Being a nanny for college students is a shameful thing for many people, but Zhao Qing (pseudonym), who has graduated for one year, told me with her own personal experience that she learned more from being a domestic helper for half a year than from being a clerk in a company.
At a job fair in Hankou the other day, I noticed that Zhao Qing was filling out her resume. Her work experience column says: she has been a domestic assistant for half a year. At the same time, Zhao Qing graduated from a second-class undergraduate college in Wuhan, majoring in Chinese language and literature, and worked as a clerk for half a year. For such education and experience, Zhao Qing is puzzled by her choice to be a nanny, but she values this experience very much.
According to Zhao Qing, as a clerk after graduation, there are many trivial things to deal with every day, but my ability is limited and I feel that I have made little progress. About half a year ago, by chance, Zhao Qing resigned and chose to be a family nanny. "Frankly, of course, I will hesitate at first. After all, going out to be a nanny after graduation is a bit shameful. " Zhao Qing said frankly that she wanted to try it first, because the salary was higher than that of a clerk.
Zhao Qing said that unlike a nanny in the general sense, her job includes not only daily housework, but also teaching children homework, which is equivalent to tutoring. Moreover, the employer gave the financial management right of monthly household expenses to Zhao Qing, who can decide how to manage and decorate the garden at home by herself. In addition, because of Zhao Qing's undergraduate degree and major, she mentioned that female employers often take her to some social occasions, which makes up for Zhao Qing's lack of interpersonal relationship and narrow social contact.
She also mentioned that after working for a period of time, she found this nanny very rewarding. Aside from the face problem, this job has brought her exercise and promotion far beyond the career of a clerk.
After the contract expired, Zhao Qing did not continue to be a nanny, but returned to the talent market to apply for a job. She said that she chose this way, not because she felt ashamed to be a nanny, but because of the current development, there is not much room for the development of this profession. She can only be a nanny when she is 30 years old. No matter how generous her employer is, her salary is not as good as that of a formal employee in a big enterprise.
"However, with this experience, I will become more pragmatic in my future job search and will not blindly pursue things that are unrealistic or beyond my ability. I don't reject being a nanny. Similarly, I can't stay in this job forever. After all, this job is just a starting point. " Zhao Qing said.
