Whatever it is, it couldn't possibly be enough to have to deal with these narcissists and their undoubtedly loathsome offspring.

Although, come to think of, a slight exaggeration of their pictures could easily be used as biting satire which would probably go way over their heads. Some painters used to do that with megalomaniac clients.

With a minimum of editing it can fill just about any job from waitressing to shoe salesman.

I don’t find it odd at all. Just more truthful than most job postings as to the job will actually be.

But these employers don't just expect someone to (help? ha, ha) raise their child. They want someone to document their self-absorbed lives and make them look good, nay perfect.

Apparently, just raising healthy, happy kids won't cut it for these parents. They need attention--not just from the staff--but from the whole fricken' world.

The word here is "ugh".

but my point is that this is what they all want. The job description almost always leaves out the part that you become a personal servant in demeaning and thankless work. At least this one is so self absorbed and entitled that they can be honest about what they want, and then they tell people who aren’t willing to be abused to not bother applying. You know, if you don’t have the letter of recommendation saying you kiss feet on demand then don’t bother to apply.

...like someone wants to be the next Kardashian family. A “full time family social media coordinator” with experience in fashion photography?
