In the Western world, regular people cannot afford a live-in maid, yet they still have babies and continue working to provide for their families. How do they do it? Daycare and Baby Sitters. Babysitting is such a lucrative business for young high school and college students, earning themselves pocket money. Nobody looks down on them because of it. In fact, they are very proud to have the job, because it means they are responsible, they can be trusted with somebody’s child and house and their references were good.
We are almost getting to that point where getting a dependable live in maid is near impossible and those who do, they ask for astronomical salaries. There are working mothers who are stranded right now wondering where to take their babies as they report to work the next morning. So, if you have been sitting home for years with no job, why cant you help such a mother out and get paid doing it? You will not be her maid.
I know there is still stigma attached to that line of work by society, but its time we changed their view by proving it can be gainful employment for a young person who was unemployed for years. You can do it differently but effectively by being a day shift employee, going home in the evening after work, like all other workers in government and private employment. Report to your employers house in the morning, take care of her baby / children and do some light household chores for her. When the mother comes home from work, you go home and report on duty the next morning. You are off on weekends unless requested by your employer and this earns you some overtime.
Consider this: You babysit your younger siblings, nephews and nieces and nobody pays you for it. Why not turn your babysitting skills into cash and help a working mother out in the process? Women are always having babies, and once you make a name for yourself with that one mother, she will be referring you to her friends and you will never be without a job. Isn’t that better than sitting at home feeling miserable, desperately waiting for “jobs” that never comes. Once your friends realize you are making money so easily, while still living at home, they will be looking for families to babysit for. Why not lead the pack and be the example they want to follow.
