Being a nanny is not as easy as imagined, because the job of a nanny is not only hard but also wronged, so the job of a nanny is difficult to do, not something that ordinary people can do, only those who need money very much and have a good mentality can insist on doing it, otherwise they can't do it.
A 55-year-old woman poured out: "It is really difficult to do a live-in nanny, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, but it has to meet many unreasonable requirements of employers." "What exactly is the requirement to be met? Let's take a look at this woman's story.
Ms. Zheng / 55 years old
My surname is Zheng, I am 55 years old, I have a son, a daughter, and now my daughter is also married, but my son is not married, because my family conditions are not good, no house, no car, no money, so no woman is willing to marry my son, and I myself do not have a good job, the salary has been very low, even retired there is no pension, every day to work hard for life, so my life is particularly difficult.
My son also has no ability, although he found a stable job, but the monthly salary is only 5,000, not enough to earn himself to spend, want to save money to marry a wife is simply impossible, and my husband also died early, originally he was the only pillar of this family, but after he left, there was no one to earn money to support the family, life is more and more bitter, can only rely on my salary to maintain life, although the salary is enough to support me alone, But it is impossible to save pension money or to save dowry money for your son.
Originally, after the age of 50, I wanted to reduce my job, but when I saw that my son was not yet married, I did not dare to stop, because I was afraid that after I retired, I would not be able to save the bride price money by my son alone, so I decided to continue to work hard and earn money to marry my son.
But my salary for this job is particularly low, I want to save hundreds of thousands of deposits can not be saved at all, and then I chose to be a nanny, because the nanny's salary is very high, the minimum is 7,000, the highest is more than 10,000, if you can get that high salary every month, you don't have to worry about saving money to marry your son.
Although at this age, I should no longer be a nanny, because I have entered the old age, if I do this hard work again, my body will not be able to bear it, but in order to earn money, I can't help it.
Later, when I went to apply for a career in the nanny industry, many people were reluctant to want it, they all thought that I was too old to do anything, and at that time I was applying for some young employers, so they all hated me in particular, thinking that the older nanny did not like to be clean, and the cooking was not delicious, so they were unwilling to hire me.
Later, I had to apply for care of the elderly, because I could only take care of the elderly at my age, and only those elderly people would hire me, although it was very hard to take care of the elderly, but the salary was very high, so I could only fight for money.
At that time, I did this for five years, and in the past five years, I also saved some money, but it was not enough for my son to get married, and I had to save more than tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house for the bride price.
So I just kept doing it until I saved enough money for my son to get married, which I worked hard for a few years, but the employers I met were very reasonable, so I was quite satisfied with that.
I thought I would always be able to meet good employers, but I didn't expect that at the beginning of this year, I actually met an employer who was difficult to serve, and he had a big temper, and I could see during the interview that he was not a good person to take care of.
But his salary was very high, more than 10,000 yuan every month, and at that time, for the sake of money, I chose to stay, because I had never received such a high salary, and if I could get tens of thousands of yuan of wages every month, then I would be able to save more money, so even if it was difficult for me to do it.
But after taking care of him, I learned that this employer is really difficult to serve, and this 10,000 yuan is not so easy to take, not only to be a live-in nanny, but also to serve him all the time, but also to be on call, for money, at that time I can only endure, after all, being a nanny can not avoid being wronged, so I can not have complaints, I must have a good attitude, so that I can do it for a long time, and I can earn money.
But who knows after a year of doing it, I really can't stick to it, because this employer asks too much, and the requirements he makes are some very unreasonable demands, I can't accept it at all, and I believe that other nannies can't accept it, because no matter how good the mentality, they can't serve this employer.
His request was, first, to get up at 4:00 a.m. every morning to buy groceries.
The employer's side of the market began to sell vegetables at more than 4 o'clock, and the dishes at that time were relatively fresh, so he wanted to eat fresh dishes, and every day he asked me to get up at this point, and if it was too late to buy fresh vegetables, he would deduct my salary.
Second: Helping to pick up his grandchildren and granddaughters every day.
His grandchildren were all studying near his house, and his children were too busy to pick up the children, so he arranged for me to help him pick up his grandchildren every day.
After bringing his grandchildren back, he also had to cook for them to eat, and if they were not happy, they had to be coaxed.
There is also his grandson who also has to pick up, but his grandson's school is particularly far away, and he has to take a half-hour car to pick up every time, and the cost of going back and forth is paid by myself, and the employer does not reimburse a single point.
I also retorted, but the employer did not give me the opportunity to refute it, and said that if I took his high salary, I had to meet his requirements, otherwise I would not be a qualified nanny.
Every time I do these things, I feel very tired, because his grandchildren are particularly naughty and disobedient, always scolding and beating people, and saying that I am a low-level nanny.
And the employer sometimes looks at me, but he never talks about his grandchildren, but instead teaches his grandchildren to scold me.
Third: I can't take a vacation, I can't rest, I have to get up in the middle of the night to make him a supper, and I have to do whatever he asks me to do, and I can't refute it.
Sometimes when I have something, my employer won't let me take a leave of absence, and if I have to ask for it, my employer will deduct half a month's salary, so I don't dare to ask for anything every time.
And I can't rest every day, because my employer has to eat supper every night, and I have to get up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and sometimes I can't sleep when I get up, so I am also energetic during the day.
Slowly, my body has become more and more haggard, people are much older, but the employer will not be distressed, will only feel that everything I do is deserved, and he often scolds me in front of his relatives and friends, or humiliates me, does not give me any dignity, and does not treat me as an adult, so I am really tired of doing it in his home, in the face of his unreasonable demands, I am more tired, and then I really can't stick to it, I chose to resign.
Although I am very short of money, I really can't earn this money, these requirements are too much, and it is not a human thing at all.
So I think quitting is the most correct choice, although after resigning we can find a job with such a high salary, but I don't have to be wronged, and I don't have to be scolded by others all day.
Conclusion
If the employer goes too far, he really won't meet a good nanny again, no one will be willing to take care of him in the future, no matter how much money there is, it is useless, and others will not do it without respecting others.
So I hope that employers do not go too far, otherwise it is themselves who regret it.
