Introduction:
Nowadays, more and more people are working as nannies, especially some women who are over forty years old. The reason is that as they get older, they gradually lose their physical strength to participate in weight labor. As they work less and less, they have to find an industry with light physical strength to get corresponding salary.
is engaged in the nanny industry. The first is that the threshold is relatively low, and the second is that the salary is still OK for the same age group. However, when you get into this industry, you find that taking care of your employer is not that easy, and some people can't even work in this industry. Ms. Li in this article has been in this industry for more than ten years. Let’s see what experience she has.
Ms. Li, 58 years old, has been a nanny for more than ten years.
Ms. Li changed her career from 43 years old to become a nanny. In her words, I have been working in a private enterprise in the past. The company adopts the three shifts and model. It is time to go to work. In the middle, I need to find someone to take leave due to an accident. As for salary, you get a few thousand yuan a month.
At the end of each month, I feel really happy when facing a salary of several thousand yuan. But this salary was exchanged for hard work and sweat, and it was so difficult to think about it in my heart. However, it is not possible not to do it. The family needs expenses, the children need to go to school... etc. Which one does not require money to maintain?
Time is changing quietly, but I didn’t expect that I would be in my early forties in a flash. After the New Year, a call from the company came, and I didn’t have to come to work anymore. She put down the phone blankly and hesitated for a long time, as if she had a dream. She suddenly realized that she could only face this reality helplessly.
I found one job after another, and then I realized that the job was so difficult to find. Either go to a restaurant to clean up the bowl, and the salary is more than 1,000 yuan a month, or go to the block to clean the food, and the salary is pitifully small. In her early forties, she was unwilling to engage in these professions. After all, her previous salary was still good, and a meager salary was not enough to soothe her calm mind.
With the help of her friends, she found a job as a nanny in her home, in a first- and second-tier city, and was caring for an old man in his 70s. When she lived at the old man's house, she truly realized that taking care of people is more difficult than working in a factory, because of this, she didn't know how many tears she had secretly shed in the middle of the night.
When Ms. Li lived at the employer's house, she found that the employer was an elderly person who was difficult to take care of, and she spoke very badly, and always gave a random instruction with a condescending attitude. No matter how well you do, he can pick bones in the eggs and give you a very ugly face.
Ms. Li thought at first that it might be because of unfamiliarity, and slowly getting to know her temper might be better. However, one or two months have passed, and the employer is still like that. Ms. Li finally couldn't bear it anymore and resolutely resigned.
Later, she finally found an approachable employer and changed from an employment relationship to an old friend who respects each other.
Conclusion:
Ms. Li’s initial experience as a nanny tells us: When you apply for a nanny, you will find some clues in the employer’s character during the conversation with your employer. Or maybe you might as well discuss with your employer about a probation period of several days after moving in. If you are really not used to it, you can find another home.
Experience tells us that not every employer can work happily with the nanny. Not every nanny can achieve the ideal state that the employer wants. Readers, have you met or experienced employers that are difficult to take care of? Talk about it.
