email to a position on craig's list

I am interested in a position like the one you are advertising, but I feel like I may be beating a dead horse looking for jobs on Craig's list. I work a job that I can't stand now and would love to go back to care giving. However, yours like most other caregiver jobs on Craig's list, are too low paying compared to the expectations. 

For $9 per hour, it is too much to expect someone to have a reliable car with insurance. I can't even afford to keep my car running now and I'm making $13 per hour. The only advantage is that my job doesn't require a car, so I can let it sit until I save up enough money. 

For $9, a person could barely pay rent and buy food. They couldn't possibly be in a good enough position to reliably take care of others. 

It's sad to me that I have so much experience doing that job and desperately want to again, but the conditions make it impossible. The last care giver job I had paid me $12.75 with benefits and the use of company cars. That is a more realistic proposition. I am sorry, but I expect people will continue posting jobs for desperate people on Craig's list.

That is all.
