#5 EPISODE 4: Live-in Nannies (Part One)
--:--
Can you imagine living with your boss?
This is the reality for many live-in nannies in South Africa and, unfortunately, it comes with a dark origin story, which we unpack in this episode of The Nanny Diaries.
We also unpack how this unique working relationship (which is particular to South Africa) has many advantages for both parents and nannies, like increased flexibility and signicantly reduced living expenses (both beneficial for low-income earners like nannies).
We'll also hear from both real nannies who live at their place of employment as well as their employers. The employer-nanny dynamic can be a really loving and positive relationship, but there are some obvious pitfalls, which we discuss.
Many moms struggle with feelings of little to no privacy, and are unsure about how to give negative feedback. Many nannies, meanwhile, miss their homes and are very aware that their place of employment is not their space.
We hope that we can all learn from each other to establish a better working relationship all round. Let us know what you think of the episode? And if you have any questions or comments, please email Sam Steele and the TGE gang at info@thegreatequalizer.co.za.
