Well I would say this may be her(from a local classified)
Loving Soul To Spend Time With Our Daughter Manchester, CT 06042 Occasional (as needed)

Hi there, my daughter will be turning 4 in August. We’ve never really had a babysitter for her, other than my parents, but I am feeling like it would be really nice to have another person or 2 we could call upon to watch her when we have plans, events, etc that come up. Here’s a bit about us: I am an artist & living food chef. I also teach classes and do consults. Her dad does freelance film work, so his schedule is different every week, he is not always here. My daughter is with me most of the time right now. We eat mostly raw, mostly vegetarian, super food-enriched, nutrient-dense diet, food is sacred & we really care about what we put in our bodies. We love to have tea parties, make lots of art, we have a big garden in our front yard, we’re very Eco-friendly, pretty crunchy kinda people.. One requirement I have for anyone coming into my home is no chemicals/fragrances, as I am pretty sensitive, no perfumes, scented body care products (aside from natural essential oils), fabric softeners, etc. We use all natural everything. My daughter is a magical little love, she’s super independent, intelligent, and knows what she wants and does not want, she has always been that way. She loves art, playing outside, riding her bike, gardening, water, sand, animals, reading, singing, helping. She wants her hands in everything I’m doing. We’ve practiced attachment parenting with her from the start, so it would be great if you had an understanding of that, we’ve nursed, co-slept, cloth-diapered, we always wore her in carriers, we are very holistically-minded. We’ve also been learning about NVC & trying to use that in our communications. Even since before my daughter was born, I’ve been very attracted to Waldorf education & Rudolf Steiner and it is totally in alignment with our values and passions. I would love to find someone to spend time with her who is really passionate about teaching and guiding in a child-led kind of way, and who maybe knows something about Waldorf-style education, and who is creative, fun and kind. I am really looking for someone who understands our values about food, eco-friendliness, parenting, communicating, etc and preferably is living in a similar way. As far as payment goes, we can pay in $, and I often barter as well sometimes, if that’s something you’re interested in. Raw foods, etc. Thank you! Blessings & Blissings!

Considering that "mom" is a walking, talking (incessantly?) pile of neuroses, I can't say that I blame him ... He should have thought of that, though, before he procreated with her. His poor daughter is likely to grow up even more screwed up than "mom".

OMG. I would not let a child within a hundred miles of those neurotic creatures.

She would be utterly dismayed at my baby sitting skills.

My work schedule allows me every other Monday off. Yesterday, my soon to be 2 YO grandson spent the day with me (and his 10YO uncle).

In the morning, we had a massive Nerf gunfight (breakfast was Lucky Charms & juice, and he ate just the marshmallows). Lunch was spent at Chick Fil A, and the boys spent an hour in the play area. That was followed by two hours at the local aquatics center.

He napped all of 15 minutes...after swimming. I had to wake the poor kid up, as his uncle had Taekwondo practice. He was dragging serious butt when his Mom picked him up.

That sounds very much like a family at our church. They have raised their children the same way and are quite arrogant about how much better their kids are than your kids. The father even slipped one time and complained about his kid having to share space with the other “drooling morons” in the church nursery.

LOL. That is a funny ad, but she sounds like a pretty good mother. Preferable to the overweight white trashers feeding their kids crap food and sending them to public school. Don’t see much problem with engaged parents.
