If possible, none. But if I must pick one to let peace reign, then it would rather be a baby-sitter. Though wifey might raise objections due to the average age of baby-sitters as most of them are mature ladies and I can't be very sure of what temptation might lead a man to but it's a No-No for househelps, I can't stand how wives threat those young girls badly.
Everyone has a breaking point and surely the revenge will be on your loved children.

No. most babysitters are young girls who just need some spare cash to assist their education. Like university girls that take up ushering jobs

Anaskie:
I'd opt for none.

If my wife is too busy to take care of the baby and none of my relatives are around to help out, I'd simply drop the baby at a creche and pick him up on my way back from work.

They usually have dedicated babysitters who feed, bathe and change the dirty diapers. They even have a mini-clinic manned by trained nurses in case of an emergency. Furthermore, my baby will have a chance to 'socialize' with other babies.

Its a win-win situation. We get to continue with our busy schedule and our baby still gets taken care of.
Far better than letting a total stranger come into my house in the name of taking care of my baby. The stories I've been hearing recently of housemaids/babysitters kidnapping and maltreating little children is scaring me silly.

it would amaze you what most creches do. Sometimes the number of staff to kids is 1 to 8 and I'm sure you know kids need full attention because you never can tell why they are crying.

I understand the problem of security as it is hard to let a stranger into your home and leave her unsupervised but what if you have a CCTV? I think I will feel better knowing my kid is at home.

Besides there's gonna be a very high level of profiling.

Chillisauce:
if relatives are not around, and the day care is closed, i can at least ask my neighbours depending on how long i will take. If all fails, i will have to cancel the impromptu meeting and take a fix date.

Not everyone can ask their neighbours. Some people are very sensitive about placing their burdens on others or inconveniencing people no matter how close they are

Chillisauce:
Nigerians are one of the most selfish people on earth.

Get a babysitter whose job is to take care of anything concerning the baby. <Like feeding, nap, sleep,change of clothe and provide what is required for her to do the job.
Here, you find the househelps take care of baby, go to market, wash plates, grind beans for moi moi, laundry etc, only one person. And you dont think the person is supposed to have a breaking point? Which will be later transferred to the child.

If you want a baby sitter, get one and let her job be on just the baby. You want a housemaid, get one and let her job be taking care of the house.

Some stay at home mum sacrifice a lot to achieve these but they know the kids are theirs, not subjecting a total stranger to 18hrs hardship all in the name of employment.

I hope im still on topic

Yes you are still on topic. What most women want is someone to assist with the housework but because the husbands won't agree they now change it to 'I need someone to take care of the kids'.

I know a couple whose husband was against bringing a housemaid but when the wife started bringing up the issue of a needing a help to take care of the kid he accepted but on the condition that she never cooks his food.

I think if we had babysitters, it would reduce the conflict between couples on the housemaid issue.

Gelco:
Only if there's absolutely no other option i.e nobody to look after my baby and I really need to leave her behind, knowing it's not for the whole day. Other than that I don't think I can leave my baby with a babysitter "trusted", "verified" or not.

Yes I'm talking of where relatives are unavailable and you probably have an impromptu meeting and the daycare is even closed.

If there was a TRUSTED babysitters agency in Nigeria will you opt for babysitters or housemaids?

For those who don't know who babysitters are, they are young girls (mostly college or high school students) between the ages of 18-23 who take care of your kids for a number of hours depending on how long you will be out.

So which will you opt for and why? please I need your opinions.

Please also note the emphasis on TRUSTED

Will tolutweety, lero15 and other male folks appear in the pictures?

I have a problem with that already

Lool. Now I see

okzcorp:

Oya come go party na make I see

Hahahaha. dragnet ko pullfish ni. You will see the pictures na, wait and see.

okzcorp:
You didn't get a PERMIT, your LICENSE to party is outdated and needs to be reviewed.

Don't make me come after you with an INJUNCTION restraining you from partying.

PERMIT from? last I checked all documents were still up to date.

Besides I got an invite and that's all that matters

okzcorp:
Tolutweety....How old is our friendship?

Kindly expunge cocolav from that list.

Thanks my friend as you do so.

What's your own now? Tolu if I don't attend you know who caused it

davide470:
Always the introvert. There's a "No Refusal" mandate on every mail received by Tolu.

Hahahaha. This has nothing to do with my personality. I'm actually not much of a planner especially social events.

Urine:
You're welcome. Yes it is, PhD is after masters.

Okay. Thanks.

tolutweety:
....And Unfortunately, the Answer to the question lies in s.cryp.t doing the NEEDFUL.
Only then will i be able to answer correctly why you should say 'YES'

Lool. You are mischievous.

Please don't include me in any committee oo, am not much of a planner.

Urine:
If you have a Masters in a discipline you don't need a postgraduate diploma. Let's say you have a First degree in Law and would love to have a Masters in Computer Science, you will need to first get a PGD before being admitted for a Masters programme.

In some cases, folks that graduate with a third class might need to get a PGD before being admitted for a Masters.

Thank you so much.

tolutweety:
It takes sheer creativity to be able to copy and pass in an exam...
I want to believe they should be more applauded than those who read n prepare for the exam sef

@scrypt : Oya...see FREE PASS ! Do the Needful

That wasn't a free pass , I only asked a question.

tolutweety:

Hello dear,
No waste the guy skills, just say 'YES' Abeg!
You don't wanna keep a guy like this waiting for long...*whispers into her ear: The guy na hotcake for dem ladies o*

Lol. He didn't ask any question so what am I saying 'YES' to?

Scrypt:
Which is more interesting? The fact that I find it charming or that letters from your carefully crafted words transcends the ordinary and goes through wavelengths to enchant another? .

Hahahahaha. Now I see why tolutweety took a pen and paper, you are good with words.

I think both are interesting

Scrypt:
Lol... It's written all over your posts.


Tolutweety, the legend of lyrics, taking notes? Pictures or......You know the rest.

And you can tell its charming from my posts....interesting!

Scrypt:
I am afraid of falling under the strong enchantments of your charming smile. .

Hmmmn!

When have you seen me smile?

Scrypt:
That would be two in two hundred. . Lol. Errrrrr, fortunately, I would miss the party or whatever is shall be classified as.

Why fortunately? what are you afraid of?

veevean1:
