Interesting Website- RentaGrandma.com

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything I find on the internet, but sometimes you see an ad for a website or just stumble upon one that has you scratching your head a bit. That happened for me today when I accidentally wound up at rentagrandma.com. 

Ok, so once I got to looking it really wasn't as weird as I had thought just reading the title, but it is kind of cool. No, it's not for someone who just needs an old woman to hang out with, it's not "X" rated, and it's not a joke. It is actually just what it says. In a nutshell, it's an agency for all your quality domestic staffing needs.

The Grandmas are:

• Carefully screened
• English speaking
• Most have decades of experience in childcare and providing household services
• Loyal & committed
• Why hire a teenage nanny when you can have a Grandma?

Rent a Grandma services include:

• Nannies
• Household Maintenance Staff
• Large Estate Management Staff
• Specialized services (chef, personal assistant, organizing, party help, elderly care, etc.)
• Our Grandmas also love pets! Pet sitting/pet care services available

Todd Pliss, a former teacher, says he got the idea when he was teaching children in Hollywood. Pliss says, “I would hear these horror stories all the time, like the sitter that almost burned down the house when she forgot there was dinner on the stove, or the nanny that fell asleep and locked the kids outside the house.” So he has fixed it, and is always looking for new grandmas, and also places to send the ones he already has.
