"My house is exactly like this. Off every second weekend. I don't eat eggs for an example, neither is my little one but we buy them. We go out on vacations with nanny, she doesn't like flying so this year she asked us to celebrate little ones birthday here. She is allowed those decisions."

"I used to give my nanny that privilege and give her random offs. I have been transformed😩."

precious .mojapelo

I used to have a nanny who had all the freedom. When I am off she was off. she used to come in 14 days a month 😭😭😭 she ended up coming to work at 12 just because there is someone in the house and sometimes she will just decide not to come to work without saying anything and then nna i have to be absent from work because I won’t be having anyone to take care of the baby😭😭. Am I wrong for letting her go."

Sekgopo Makhafola shared thoughts on the video:

"I thought this is the Normal working environment for every helper/nanny. Well my circle does this for their helpers so I thought it’s normal."
