Family › Re: What Factors Should A Family Consider When Hiring A Househelp? by ifyalways(f): 9:16pm On Apr 18, 2015
Salary. . . Regardless of the working condition(living in or coming in daily), the salary should be at least 20,000 ngn. Pay them as and when due. Don't deduct money from their salary when they spoil things in the house eg plate.Accidents happen !.

Age. . .minimum of 18 years

Family background. . .Take your time, go and meet the family wherever they stay. Ask people around questions about the family, investigate.

Previous work experience. . .Ask, verify, meet with previous employer and ask questions.

Pictures. . .Take full lenght pictures of your help in various angles, store them in your phone, mailbox and keep har copies.

Security . . .be security conscious. Depends on where u stay, leave FIRM instructions that the help cant and should not step out of the house with your kids without your prior instruction.

Be fair and kind. . .Treat your help as you would treat your OWN child. Don't hoard food from them(they will get even by starving your kids), dont be mean to them, correct them in love, don't use them as slaves. Give them freedom but watch them closely. Give them days off.

Go further. . .show interest in their personal life,goals. Ask them what they want to do in future, encourage them and help if you can. Depending on their age, ask about their relationship,invite and know their partner.

Occasional treats . . .Buying them a gift(no matter how cheap) on their birthdays, taking him or her to a salon for a makeover/hairdo/facials occasionally won't hurt you. Such little favours and acts of love that don't cost much goes a long wayyyyyyy.

Can't deal? Say goodbye. . .If for whatever reason you don't get along,like your help,think your help is a witch/wizard, please pay him or her off and let her/him go.

To paraglide, one needs a really high mountain,cliff and wind cant say which type abeg. My own is to paraglide tongue You'd start by making a GOOD run against the winds on the mountain for a minute or so, your velocity would take your feet off the ground and propel your tandem pilot to take off.

No, not in Naija. The closest place one can get it done around here is Dubai. You need lots of wind, pilots etc to paraglide. No be only APC/PDP winds of change dey Naija. Dat one fit carry person go land for Sambisa forest , biko.

I thank God she's caught and most importantly that we MOTHERS especially, learns and be wise with the choices we make concerning our family.

What would I do?

If I'm close/ real buddy with the colleague, I will draw her aside alone and tell her what I know. However, I will still let her know that the decision to go on or not with the affair is her call and not my business.

I will NEVER tell any other soul aftetwards,. I will enter MYOB mode.

Dear, it was super fun. You are scared of heights? I think paragliding would be just perfert for you. Just once,once you are up there, your fear od heights would disappear. You should try it. Go Efe go.

Me and my lovely pilot Alex. He took me on my very first tandem flight. Nice dude. He has his own paragliding outfit. check it out free advert

ibizgirl:
My dear, N15000 is not too small. They come with 2 sets of clothes, so you cloth them, feed them, buy them toiletries, recharge cards and fix their hair amongst others. They only collect their money when they are leaving. She is just a wicked person who came to that house on a mission.
In 2015 you think food is anything worth mentioning as a favor or act of kindness for anyone,not to mention your domestic staff huh

Abeg,I no dey for this kain discourse.

Food, clothes, toiletries shocked like seriosuly? For someone you leave your kids 10 hours a day, food means that much to you ? cry

Soap,cream of maybe 200 naira a month is a problem? Who would she call with the recharge card/phone if not you and for matters relating to your children?

Like i said,If you can't afford it comfortably, just improvise and find a way to take care of your children. The big madam mentality of getting a help for 15,000 ngn and not treating them fairly is what is leading some of us in trouble.
Family › Re: Orekoyas Update: Pay 13million In 2days Or Lose The Children by ifyalways(f):
I think y'all don't get the point------cheap article especially when it involves our kids,is not worth it in the long run.

I'm sure she got offers that demanded for 25,000 ngn per month or above for salary but nay, she felt " it's too expensive/no be mere house help/wetin she want do/she be graduate?" mentality (that is clearly exhibited on this thread) creeped in and made her settle for less with no reference, due background check etc.

Nigerians ,please we need to stop seeing them as mere house helps! Can you pay your driver 15K? But y'all believe you should pay someone whom you leave your children and entire household(food,drinks,properties) with for almost 10 hours each day less. I don't get it oh. They are not mere house helps, infact, they've got our lives in their palms indirectly, therefore we should start by giving them fair wages, treat them like one of us and stop seeing little things like feeding them,handing them new or our used clothing etc as a big deal cos its NOT.

Expats living in Nigeria all have helps, how many times have we heard their kids are kidnapped? Why ? Cos they do proper checks, go through an employment agency, pay more (which is what it should be) and treat them well. It's not a must to have a help.I mean,if your salary cant comfortably pay your help atleast 25,000 ngn per month then don't get one. Find a creche,improvise or simply stay at home till your children are of school age. Marriage,child rearing comes with compromises and sacrificies. Let's stop cutting corners.
