My nanny

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. The problem of our nanny is a difficult book to read. Speaking of nannies, we have to start from ten years ago. Seeing that our child will be born in more than a month, our parents are over 70 years old and in poor health, and there is nothing we can do about it. For this reason, we are anxious like ants on hot bricks, looking for someone to look for a nanny everywhere.

The first nanny is a country girl of 17 years old, who looks simple and honest. The little girl doesn't talk much and works very fast. We leave the shopping to the nanny, so we don't have to rush to the market after work. It was really a lot easier, which made my husband and wife happy for a while.

One day, my wife whispered to me, "This nanny at home is not reliable."

I am puzzled: "This little girl is doing very well. She is honest and hardworking. "

The wife opened the refrigerator and said, "I bought fifteen ice creams and five ice creams last night." Where did I go today? " Neither you nor I ate. "

I suddenly blindsided: "Yes! No relatives have come these days. Is it her ... impossible? "

My wife gave me a white look and went straight to the nanny's room without saying a word. I saw the little girl lying in bed with a miserable face. We rushed her to the hospital. The doctor's diagnosis made my husband and wife laugh and cry. It turned out to be a little girl's mouth. It's strange that she eats twenty frozen foods a day without nausea. To this end, I am very busy, on the one hand, I have to take care of my wife in labor, on the other hand, I have to take care of my little babysitter who has acute gastroenteritis. I'm afraid something will happen to her in our house. I have to tell her parents. After a week of tossing and turning, we were exhausted and miserable ourselves.

What disappoints us even more is that letting the little girl buy food or things always takes some money from it, which makes us lose a lot after one month. In fact, we paid her a lot of money. I didn't expect her to be so slippery at such a young age. In desperation, we had to resign and find someone else.

The second nanny is a close relative of his wife's friend. Because she worked in a restaurant for a while, she was good at cooking, which made us sit up and take notice. To our surprise, this nanny is even smoother than the last one. When the master is at home, she is very attentive and has a sweet mouth. We told her about housework, and she readily agreed, but when we came to work, she either ran out to play, called or watched TV. She didn't wash the rice and vegetables until we got home. Because of our friend's face, we had to bear the humiliation and let her work for half a month.

We still have to hire a nanny. Drawing lessons from the previous two times, we hired an old lady in her fifties. Considering that the elderly have more experience in caring for children, they can work with peace of mind and will not be as playful as young people.

Sure enough, our analysis is correct. Grandma has worked in our family for more than four years. As the children grow up, grandma's workload becomes less and less. We usually buy food and cook by ourselves. In her spare time, grandma chats with other nannies in the community, and her heart becomes more and more unbalanced. Maybe she thinks our salary is too low. To tell the truth, other nannies have high salaries, but the workload is more than our grandmother's, and the conditions of food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as good as those given by our family.

On the morning of the first Monday of the new year, grandma suddenly offered to resign. At the beginning of the year, the husband and wife were the busiest at work, but left without saying goodbye at the crucial moment, which made us at a loss, so we had to ask our elderly parents to take turns to pick up and drop off our children in kindergarten temporarily.

Seeing that the child is going to have a winter vacation, in a hurry, with the help of the child's aunt, we invited a fourth nanny. This time, we talked about all the conditions in advance, but it didn't last long. This middle-aged woman is a little impatient. She treats her children in extreme ways and often beats and curses. In order not to cause unnecessary harm to her young psychology, we politely resigned the fourth nanny at home after the child started school.

The fifth nanny is his wife's elder sister-in-law, and we are very dusty to take her home from the countryside. The old man's children are all older, and he is happy to give up farm work at home and come to the city to help his relatives pick up their children and take care of them. Perhaps because of blood relationship, my elder sister-in-law gets along well with our family.

In a blink of an eye, our children went to the third grade of primary school, and our elder sister-in-law worked in our home for four years. Her youngest nephew was born, and she was going back to take on the duties of grandma, reluctantly parting with us and returning to her hometown.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to meet each other, but difficult to leave for a long time. Now that our children have grown up and no longer employ nannies, we gradually realize the true meaning of this difficult book from the ups and downs of life.

Editor's note: There is no distinction between high and low work, but there is quality.
