How do Americans raise their babies without househelps unlike Nigerian girls and women that seem to want a househelp at slightest instinct? Personally I don't know.
Any responses, any experience?

Money!


You can get a house help! Contracts littering the web if you can afford it!

And several illegal immigrants ready to do same job for you for peanuts

It all depends on where you personally stand!

Theirs is called Nanny.

They uses Drones who knows?

Nawa.


Anyway the key word here is help, their own help can come in form of a nanny, creche housekeeper abi what do they call them and most importantly the spouse.

Nanny services seem to be quite costly there unlike here, that might also seem to be a factor not that some don't need it, by the time they calculate the fees, they may just decide to find a way to take care of the baby themselves.

So both spouses put their hands on deck to take care of the baby and the chores over there unlike here which most times the wife will still have to do all by herself thereby necessitating the need for help

And the environment is different, its a very big factor.

I mean, you see many videos of parents taking care of their own kids. It's not like they have some kid our adult to help them out. Most times that's the case and it's true. And they live ok. Just a few may have day time nannies. But Nigerians can't do without somebody's daughter.

The social set up is entirely different.

Who told you they don't use help.
They are called babysitters

You haven't heard of baby seater before?

They engage nannies who most times do not live in with them but have specific time to do the work.

You just ignorant that's all

Parents in society you referred to use other people's help too.

But I get it. Some people gets some special kind of joy painting Nigeria or black people bad.

It may not be so at all. I think you are using your experiences to judge them. I think most of them grow their children all by themselves unlike Nigerians.
See all those funny baby videos online. You do not see any third parties in the family life.

Engage your spouse in child raising.
Use Nannies and babysitters.
And don’t work everyday of the week.
That’s the only way I’m surviving.

Even then, It’s still tough.

Umm you don’t expect people to record their workers and post online. They’ll sue you if they didn’t consent to that.

I think we should make concerted research on this and discover more from the research.

Because it will be a good thing if Nigerians can raise their kids without househelps.

Babysitters

it’s because their parents don’t want to show the face of the nanny. Beyonce and all other celebrities do not move around with their nannies. Nannies are at home taking care of the kids

That's why when you go there, culture shock will drive you to go and live in the razz part of obodo oyibo because you are so ignorant.

Op people are telling you they have nannies/babysitters over there, yet you're insisting on being ignorant, what is wrong with you

In America, the government give mothers monthly allowance for babies up to a certain age, so they can afford to raise their kids while they work from home or do a less demanding job. In Nigeria, that is a rich oil producing country, you have to hustle to eat. Although, if the Nigerian government decides to pay mothers, some guys will take it as a new business.

Who told you dey don't? What are baby sitters for?

Nannies and Baby sitters nko.

They work based on time
No b naija wey house girl go dey stay with you to dey use anyhow

What nanny? Forget what you see on TV. Nannies are only for the very very few.
American parents are super parents, especially their mothers.

This is not the picture in the average American home at all at all. Americans typically do not use househelps.

Aremu01:

Babysitters are for occasions not daily use..

Na lie! The average American home knows nothing about nannies.

May be as far as you can see. Make enquiries. There are companies contracting househelps. You will even find Nigerian househelps on their sites.

Though they call it house keepers, you can just use to Google search "Housekeepers near me"

the many reason is poverty, some parents send their kids to be look after or actuall working for someone

lets be breakdown

In africa there is always a distance relative or friend of relative that is disadvantaged and needing help.
Find househelp jobs is empowerment they get unfortunately mosty are under 18 girls and boys who ended up getting abused in 3!ways
1 while they get shelter and food they dont get help in getting back to skol
etc
2 they get underpaid if not none at all
3 how can grown up couple employ a under 18 child?

Those who employ they dont see nothing wrong with these cycle

Have you ever wonder why most of these house help are under 18s it means someone is taking advantage of them

in the west laws are very strict no employment of underage, the economy is better less disadvantaged people to use as house helps (under 18)
cases of abuse makes people do background checks etc

most people are gainly employed there is less room take advantage of each other

if you take away poverty and unemployement you will find that these underage
househelp
will disappear

1. This has nothing to do with what my eyes can be but a survey of the average American household which still holds true even today.

Just because companies exists to contract househelps or housekeepers does not imply the majority of families utilize househelps/housekeepers here in America..
