"I wouldn't do that for N4,600 a day. You'll never find a single human that falls under those qualifications. Even a nun wouldn't have five professional references or agree to a drug test," one babysitter said.
"Does Tammy have a Master's degree - or is she just pulling this out of thin air?'" another asked.
