What would you do?

Don't think there is anything I can do, but was a bit miffed by this.

There is an advert in our corner shop advertising for a babysitter to look after a 4,5 & 8 year old in the 'baby sitters' own home for 2 hours a day (after school session).

I don't know whether it was the fact they're advertising it at £5p/h to look after all three, or the fact they seem to be advertising for just anyone to look after their children in another home. Apart from the fact it's not legal, but it's just so irresponsible.

Some people shock me, they really do.

I'd appear very interested in the advert and when nobody is looking pop it in your bag for recycling

Sarah, you are sneaky!! Not a bad idea though.

i thought its not illegal childminding if its only 2 hours?? not that you'd get anyone to do that - £10 per day for looking after 3 kids!!!!!!
i saw a similar ad on *****, we want a childminder/nanny to look after our three children after school we'll pay £30 a week - in your dreams!!!!!!
