Who can afford to hire a housekeeper or Nanny. I guess I can

[ChesusRice]

(CNN) – Anna worked seven days a week as a nanny for the family of a Fortune 500 company executive. She lived with them in their 5th Avenue apartment in Midtown Manhattan. Her day began at 6 when the children woke up and didn't end until 10 at night when she put them to bed and cleaned the kitchen.
She cooked meals, did laundry and tended to the children's needs. She slept on the floor in between their beds. She did not have a single day off in 15 months.
She was hired because of the child development skills she learned as a teacher in her native Philippines. Yet she earned just $1.27 an hour.
Anna's story, documented in a groundbreaking statistical report on U.S. domestic workers released Tuesday, is not uncommon. It said Anna was part of a system of invisible workers - mostly women, mostly minorities and increasingly immigrant - who enable many Americans to function in their own lives.
Nannies, house cleaners and caregivers play a central role in the U.S. economy, the report said, but hidden from public view, they are not compensated adequately and are often abused.
It found that low pay was a systemic problem in the domestic work industry - 23% of domestic workers are paid below the state minimum wage – and few receive any benefits such as health insurance or paid sick days. For live-in workers who are closest to their employers, the situation is worse - 67 % of them are paid below minimum wage

if they are getting away with paying them 1.27 an hour, I should pay double and hire a couple housekeepers.

The trick is promise them anything then dont pay them a dime
You can always threaten them with kicking them out penniless or having them deported

New details have been released that show that Yoselyn Ortega the Manhattan nanny accused of killing two children she cared for, got into an argument with the children’s mother, Marina Krim. The alleged argument took place the day before she brutally stabbed Lucia Krim, 6 and Leo Krim, 2.

According to a law enforcement source, “Yoselyn told NYPD detectives that she was involved in an epic argument with Marina Krim the day before the children were tragically murdered. Yoselyn also said that when she left at the end of the day before the murders, Marina ignored her when she said good-bye and this made her very, very angry. Yoselyn became extremely animated when she discussed the incident with law enforcement. Yoselyn also said she had numerous disagreements with Marina about how the kids were being cared for. Marina didn’t think Yoselyn was interacting with the kids enough and was giving them junk food when she would be out of sight.”

The New York Times is reporting that Yoselyn Ortega waived her right to have her attorney present when they interviewed her on Saturday at the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. During the interrogation, Ortega stated that Marina Krim “knows what happened”.


The source went on to say that, “During the interview with Ortega, which was video and audiotaped by cops, she gave a lot of detail about her life with the Krim family. During the interrogation Yoselyn repeatedly asked about her family and asked how they were doing.”

“She didn’t express any remorse or shed any tears when talking about Lucia and Leo’s murders. It was rather shocking to cops because of the gruesome crime scene that Yoselyn didn’t express any emotion when speaking of the kids. Everything was just rather matter of fact.”

The parents released a statement as they said good-bye to their little angels on Monday. “It is important to us that they are remembered as the sweet, creative, and fun-loving children they were. It is of utmost importance to us that she is afforded the opportunity to grow up privately, like any other kid.”

Hours after the police interrogated Yoselyn Ortega was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the brutal killings of Lucia Krim and her baby brother Leo Krim.

Can medicare help with the cost?

Medicare helped with hospice when my mom was dying. My dad is still mostly functional so what help I can get right now is limited.

The report must be completely fucked if it thinks Nannies, housekeepers and care givers play a central role in the economy. The report completely contradicts itself if it says that and then goes on to say that they are all paid an average of $6 a hour. 726,437 worker working 12 hour days 365 days a year make a grand total of $19,090,738,080 Or about as much as government spends in 2 DAYs!!!


Stupid people will believe anything fed to them.

I got a leaflet in my door recently, €100 a week for a live in nanny here.

And it's the Nannys who advertise at this price...theyre obviously so abused and neglected by...themselves.

Stupid people think you can put dollar amount on a good childhood.

 

[blacksun]

If she can learn

1. english

2. how to answer a phone

3. how to turn a computer on, and turn it off

I know of plenty of call center and IT related jobs that pay $15/hour that would hire her.

Kind of weird that people like her choose to go for that profession when there are a plethora of jobs like I just mentioned.

Probably a reason for that...they're illegal, felony background...something...just taking a wild guess.

What chesusrice forgot to mention for the ethnically challenged is doing the same job in her home country she would have been paid 7x less. I was paying 50buck a month for a live in and actually treated them like human being which is a rarity there. He also forgot to mention they're considered scum because of their low education and at times not treated much better than animals. Most people make them live out in the back yard in maid quarters aka a low walled bamboo hut. I don't condone anyone being treated like that but I don't care for over dramatic inaccurate information either. Live in nannies (yayas) are like any other salary worker, if you don't like it renegotiate or resign.

I could afford one, I just have an epic problem with strange people in my house while I might be away (especially if they do not speak english). I have an Aunt that has been robbed twice from using "housekeeping services". If you are to busy to keep your own home clean, sell it.

Personally, I find it to be a waste of money and a terrible security risk, especially for growers.

Clean up after yourself as it should have been taught to everyone while you were growing up, and if not, there are house cleaning videos on youtube.


Peace

Your colored statements just shows you have never lived in the Philippines and know very little of the culture and you're completely talking out of your ass.

Are you saying she should consider her self lucky that this wealthy "American" lets her sleep on his floor?

Would he pay less if that person came from say Nigeria?

I don't think that was his intent, he was trying to pull heartstrings with a overly dramatic article without filling in the blanks. For example 80% of the Filipino population makes a day what she makes an hour. In her home country she would make closer to 20cents an hour. The entire culture their is prepping people to get the hell out so they can send money back. A huge portion of their economy relies on abroad workers, you can find lines miles long (no exaggeration) to fill in her place.
