Last summer vacation, my employer introduced my daughter to Shanghai for an internship, and she lived in my upper bunk. Our mother and daughter became roommates in the upper bunk. Our daughter went to college for graduate school, and we rarely stayed together for such a long time. We talked about everything at night, and we were roommates for three months. We still miss the days when we had roommates.
I would also like to thank my employer for giving my daughter an internship in Shanghai, so as to save an experience for her future work.
I have a good sister named Xiaorong. She works as a live-in nanny in Shanghai. Her husband runs a company in her hometown and her daughter is in junior high school. Xiaorong has a separate room in his employer's house. There is an air conditioner, a table, a bed, a bedside table and a wardrobe in the room.
She gets up at 5:00 every morning and works until noon. After noon 12, she can go back to her room to rest. Going back to her room, taking out her mobile phone, lying in bed, and videotaping with her husband is the happiest time of her day.
After a two-hour break at noon, I continued to work. There was no one at home during the day, but their home was monitored. As long as Xiaorong was working, she wouldn't play with her mobile phone and kept working.
At 9:00 p.m., Xiaorong gave her employer's child a bath, gave it to her mother, and then bathed herself and went back to her room. The first thing to do when I go back to my room is to turn on my mobile phone and video with my daughter, who is in junior high school in her hometown. Xiaorong will video with her every day and ask her what she ate and how her homework was done. Xiaorong looked at her daughter and husband in bed, and the fatigue of the day was gone.
When I was a live-in nanny, I also had my own room. Unlike Xiaorong, my employer's children also slept with me. I can only take out a book to read after putting the child to sleep, because there was no smart phone at that time, and I read a novel every night before going to bed. Only in the dead of night can I have my own time. Now I miss the days when I was a live-in nanny.
After a busy day, I feel particularly warm when I live in my own small room. Although I know that room doesn't belong to me, it belongs to me at that moment.
Question: Do all live-in nannies have separate rooms?
My answer is: Yes, most live-in nannies have their own small rooms. They worked all day and lay in their own small room, which was the happiest moment. Although that room is not your own, it is your own when you lie in bed. In that small room, nannies have their own world, they can video chat with their families and do what they like. The time in that small room is really wonderful!
I used to work as a live-in nanny in two families. The first family's family condition was not very good. I didn't have a separate room. My employer only prepared a folding bed for me. I slept with backache every day, and there were many housework to do the next day.
The employer and his wife are teachers in our town. One child lives on campus and comes back once every two weeks. There is also a grandmother at home, who is over 70 years old and in poor health. I mainly cook and clean up the housework for her.
This is my first job, which was introduced by my aunt. When I knew that there was no separate room, I actually didn't want to do it. I didn't have a good rest at night, so how could I work the next day? But the family kept me, and my aunt asked me to stay, so I crustily skin of head and stayed.
I have to work every day, and my grandmother always thinks that I have earned their money, so I will keep working like a top. Their money will not be wasted, and I will sleep in my grandmother's house at night. The quality of this bed is not good, and I will squeak when I turn over. My grandmother will say, Don't turn over, it will affect my sleep. I dare not turn over every night, and my back hurts.
In this family, there is not only no separate room, but also the food is not good. I can't eat any dishes with animal products. Fruits are bought by the individual. Only the employer's son comes back to buy fruits. My grandmother and I are porridge, steamed bread and pickles at home, or clear soup and dried noodles.
It's not that I'm greedy, but I'm a young man after all, and I have to do housework, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, I'm listless every day, and my grandmother keeps nagging me. When I watch my mobile phone before going to bed, she will say, you might as well clean the kitchen again if you have time.
Less than a month ago, I couldn't bear it anymore. I asked my employer to resign. When the employer asked me why, I said directly, if I can't eat well and live well, I will have problems, and my grandmother is too nagging. I can't see that I am free for a while. I didn't come to get money for nothing. I worked and did a lot.
By the end of the month, my employer paid me reluctantly and asked me if I really couldn't hold on. I said no, so I packed my bags and left.
It didn't take long for me to go to the second employer's house through the housekeeping company. This employer was rich and nice. I washed a lot of fruits for me to eat on the day I went, and told me that I needed to do simple housework, mainly cooking for my grandmother, chatting with her, and preparing a separate room for me.
As soon as I heard that there was a separate room, I was very happy. At least I could have my own space. The female employer showed me my room, with a single bed, a wardrobe and a writing desk. The mattress and sheets on the bed were all new. I think this family is really nice.
The employer said that you don't know whether you like to sleep hard or soft. You should try it tonight and change it if you don't think it's appropriate. I quickly waved my hand and said no, which is already very good.
Every night, after I finished my work and put my grandmother to sleep, I went back to my room to lie down after I washed myself. I felt really happy, lying in bed, quiet, and the fatigue of the day disappeared. I watched my mobile phone for a while, chatted with my little sisters and went to bed.
The subject asked: Do nannies have separate rooms?
My answer is: not everyone has a separate room. For example, when I was a live-in nanny for the first time, I didn't have a separate room, only a folding bed, and I shared a room with the old man. The old man slept lightly, and I was told when I turned over, and I didn't have a good rest. I was very tired, and I resigned soon.
My second employer prepared a separate room for me. I worked as a live-in nanny in their house for two years. I ate well and slept well, so I was full of energy and didn't feel tired when I worked every day.
I think as a live-in nanny, it is still necessary to have a separate room. After all, I am very tired after a day's work. Only when I have a good rest can I do my next day's work well. Moreover, the nanny also needs an independent space. She can do her own thing in her own room. She can lie down if she wants and sleep if she wants, so she doesn't have to be so formal.
Whether a live-in nanny has a separate room depends on what kind of person she takes care of.
After my mother was paralyzed by Alzheimer's disease, she hired a nanny. When my father was alive, the old couple lived together. The nanny was a separate room. At night, my mother got up at night, and it was all my father. Nanny cooks and cleans during the day and is free at night.
Later, my father got sick and couldn't hold my mother. So I hired two nannies at home, one during the day and one at night. The nanny hired at night shared a room with my parents, and was responsible for them getting up at night. During the day, they were hourly workers, responsible for lunch and cleaning.
After my father died, the nanny I hired lived in a room with my mother for easy care.
My aunt lives alone, and now she also employs a nanny. She can take care of herself. She is determined not to share a room with the nanny. The nanny is a separate room. The nanny accompanies her during the day and lives in her own room at night!
Whether there is a separate room or not, doing your duty is a good nanny!
I used to be a housekeeping agency, and I met a lot of customers asking this kind of questions.
Looking for a nanny usually depends on when a client will hire someone. Some people are looking for a new moon, which is also called nurse practitioner. The difference between a nanny and a child-rearing sister-in-law is that one focuses on housework and the other focuses on babies under 3 years old.
If you are on a new moon, you are usually in the same room with the mother, a bed, the baby sleeping in the middle, and two adults sleeping on both sides. You can observe the mother and the baby at any time in the evening of the new moon. If you have any problems, she can get up at any time to help. But only for one month, three months, six months at the most. There is no need to prepare a separate room in this place, unless the mother asks not to let strangers sleep next to her and arrange another room.
Parenting sister-in-law usually takes several months or more. They have been in high spirits all day with their baby, which is very tiring. Most customers will prepare a room for the child-rearing sister-in-law. The child-rearing sister-in-law has been used for a long time, and they don't want to change people when they meet the right child-rearing sister-in-law. Will do better in the treatment, so that they can stay more smoothly. But there are also customers, and there are not so many rooms at home, so they will build a camp bed. Such a family, even if the customer asks her to do it for a few years, usually does not do it for a long time. I can't sleep well at night and have no sense of belonging. They will take the initiative or contact us to change their homes.
Be prepared to change people all the time, whether it's a baby-raising sister-in-law or a nanny without a bedroom. In order not to change people frequently, it is better to prepare a room.
Answer: Does the live-in nanny have a separate room? My answer is, it depends on whether you take care of yourself, the elderly or the elderly who don't take care of themselves. If you take care of the elderly who take care of themselves, you will have a separate room. If you take care of the elderly who don't take care of themselves, you will have to share a room with this old man to take care of this elderly who doesn't take care of themselves, including getting up in the middle of the night and getting up at night. You have to follow this employer all the time to serve such elderly who take care of themselves, and the salary is relatively high. The salary is a little lower. Under normal circumstances, nannies with better conditions have their own rooms. If you go to this employer's house, if the conditions are average, there will definitely be no independent room. If you want to live in a room with your employer, the average employer doesn't want the nanny to live in a room with her, because everyone needs a personal space. I have worked as a live-in nanny, and I have lived in a room with my employer when I have a room, and I have lived in a room without a room. As long as there is a place to sleep! Now the living conditions are all good, and they live in spacious rooms. Since people can afford a nanny, the conditions are all good. The nanny must have a separate room. Except for the elderly who can't take care of themselves by hiring a nanny, he needs you to accompany him and watch him 24 hours a day. If people don't need someone, if they don't need someone to take care of them, they will ignore the nanny and work for whom. As long as they do their job well, this is the last word.
I have been a nanny for more than half a year, and I also have my own room, air conditioning, bedside table and a big wardrobe. My job is to have three meals a day and clean in different districts, and occasionally pick up and drop off children from school. My employer's family is a family of five, and I live in a villa. I didn't ask for a big cleaning. To be honest, cleaning, washing and cooking are really tiring, but because I am a rural person, this is acceptable. I have my own space and can have a good rest.
Babysitters take care of their employers. Generally speaking, the population is not too large, and they all have their own rooms. Except for special 24-hour elderly people who need care.
When I was a nanny for the first time, I didn't know anything. The female employer asked me to take care of the children. I didn't take care of the children either, so I followed them in a daze. I was glad that so many employers only took a fancy to myself!
The employer's home is a building in the middle, with two floors, each floor is about 160 square meters. There are two bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen and bedroom are very big, and the living room is also very big. There are slides and swings, and a bathroom. Both the employer and her daughter live on the second floor. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The bedroom on the second floor is also very big.
The employer requires that their house be cleaned once a day, and the second floor and stairs should be wiped on their knees with a rag. Wear a glove when you brush the toilet, put your hand into it with a steel ball and clean it all. The whole house is cleaned once a week. Because they have children at home, they are afraid of cockroaches and bugs. And the mop should be twisted dry and wet before mopping the floor.
I cook children's three meals a day, because she knows I haven't done it, so she brought me many books on children's recipes, so that I can study them when I have time. Children should use olive oil for cooking, and four kinds of vegetables should be guaranteed in each meal. Vegetables should be scalded with boiling water before frying.
In the morning, children drink soybean milk, in which black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds should be put, sesame seeds should be put in the microwave oven, and three walnuts and three dates should be put. Noon noodles should be made with sparerib soup. Children don't drink boiled water, but drink fruit juices, such as apple juice, tomato juice and strawberry juice. Make sure your child has one or two eggs a day.
Children should take a bath twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed at night. Children's clothes should be changed at any time, and children's dirty clothes should be washed by hand. When the child takes a nap at noon every day, she should sing children's songs behind her back to accompany her to sleep, and the baby's bottle should be disinfected before going to bed every day. Also, the mobile phone should be placed in the living room when sleeping every day, saying that the mobile phone has radiation.
In fact, when my employer told me, I kept seeing flowers, and I felt that my mind was a mess, too much, and I couldn't remember it.
On the first day, she and her mother-in-law stood there watching me mop the floor. I worked hard, and soon I was sweating. They both nodded with a smile to show their satisfaction. They feel that they are not mistaken about others and are honest masters.
I get up after five o'clock every morning, cook, clean, bathe, dress and feed my children, and take them out at nine o'clock on time. One-year-old and two-month-old children feel very tired when they walk. They want to go back at eleven o'clock. The old lady thinks I'm back early, so I have to go back at twelve o'clock, and then hum nursery rhymes to carry her to bed. She falls asleep. I hurry to eat, wash dishes, and then make meals for the children. Sometimes the children wake up before they are ready. After feeding her, the old lady urges me to take them out.
.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon at night, looking forward to her mother's work, I can have a rest, but her mother is very energetic and will take us out to buy food, drink and clothes when she comes back. Her mother's legs are so long and she runs so fast that I'm too tired to catch up with her child in her arms.
Once, she took me to Hang Lung International to buy things, and went round and round. From the first floor to the fourth floor, I was really tired. When I got off the elevator, my legs went soft and I rolled down with my child in my arms. Fortunately, the child was fine and her mother was not there.
When I got home, I gave my child a bath before going to bed. After the child took a shower and went to sleep, I began to wash my child's wet wipes by hand, and I changed my three clothes and socks inside and out. Then go to the kitchen to sterilize the bottle. It will be eleven o'clock when everything is finished.
I'm really tired. My arms hurt and my legs hurt every day. I don't have a separate room yet. I sleep in the same bed with the old lady. At night, the old lady is rough and snores. I can't even put toilet paper in both ears when I snore.
When it was almost dawn, I fell asleep, and suddenly I felt that I was shaking badly under my body. When I opened my eyes, it turned out that the old lady saw that I hadn't woken up at six o'clock, so she shook the mattress hard, and when she saw that I woke up, she went out without talking.
Later, when I took my children out to play in Little Square, I realized that their family had hired more than a dozen nannies, ranging from 2,800 to 3,000, and they only gave me 2,000. I was very indignant and felt that my kindness had been fooled.
I offered to resign, and both my employer and her mother-in-law were very surprised, saying that they couldn't bear to leave me. After I went, their children gained two kilograms, from 26 kilograms to 28 kilograms after I went.
They asked me if I was too tired or too underpaid, and said that everything was negotiable. I could clean the second floor once every three days or once a week when I was tired, and I was given an extra 500 yuan. I said that I couldn't do anything at home, and then when my employer left, I said that I had to pay an extra 10 yuan, and I hoped that I would take care of my family affairs before going.
Later, for the same 2,000 yuan, I went to the second employer's house to take care of the children. His children are over two years old and don't need to be hugged. In the morning, her husband went to exercise and didn't eat, and her son wanted to sleep. I simply boiled some eggs and mixed the same cold salad, so the three of us managed to have breakfast, and we didn't have to get up so early. They didn't get up until eight or nine o'clock.
When I got up in the morning and had nothing to do, I cleaned the yard and the gate. The mother of the child said that it was not my job, it was a worker's job, so I was told not to do it, but I felt that I was idle and dragged all the steps on the first floor.
At noon, the mother will take care of the baby, and I will cook and eat at twelve o'clock. I can go back to my room to rest after I finish packing.
To my gratitude, they gave me a separate room on the first floor with air-conditioned TV, wardrobe, coffee table and sofa. Every afternoon, I rest from one o'clock to four o'clock, and when the children are up, I take them out to play. Cooking at six o'clock, after dinner, his mother and father took the children shopping, so I was fine and went out to exercise and walk alone.
If they have anything delicious, such as walnuts and watermelons, please send me some.
Most importantly, I have my own room, so I can go out and buy my favorite fruits and snacks, put them on my desk and watch TV while eating. I can call my husband and friends loudly without any constraints. I feel like I'm at home, so I can laugh as much as I want.
The subject asked, do all live-in nannies have separate rooms? My answer is not necessarily, like my first employer, whose family has four rooms, but she is reluctant to give me a room. She said that her mattress is very expensive, 10,000 yuan, so she is reluctant to sleep for me. Although the room given to me by my second employer is made of colored steel tiles, I finally have a space of my own, and I can relax freely in my own world at night.
So with the experience of being a nanny for the first time and the second time, I always ask if I have my own room, even a few square meters, before I go to the house. If not, I won't go no matter how good the conditions are. Because of a tired day, I really want to have my own space to relax.
About twenty years ago, I worked as a live-in nanny for more than a year. My employer's family has three bedrooms and two halls, and I have my own room. My employer's family is a retired grandfather, who is in good health and has a regular schedule. Every morning, my grandfather goes out to exercise, comes home before eight o'clock, eats at eight o'clock on time, eats at noon 12 o'clock and at five o'clock in the evening, and I don't have to take care of the room at other times. It was there for more than a year that I had time to go to computer training classes and learn office software. Up to now, I can't work without the encouragement and support of my grandfather and their families. I am particularly grateful to this family. Although my grandfather has been dead for many years, I have always been in contact with my grandfather's uncle and aunt. At that time, only my grandfather and I lived together, my grandfather's son and daughter-in-law occasionally came to dinner, and my uncle and aunt were also very polite. Every time I come over for dinner, I will contact me in advance and tell me that they will come over for dinner. After dinner, I will be invited to go out for a walk and play badminton with them. Sometimes I will meet their relatives or friends on the road, and others will ask, Hey, who is this? They will tell me that these relatives and friends are relatives of our family, and they have never treated me as a little babysitter, so I am particularly grateful.
