Student, 18, has driver ... but now needs cook

AN ADVERT for a home help to cook and clean for an 18-year-old university student in Yorkshire has emerged online.

It was posted two days ago by a concerned parent whose daughter is a law undergraduate at the University of Leeds.

The Canadian student already has a driver and a “lovely” two-bedroom apartment, according to the ad, but the toils of student life have proven too much for her to bear.

The parent says they want to ensure their daughter lives “without the stress of laundry” as her schedule is “very intense”.

Despite the need for a cook, the ad doesn’t ask for a gourmet chef, only for the fridge to be stocked full of “healthy snacks”.

Since it was posted the listing has been mocked tirelessly on social media, with one user exclaiming: “Rich people are actually mental”.

One Twitter user lamented the ad, stating: “Meanwhile half her classmates will be working two jobs to survive.”

Another chimed in, questioning her ability as a lawyer if she was unable to take care of herself.

They said: “If she can’t look after herself as a student, how the hell is she going to manage in the real world practising law? I wouldn’t want her representing me.”

But more users were encouraging about the post, one saying: “Wait – you get to live in a citycentre apartment?

“And all you have to do is load a Canadian lass up with Greggs’ sausage rolls and wave a Pledge duster about the place?”

The ad, posted by a firm called Skin Vitality Medical Clinic, reads: “This applicant does not need to be a gourmet chef, simply someone who can ensure my daughter eats three healthy meals a day and the fridge is always full of healthy snacks, juice etc.”
