I have three kids and I have always used nannies up till they start school at a year and a half ,issues finding a good nanny.
They always have a BUT my current nanny is lazy,but big advice don't employ any akwa ibom or calabar maid or nanny,they are just so mean and heartless.Your best bet is Benue or Ogoja.


But I did get some good tips on finding a good nanny from a blog

she talks about qualities of a good nanny

My dear I know the qualities of a good nanny ....the issue is finding one.
A good nanny should love your kids genuinely ,she must be honest, hardworking ( not lazy like mine) and she should be respectful no matter her age.

But we have to also be realistic in terms of what we expect from nannies and maids, dont expect mary poppins
I read about a few good tips in choosing a good nanny from a blog recently

To be honest the more educated the nanny the better.

I read an interesting post on raising a responsible child on this blog
www.nigerianyummymummy..com

She mentions something many Nigerian mothers these days shy away from, these days the maids are left to do everything for the children and at the end you find children going off to secondary school and they cant even wash a pair of socks.

In the past ate age 8 a girl could cook but what can be said now.
