wellmax: You mean

aisha2:

MEN not I said MEN not boys are not dogs. They respect themselves and their bodies and dont just pounce on any female close by.
Men have standards, women should Marry MEN and not boys

numericalguy:
If men are dogs, it goes to show that:-
your father is a dog
your brothers are dogs
your husband is a dog
your son is a dog
your uncles are dogs
your male cousins are dogs
in short all the males in your village are all dogs

ITbomb: Live in preferred but must be above 40 years and ugly

You asked what works for us you didnt ask for scary stories, some of us have no stories to share, we cant manufacture it to feed your fear.
I was thinking you were looking for realistic practical advice I think I know wherethis all is going lol

^{Feminist things, at the end poster will bring out the scary stories and say allwomen should stay home and care for their kids, how is that your niece copying with her hatred for feminists after seeing a "feminist" church lady in a married mans hotel?}

You make me laugh or are you naive. In terms of skirt issue, everyman is a boy. Just dont play with a tiger whether alive or dead. Protect your own in what ways you can and not on the assumption that my husband is a "man" and not a "boy". A word is enough for the wise

Gold45: I prefer live in any day. Even if the nanny is trying to do something they don't like to them, they will be able to resist or say no more when they are in their own home than in a daycare. They know where the phone is to call me or daddy should anything go wrong. There are friendly and nosy neighbours around who will let me know if my baby cries unnecessarily when I'm gone. As for child abuse, its not limited to only day care centres. There are many stories of nannies that abuse the children when no one is at home.

I started working as a live in nanny/ sleep over nanny at 19yrs.(The mum works shifts as a doctor). The law was simple, no boyfriends, smoking, drinking or immoral acts in the house. I had my own insurance. I ate with the family, I got hired through an agency and had to provide 3 references which were thoroughly checked. The equivalent of what I was paid is roughly $1600 monthly (considering the amount of inflation between now and then)

Age isn't what matters but strength and experience. All things being equal, I'll prefer someone between 18-36 provided she agrees to my rules

Hope this helps

Nawa for you sef. U be God that sees future? LoL! You don already siddon for ya house sabi where the thread will go in future. I SMH for some people sha. No wonder dem say Mind-reading cause more problems in relationships.
Me think this is a very matured, family-friendly thread. Every working parent, at some point, will have to make these decisions whether they like it or not. so cool down sista, make we learn abeg.

aisha2: Live in? No, resume at 6.30 close at 6.30 when we are back from work, we dont need a live in, we can care for our child by ourselves when we get home.

Hiring? By recommendations, terms of employment clear, stipends clear and fair.


No feeding and accomodation for me because you no go stay in my house, I have a Nanny Cam to ensure everything goes on well.

Friends and visitors during working hours? No, do that on your own time when you close.

Boyfriend? Her life, her choices, she is an employee not a slave, same way I wouldnt work somewhere that regulates when I can marry or have babies.


Age bracket? 18 years and above or 16 years if she is done with school. Nothing less than that

Infinitegrace: I like your suggestion.please how do I get the Nanny Cam? Does it work without Electricity?

aisha2: You can check security gadget shops, not all need electricity, some work with batteries. Just put it somewhere that would capture whats going on.

Louislewis: You were born to train and take care of your child. Stop looking for someone to enslave in the name of nanny or daycare. Avoid the mistakes you are bound to make by doing so now, than regretting later when it will be late. Women don't be lazy!

Godmystrength: What if you have to go to work as a woman? Are you saying working women are lazy?
If you see daycare are slavery, then that means we shouldn't even send our children to school o. Abi why can't we teach our child and stop looking for someone to enslave in the name of teachers and lecturers.... What will i not hear on NL.....

aisha2: Lmao, I no talk am? When the poster dey find horror stories wetin remain? Yes oh, super mothers like you have 10 children and home school them to university level, Lazy Nairaland women with una feminist agenda, go home and take care of ya shildrens

yomickey: My honest opinion is none.

If you have the means, take care of your children yourself or get their grand parents or close family.
