Introduction

We all know that at this stage, there are still many elderly care methods for us elderly people to choose from, such as community care, nursing home care, residential care, group care, children care, etc., then these care methods are limited to a certain extent. In terms of extent, it is quite good, and these elderly care methods can indeed solve the elderly care problems of most of our elderly people, but now many of our elderly people are more often willing to hire a nanny after they grow old. Although the cost of hiring a nanny is not low to take care of yourself in your later years, the unique advantages of nanny are not available in other elderly care methods. Therefore, it is welcomed by more and more elderly people.

A problem arises during this process, that is, many of us elderly people are always worried that they cannot find a good nanny, which will directly affect their quality of life in their later years. After all, the current nanny market has already been The supply exceeds the demand. Therefore, it is naturally not that simple and easy for the elderly to find a good nanny for themselves. It stands to reason that once the elderly finds a good nanny, the elderly should cherish the other person in the future and should not put the other person lightly. It’s right to fire her, but that’s not always the case. The 72-year-old man said: “Although the 52-year-old female nanny usually takes care of me like a relative, I still have to fire her in the end.” What is going on? Let’s listen to this uncle’s story together.

The self-report of 72-year-old Uncle Tu

My surname is Tu. I am 72 years old this year. When I was young, due to various reasons such as family poverty and my poor study, etc., I fell into bed early after finishing junior high school. When I entered society, in order to make a living, I went to learn to cook with a child from a relative's family.

It was quite hard to learn to be a chef at that time. I first worked in the kitchen of a hotel as a handyman, doing everything. I usually arrived earlier than anyone else and left later than anyone else. I worked in that restaurant for three years. Later, the restaurant owner saw that I was hard-working and down-to-earth and not afraid of hardship, so he asked the hotel chef to take me slowly.

After that, I worked in this restaurant for nearly eight years. I also became a qualified chef who can act on my own, but there is still a certain distance between me and the chef. So in the process of working as a chef in the hotel, I got to know what I am now. wife.

At that time, my salary could only be considered average, I was average-looking, and my family background was not very good, but I was motivated, responsible, and responsible. Therefore, my current wife still decided to form a new company with me. family.

After getting married, my wife gave birth to three children one after another. The pressure of life forced me to quit my job as a restaurant chef. Then my wife and I returned to our hometown in the county and opened a restaurant. At the beginning, the scale of our restaurant It was still relatively small. Later, through the hard work of the two of us, our hotel has developed into a large hotel with nearly forty or fifty employees.

After the economy improved, I bought a 180-square-meter elevator room in the provincial capital. I also bought a car worth more than 500,000 yuan. Of course, I was even more concerned about the marriage of my three children. I did my best to buy cars and houses for them.

Later, as time went by, my wife and I were no longer in good health. This was the most powerful testimony of our hard work in recent years, so my wife and I resolutely decided to open the hotel. Leave it to our three children to take care of, and the two of us will enjoy the rest of our happy lives at home.

In fact, after my wife and I returned to the provincial capital, we both really lived the life we ​​wanted in our old age. We would go for a walk in the park or go shopping every day. Of course, we were background workers in hotels. , I will naturally go to the streets and alleys to taste some local specialties.

Originally, I planned to buy an RV in a few years and take my wife with me to travel around the world. But who would have thought that one day five years ago, my wife She had a heart attack. Although I sent her to the best hospital for treatment as soon as possible, she still passed away a week later.

After my wife passed away, my plan was that I would never find a wife again, and just spend the rest of my life alone. On the one hand, I could no longer hold another woman in my heart, and on the other hand, I Yes, I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble and burden to my three children just because I am looking for a wife.

Because of this, when my wife left and other people around me tried to persuade me to find myself a new wife, I refused them all. On the contrary, I lived a contented single life for the rest of my life. In life, when I have nothing to do, I go out and play cards, chess, etc. with others.

But at noon one day last year, I accidentally stepped on a banana peel when I was going out to buy groceries, and I was thrown to the ground heavily. I had an old injury on my waist, but this time I suffered a sudden misfortune. I will not be able to do any heavy work in the future, and I will not even be able to do the most basic housework.

In order not to trouble my three children, I resolutely decided to spend money to hire a nanny to take care of myself in my later years. At that time, in order to find a good nanny for myself, I paid attention to everything, and also Ask someone to ask around for me.

Not long after, a friend introduced me to a 52-year-old female nanny named Zhou. At that time, my friend told me that she had been working as a nanny since Xiao Zhou’s divorce. She has been doing this job for more than ten years now. Over the years, I have quite a lot of work experience. In addition, Xiao Zhou’s reputation has been very good for a long time. It will definitely not go wrong to ask Xiao Zhou to be my nanny.

So I listened to my friend’s words and hired 52-year-old Xiao Zhou to take care of me in my old age. I originally thought that Xiao Zhou was just a “name in vain”, but since Xiao Zhou actually came to my house to be my nanny I just discovered that Xiao Zhou is indeed a very good nanny.

After Xiao Zhou came to my house, she was really very diligent. She cleaned every nook and cranny of the house, visible and invisible, and everything inside and outside the house looked very clean and tidy. The flowers and plants at home have also been given new life by her care. She is also very skillful in doing all kinds of housework, without any sloppiness.

Compared with these, the most important thing is that when Xiao Zhou takes care of me, she is really dedicated. Every day as soon as I get up, she has already made the tofu brain and meat that I particularly like to eat. I bought the stuffed buns, and she usually makes me whatever flavor of food I like. Sometimes when I am hungry at night, she will get up immediately and make me a midnight snack.

That’s not all. She knew that I had injured my waist. Whenever she had free time, she would help me go to the park to exercise. Whenever I asked for something, Xiao Zhou would do his best to meet my request. To be honest, Xiao Zhou really takes care of me as a relative, and I also treat Xiao Zhou as my child.

It stands to reason that in this case, I should cherish Xiao Zhou. After all, if I want to find a good nanny, it is more difficult to find a good nanny. But Xiao Zhou is just a nanny in my family. After working as a nanny for more than a year, I decisively fired her.

The main reason for this is that since Xiao Zhou got acquainted with me, she always inquired about my detailed family financial situation intentionally or unintentionally. Because of Xiao Zhou’s good performance, I didn’t think much about it, so I was all He told her ten times.

It’s just that Xiao Zhou didn’t reveal much at that time. Once, when Xiao Zhou helped me go to the bank to do business, she saw my one million deposit certificate . Then, Xiao Zhou looked at me clearly. It was different, and she took the initiative to show her love to me over and over again. I told Xiao Zhou at that time that I was not looking for a wife and hoped that she would work as a nanny for me in the future. I would definitely not treat her badly.

But instead of listening to what I said, Xiao Zhou continued to go his own way. Until one day, Xiao Zhou confessed to me again. Now I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I decisively fired Xiao Zhou. For this reason, I paid Xiao Zhou two more months of salary, and then I found a new nanny to take care of me. Although this new nanny was far less good at taking care of me than the previous Xiao Zhou, To this day, I have not regretted my decision to fire Xiao Zhou. On the contrary, I feel that what I did was very correct and timely.

Small conclusion

Through Uncle Tu’s self-report, we finally understood that the nanny she hired really had nothing to say about taking care of him in daily life, and even couldn’t find any faults at all, but If that's the case, why did our Uncle Tu decisively fire her? In fact, there is a very important reason for this. After the nanny hired by Uncle Tu learned that Uncle Tu's family was well off in his later years, she turned evil towards him and wanted to take the initiative to show her love to him. , and then to achieve his own ulterior purpose. Fortunately, our Uncle Tu, although he is old, he is not confused at all. He immediately saw through the nanny's conspiracy, and then he fired the nanny immediately. , thereby effectively avoiding some unexpected disasters from happening to you.

Therefore, when our elderly people hire nannies to take care of themselves in their later years, in addition to paying attention to the service quality of the nanny, we must also pay attention to the moral character and professional ethics of the nanny. It cannot be said that the nanny usually takes good care of the elderly. The elderly must turn a blind eye to some of the wrong things the nanny does that cannot be easily forgiven. This is definitely not allowed. Once the elderly does this, in most cases it will It will damage the vital interests of the elderly. Only by pointing out the other party's mistakes in time and correcting them in a timely manner can the elderly protect their own interests from being infringed. In a word, when the elderly hire a nanny in their later years, they must You need to be extremely careful and cautious. Only by hiring a really good nanny can the elderly live a better life in their later years. However, if you do the opposite, this is clearly causing trouble for the elderly.
