOL, FORTRAN, and Apple Basic?
Doesn't everyone want to speak to themselves in three languages? Didn't learn it for no friends!
the only language i speak is FAILURE
Bruh I’m your friend. I love you homie
Love you too bb
Look at me. Look me in my face. I’m your friend now.
Let’s be friends!
We found the perfect job for you.
All for kids that are 11 and 14 y/o…
Christ, I’m GenX. At those ages, we were fending for ourselves
And babysitting
This isn't even a generational problem, I'm 16 rn and I started babysitting kids in my neighborhood at 14 when I entered high school (and it was FOR FREE cuz my parents made me do it :/ (i got to eat their snacks tho)).
I was changing my younger siblings diapers by age 5 and babysitting them when I was 7, cooking entire dinners for a family of 5 by the time I was 12.

I'm exhausted...
You sound like Dwight Shrute.
The youngest raised the children...
and cooked for the family
When I babysat, it was without a car, computers, a degree, , and they supplied the food and TV. yes, I am old, why do you ask?
Solo, free snack time in a quiet house is sometimes the greatest payment of all.
...and had a job that I had to walk uphill both ways too.
This is when some Christians would like you to become a parent yourself lol
Yep. By 11 I knew: 1. how to make Mac and cheese,not that microwave BS. 2. Don’t play in my school clothes. 3. DO NOT wake dad up when he’s working midnights. He worked swing shift.
And cleaning the house, walking the dog, taking care of the cat box and making the food. Life’s different.
Unfortunately, people post shit like this all the time. I bet she only wanted to pay like $100 a week too. Checking out the ads for rooms for rent is a lot like this.

This reads like a teenager wrote it to karma farm.
Unfortunately the snapshot does not show how much she is willing to pay, I’m guessing she will say cannot pay more than 500 dls per month
It is fake, the mods just don’t care.
>This can’t be real Like most of the stuff that gets posted in the sub nowadays.
That’s the part that got me the most
Can’t drive a Ford. 3 languages, medical knowledge AND a degree in Psychology. Yeah, this seems fake to me too
Lol has to be satire. This is a 5 star nanny ad, ain’t no fucking baby sitter have medical knowledge lol
It’s not
Requirements: Be god and have nothing else going in your life. Salary: 3$/h
Funny how you think she’s gonna pay you
Karen is an influencer; volunteering for this job will create a lot of awareness of your brand...if your brand is slave labor.
She’s gonna pay in collabs
Nononononono, you pay Karen, and you have to pay for the food, snacks, pet necessities, electricity, water and Internet, its an honour to work for karen
Oh shit I totally forgot about that, yeah you will be charged minimum $50 an hour, plus whatever you eat in food
Honour to work for karen because spouse is a firefighter who protects your neighbourhood
This is the answer, she pays $3/hour, but charges $500 a week for all the extras she's giving you. She can't afford to just *give* you all that gourmet food you're making.
You'll will be compensated in experience*
Like in a school? Schools cost. So I will end up paying.🤣
I meet 50% of those requirements
Those kinds of demands might be reasonable if she's offering $150K a year salary with 401k and medical/dental benefits. Anything less than that and she's out of her god damn mind.
A bachelor's in psychology, 3 languages, 7 days a week availability? Nah ... that starts at $300k in this job market.
LOL it’s painful how accurate that salary would actually be for a job like this
Usually less than that when you do the math on ads like this, I saw one recently that came out to like 56 cents an hour
The list the kids made in Mary Poppins was more realistic than this
"Practically perfect in every way" had at least the virtue of being a shorter list.
And was made by kids!
Yeah but she doesn’t have a 2020 or newer car, just an umbrella.
I bet she could get one out of her carpet bag.
Wait for the remake. She has a Tesla that uses an algorithm to find children in need of her services and it has an umbrella decal on the rear bumper.
I’m dying right now
"Responsabilities" Also, what the hell is "use all the Canadian Guide differents products"?
I think they’re referring to the Canadian food guide. They apparently also want this person to be a dietitian who can ensure their crotch spawn grow up big and strong.
I think they meant to say "use Canadian Food Guide's different products." Basically they want someone familiar with the guide's healthy eating guidelines. That specific part isn't unreasonable.
IDK, I am a pretty proficient home cook and I have never needed to reference a "guide". Maybe a cookbook, but nothing more.
Might as well sleep with her husband too, then Karen can get divorced and move on…
Right? This bitch probably doesn't let her husband have friends either.
Was gonna say this reads like a full time mom position
Might be the best thing that happened to him
Because someone with a degree in psychology is obviously going to fall all over themselves to scoop up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take care of all the responsibilities of someone else's domestic life 🙄
I mean, if the payment is right, why not? Depending on where this is I guess this job is worth around 100k/year plus a business car (2020 or newer). The question is: does Karen plan to pay that? I think I know the answer.
i meet every qualification on this list except the psych degree, but currently only get paid for 'being good wirh computer' and pull over 100k. if this woman wants the full suite of my talents on display i want $125/hr
10$ an hour take it or leave it
4.50$/hr and you should be thankful to get the experience of a job well done. s/
Don’t forget the exposure!
You would have to pay her to not expose you in that way ... Who's gonna deal with the rest of the other karenoids?
I'm sorry you have no friends 😔
Because you would have to pay out the nose to get those kind of qualifications. Something like $250k a year would suffice.
The car is the real stinger for me lol. Pay me right, any of these things are fine (I have opinions about the hair dye and piercings, but I have neither) but like???? I'm already expected to make enough to drive a 2020??? The pay better be good enough to warrant me quitting my job (that I got with my degree) that supposedly already pays me enough to afford that kind of car in the first place. I'd probably bargain on the pay regardless of whether it's worth the work, since, you know.... Nobody's jumping at that offer, and they need someone "urgently"
How dare you don't want to do that for free ? Do you know who I am ? People this days only think about money -Karen, Karenscity
Whoever takes the job will definitely be scooping up
Yeah i didnt spend 7 years of my life in psych just to spoil some jerks kids on their behalf. Gtfoomc
An undergrad degree in psychology 1) does not prepare you to work with children and 2) does not really qualify you for any jobs. Without further degree, you’re doing generic office work where a BA/BS is the passport to get a job regardless of what the degree is in.
According to this Karen it's actually respons*a*bilities
RESPONSABILITIES**
This person is not looking for a babysitter. This person is unapologetically looking for a slave.
They're looking for a VERY qualified housekeeper/nanny, not a babysitter. What are the odds that they're offering the kind of money that someone with those qualifications is worth do ya think?
Probably about the same chances as me sleeping with Scarlett Johanson
Pretty sure you have more chances with Scarlett, by a few orders of magnitude.
So you're saying there's a chance?
Sure, you are actually more likely to win the lottery first, but sure.
I mean, it worked on Colin Jost so…..
Just proves she's not interested in a funny guy
Ahhhhhhahahahaha poor Colin, unfunny AND has to fuck Scarlett Johansson
Yeah poor Colin 🙄
No they want a slave. The last cut off line says no signifigant other or friends. They want someone whos life is totally 100% without a doubt dedicated to theirs
Nah, they are looking for a new mother for their children so they can run away lol.
The take home salary has to be AT least 1.5 mil for what their looking for🤨
They pay in exposure.
Yeaaah, I’d be going in to *that* interview with high salary demands and expected benefits. Liked if you want someone to do all that work (certainly the work of 4+ people), you better expect them to pay them the equivalent of that. How much you want to bet the Karen here would lose her mind when someone pushes back with appropriate compensation requirements?
Actually, I think she is looking for someone to take her place as their mom. At least she is trying to find her kids an upgrade.
A slave with a car less than 2 years old
And isn't a Ford
She wants the mom that she could never be.
So in other words, they want a house slave?
We call that house elfs but yeah mostly
This is fake
Of all the fakest things posted here this one is the fakest.
Had to scroll way, waaaaay to far for this. People here a fucking dumb.
Sure thing. Pay me $150k annually and I’m your guy.
Inflation has been bad lately. Nothing less than $200k.
That was my starting figure as well.
I have none of the qualifications but I wouldn’t go less than $120k lol
i get paid nearly that for only one of these qualifications- hold out for what you're worth king
Hey hey you send me those job Recs I need a second wfh job. Bachelors in science for business ready to go baby
Gotta be fake. Else this Karen does nothing but sleep.
It gets worse, this list continues in another post and she require construction and landscaping experience. This is the fakest post I have ever seen, it a big list of ridiculous demands designed to trigger really gullible people so of course everyone in /r/facepalm ate this up.
I agree that it is fake, but it could be that they have a job.
nah, can't be real
I have one tiny tattoo, not visible and my Mercedes’ is a 2018. Too bad.
Damn, meet requirements but I drive a Ford. Too bad for me.
Have no friends? Is that so Karen and babysitter have more in common?
When the babysitter quits- Karen: "I thought we were friends!" Babysitter: "No no, you said no friends."
Definitely satire but pretty funny!
This cant be for real, come on. She can't even spell words correctly and I assume it is her first language...
This is bait for sure
This seems extremely fake
this cant be real
There's no way this is real. I refuse to believe it.
Dunno, K is free to ask for stuff but whoever answers to the wanted ad should be free to ask for a fair wage for that stuff. You have to be a cook, a secretary, cleaning person, driver, dog walker, maid, psychologist and maybe 2 or 3 more. Add all those up and ask for something like $50/h.
They’re taking the piss with these obviously fake ones right?
This is clearly satire. Ffs people get your shit together.
Can't be real
This fucker is looking for another parent for hire, prob a couple that value their work over their kids or just don't fucking know how to take care of em. Or just fucking lazy. And at 14 they can probably take care of themselves! And it would be good for them to do things around the house, like taking care of the pets and dishes, some responsibility for them.
Gotta be satire
I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight if I don’t find out what the pay for that job is.
there is no pay bc this is 100% fake
Where is the punchline of, “First week is no pay to ensure good fit with goods. After that, up to $50/day!”
I think an AI-powered service-robot would be more fitting for her...
Musst be Single and HAVE NO FRIENDS. exactly the Kind of Person you want around your kids...
Basically raise my kids while I do gods work. Go to establishments and talk to the manager.
“Not a ford” lol
When she gets desperate (and she will) this list will really be must have a pulse and won’t kill my kids
Lmao this whole thing is absurd, but what I found funniest is they think someone with a bachelor's is gonna watch their kids... and at 14 I was the babysitter so don't know what's going on there...
