You know this country is damn hard and everybody can advise me or tell me a thing or two.

I love children, like taking care of them(bathing, feeding and all that)

And old elderly ones too, I love their look so much and always find them amusing and comforting.

I was talking with a friend and he said it could land me a job and it would be a good ideal if I can get an employer who needs a nanny or someone to care for their elderly ones.

I'm a very honest person, from humble home and truthful and I don't have a criminal record. Do you think I can find a job with this description?

Can I make it as a part time career? Or do you think I can get it as a solid job? What are the possible set backs I might face?
Please I need suggestions and advise.

Yes you can make a career out of it. There are quite a number of care homes in Lagos. I guess you can contact them. Just searched Google to see if vacancies for these roles are advertised and saw this http://joblistnigeria.com/criada-multiservices-fresh-vacancies-4-positions.html

Also see the poster I attached. It's definitely a career on its own. All the best!

Wow!

That's pretty cool. You are one heck of a rare gem. While I love both the junior and senior citizens, I find caring for both a tasking process. The never ending " I want to pee, poo and drink water" make me thankful child minding isn't what I do for a living . As if those are what they live for . For the seniors, having to listen to same stories over and over again while pretending the story is fresh is a torture My friend's children and my grandma are legends. I can't imagine taking on a job that makes it my livelihood.

I know a lot of employers are looking for you because only a few genuinely love this. Only a few would love to run after juniors all day keeping them clean, healthy and safe and still asking for more. Only even fewer would enjoy sitting on the laps of the seniors to listen to same stories over and over again let alone being their nanny. You could Google homes for the aged and send a lot of applications. There was even one here at some point. You could do same to crèches around you too.


If you don't have any experience but just love the idea of it biko go and practice a bit. This is to prep you on the yams the job isn't... trust me its a lot of work. Also, because most people see this honourable job as a mere nanny job, the pay is usually low. Unless you get a well established set up to work with, care givers in Naija don't earn much. Of course, most of them end up with people who would eventually take out their lack of financial fulfilment on their wards.

Good luck baby...you're a really nice person.

Look into elderly care it's a gold mine. What experience do you have and where are you based? Old people act like kids sometimes so it's not about only liking them but are you patient enough to handle it, I do volunteer for elderly care and it's rewarding so let me know where you are.

You can look into having a business with Creche and elderly care simultaneously. Parents will be very willing to keep their kids in your Creche if their parents can stay with them.

You should look for jobs entailing such now to garner the needed experience. .

Goodluck

I dont know why but i found this quite funny



It would be good to know if the op has had any real experience taking care of the little and the elderly or if this is just a 'good feeling' she has.
