@staceyj Your DD is in a really tough situation... Unethical, conflict of interest and just plain wrong. Most companies prohibit managers from hiring their staff for work outside of work for these reasons. HR can be a double edged sword... Some will just record the concern and leave it be, others will seek corrective action and go to the Manager's Manager. It might be worthwhile to find out if this company has such a policy, if it does then declining with the thought that she doesn't want anyone getting into trouble might be a way out.

Good idea. That might be her best way out without causing any waves

OK ladies here’s the dilemma for you. My daughter is 21. She works between 30 and 40 hours a week and goes to school part time. One of her female bosses is a woman she really likes. This boss just had a baby about five weeks ago.

All through her pregnancy she told my daughter that she would love to have her babysit for her so she could ease back into work one (maybe two) half day (ish) a week (starting soon)
so that she isn’t swamped when she comes back full time.

Late last night while she was nursing, 11:30, she started texting my daughter who’d gone to school in the morning, then worked a 9 hr shift at her job.

She said her inlaws have their hearts set on taking care of the baby.
(TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!)
But the father in law (age 75) isn’t mobile, and isn’t capable to feed or change diapers.
The grandma is 70 and has her hands full taking care of the husband.

Boss lady asked if my daughter would be willing to do this babysitting at the grandparents house “to help safely facilitate the baby’s interaction with its grandfather” and lend a hand to the grandmother, “with light household chores and possibly making them lunch”.

I said
“WAIT! Let me get this straight. So she wants you to drive 35 minutes each way to a house that isn’t set up for a baby, to babysit a brand newborn AND two senior citizens PLUS be the cook and housekeeper.........
For $10/hr.

Uh, that’s a hell no from me.

What do you gals think about this?

Sounds nuts, your daughter has enough to do as it is.
 
He came and got him, that man is nutty. He drove his little cart up here with his wife "she's 65 easy and a little woman" anyway he drove the cart and made her ride Dipsy back! It just a half mile maybe but he's a big boy and it is cold.
They have three sons still living at home don't know why he didn't get one of them to help probably still asleep lazy bums.:rant
