or so i thought
the first 2 weeks of job were good
as the mum was on leave to help me ease into the role,
introduce me to the schools,
familiarise the routes and routines
and to bond with the kids.
However, nightmare starts when i was on solo
especially with the 3 years old girl
I dont know is it the language barrier
or separation anxiety
or simply i sucks
The days when i was alone with the 3 years old
all i have was a constantly crying and screaming child
For the first day, i had to pick her up first
and wait 1.5hours with her at park for her sisters to end school
and she started screaming and crying when she saw me
that the public must thought i abused her
or im a kidnappers
i tried all the methods to stop her from crying but it didnt worked
till i drew something to try engaged her
and she stopped after 45mins of crying!
On other days when her sisters were around,
she doesnt cry or rather, not as much
The bad news is every tuesdays will be the same 1.5hrs scary wait.
Another day was the father had to take the older girls to the dentist
so i was alone with the 3 years old for 3hours at home
well, at least we were at home
and the crying were every 20mins
I was so happy when the father was home!
On another tuesday,
I tried to minimize the 1.5hrs wait by bringing her for a wait
and guess who threw a tantrum outside a bookstore
demanding to buy a new book..arrgh
And on the same day, the 3 girls ganged up against me
by not going to shower and dragged 45mins till it was past shower time
and the mum had to force them to go the moment she returned
The mum can see im really trumatised
and made the girls apologised to me
She emphasized to the girls that i am a guest
they must make me feel comfortable at home
which means listen to me and respect me.
The mum added that she understands that is hard on tuesdays
and she will be taking half day off on tuesdays to help
I am unsure how long i can susrtain this job
many times, i asked myself why am i doing this
the money is good and good way to be out of the home
but with my school starting and how stressed up i am
im wondering whether this is worth it.
I hope all will be better...
