Parent posts job advert seeking 'nanny' to cook and clean for 18-year-old daughter at uni

The worried parent of a first-year law student is looking for a "nanny" to cook and clean for their busy daughter.

In an advert posted on Indeed, the parent said they need someone to take on the chores of their busy 18-year-old while she focuses on her "intense" study schedule.

The student will have a driver to take her around - and pick up her groceries - but a second position is open to someone who can cook, clean and do laundry for her.

The advert reads: "Nanny required to cook and clean for my 18yr old daughter who is going to University of Leeds in a demanding first year program- Law.

The advert was posted to job site Indeed. (Indeed)

"She has a driver who can pick up the groceries and drive her around but someone to ensure she eats well and lives without the stress of laundry, cleaning as her study schedule is very intense.

"This applicant does not need to be a gourmet chef, simply someone who can ensure my daughter eats three healthy meals a day and the fridge is always full of healthy snacks, juice etc.

"She is Canadian and she needs someone to cook and clean for her and lives in a two bedroom apartment in Leeds City Centre with a full kitchen and it’s a lovely apartment."

Payment for the role will be tailored to the candidate, according to the ad, but it's preferred that applicants have at least 1 year of babysitting experience.

The post, shared widely on Twitter, has attracted a fair bit of criticism.

One person tweeted: "Meanwhile half her classmates will be working two jobs to survive."

Another added: "Can she not eat chicken super noodles like everyone else?"

"Just when you thought you had seen it all," a third person said.

Others joked they would consider applying for the gig.

One person tweeted: "Has she got a microwave? If so I'm in."
