It’s only fair that all parents want what’s best for their kids. Especially when a child is still new to this world and you need someone to help to navigate them in this big and complex environment. That’s when a nanny comes in – someone you can fully entrust your child to without worrying about it.

And while we all know that finding a good nanny is a mission in its own right, some parents seem to take a more delusional approach to it. From requirements through the roof to offering “free hands-on parenting experience” and charging a live-in nanny, these are among the countless nanny job ads we just couldn’t make up.

Below awaits the selection of the weirdest and craziest screenshots of nanny jobs that make you wonder what these parents were thinking.

With the increasing number of households needing a nanny to help care for their children, finding a good one is becoming increasingly difficult. And while it’s important to stay realistic when it comes to setting requirements for the nanny, some parents fail to do so, as seen in the numerous examples shared in this article.

It all comes down to the fact that every parent wants the best for their children. The thing in question is how differently moms and dads understand what exactly is best. For some, it’s free hands-on experience in childcare; for others, it’s another delusional request.

Another important aspect to note when it comes to a perfect nanny match is how much more cautious parents are becoming when it comes to ensuring their children's care. That’s where probably the most important factor comes into play when looking for a nanny–trust.

Are these the very same parents who complain about everything being anti-child? Just because your children play a role in your contribution to exploitation, and people aren't willing to have any of it, these people are not child haters. Ok, maybe they hate YOUR children, depends on how much delusion they already internalized...

Of course, a nanny must have the necessary qualifications and experience, but it is also important to find a nanny who is naturally kind and nurturing. Parents want someone who will be a positive role model for their children and will be able to provide the right kind of guidance and support.

But how and where do you find this whole package in a person? How do you determine if they have what it takes? From background checks to recommendations, from conducting interviews to having dinners with the whole family, parents go to great lengths to make sure they find the right person to whom they can entrust their child.

So you'd let a stranger who not only agrees to work for free but also pays half of your grocery bills and is willing to breastfeed your baby look after kids too young to tell if something is not right. Because let's be clear, no one of their right mind without sinister motives would do that and we haven't even talked about your overall entitled language.

No wonder nanny cameras are becoming a booming business with more and more parents opting to keep an eye on their child and the caretaker while they’re away. Having said that, it’s important to address some very important safety and privacy concerns and issues around nanny cameras that parents should be aware of. So we reached out to Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, who happily shared some insights.

Markuson warned that hidden cameras should never be used to monitor anyone and thus compromise their privacy. “Nanny cameras should be used for security reasons only, such as making sure your child or pet is safe,” he commented. So if parents see nanny cameras as a way to allow their babysitters to earn their trust, this is the wrong way to do so.

I’m curious how a 4 year old has been diagnosed as ADHD. It sounds like a typical 4 year old behavior. My son was in 7th grade when diagnosed, and had to go through some rigorous testing. I think people throw stuff like this in because they want you to feel sorry that they have a special needs child and you’re willing to give them a financial break.

"The main privacy issue is that if not protected properly, any smart camera (including a nanny camera) can be hacked,” Markuson warned parents who are considering getting a nanny camera. “If this happens, a malicious third party will be able to access the camera’s feed and see not only what your child is doing but also you or your other family members who are in the same room as the camera.”

To ensure this does not happen, it is important to adjust your nanny camera settings in a certain way. First, it’s checking your camera’s password settings. “Set up your IP camera to require a password. The password should be complex, unique, and consist of no less than 12 characters. According to NordPass research, people often fail to change their admin passwords. In fact, the most popular password in the U.S. is 'guest,' which is also a common admin password,” Markuson explained.

Another important step is to enable your camera’s security features. “If you bought a camera that encrypts data transmitted via the internet, turn this feature on. And always update your device with the latest security patches.”

Last but not least, it’s safest to hide your online traffic with a VPN connection set up on your router, the cybersecurity expert argues. “If you set up a VPN, like NordVPN, on your router, you can connect and secure any number of gadgets with a single device slot. Any device that connects to it, including your home security camera, will automatically be private on the internet,” Markuson told us.

Wonder why she doesn't try to get the kids grandparents to babysit? Maybe they wanted more money too. Yeah this is going to sound harsh, but the "I am a single mother" card doesn't gain any sympathy. People should have either a) looked seriously at the state of your marriage/ relationship and finances before reproducing. b) taken better precautions for birth control or c) made a different choice when they got knocked up, there is adoption even for pro birth people. We got enough people in the world, and that "single mother" is not such a rare genetic specium that human kind will suffer without her DNA in the gene pool. If one loves kids so much they should go into teaching or work in daycare. Yes I know a parent can die or just walk out, but that goes back to asking if one partner can support a kid before having one. I never had kids, because I asked myself these questions before having kids. I wasn't willing to take the risk that my partner was going to stick around and even with a teaching degree, I knew that would be enough to support a kid. I do like kids, that is why I became a teacher instead of being a sympathy seeking "single mother"

DID YOU KNOW that it's technically illegal to pay a nanny as a contractor? I didn't know this until I started researching some stuff for my daughter, who worked as a nanny! The IRS considers nannies as employees of the family, not contractors, because the parents are in control of how the nanny does the job. (What to feed the kid, when naptime is, etc.) "Treating your nanny as an independent contractor and not an employee is considered employee misclassification. The IRS deems this tax evasion as you are skipping your employer tax responsibility and leaving the entire obligation to your nanny to pay."

I'm sure the hours will be so that the nanny won't be able to do any other work for the board part of room and board. Another OP wanting an independently wealthy nanny

Have the 13-year-old babysit. They'd probably love the money (unless there's a medical/mental condition that prevents them from babysitting, but you fail to mention in your ad)

If you can offer higher pay, then for the love of God...offer the higher pay from the get-go! This is your CHILD you're talking about! Lower pay only attracts people who WILL NOT have your child's safety in mind!

Why not just give them the room and PAY them so they can take care of their personal needs because we all know you're about to take up every spare minute of their day so they can't get another job, especially since it sounds like your jobs are flexible enough for the nanny to have fit a part-time job around yours

I started working on area farms at 13 for a summer job up until I was 17/18. If they live around farmland, it doesn't hurt to ask if they need summer help, but these kids are a little young for that, so maybe wait a few years?
