[@SisiYemmieTV]

The clothe allergy thing is something that has always affected me since I was young, same effect when I open books, newspapers and staying in a place with rugs. Thanks for all your suggestions 😁 I will try it

[@janetubeji9665]

SisiYemmieTV hi sis😘

[@janetubeji9665]

SisiYemmieTV The pregnancy 🤰😂😂

[@FaraBrown]

I love you Sis ❤️ but I can’t lie I don’t like the idea of having a house help. It’s never sat well with me! I know in Nigeria it’s the norm but in the U.K majority of us just do things ourselves. I believe in the UK having a house help would be considered a luxury. I went back home last year and I wasn’t allowed to do a single thing and that felt so weird to me! I would always argue with the house help saying nope I’m going to do this or that because that is just my norm. Also I remember at the age of 15 I remember my grandparents had a house help who was 1 year older than me. Which broke my heart! Because at 16 this girl is working and not in school. The girl also shared with me that once she’s paid her parents take the money from her. Which even stressed me out the more!! To cut the long short! I made so much noise in that house and insisted that my grandparents pay for her to go to school. Because I’m a 1000% sure that none of my relatives would want me working as a house help. Please note I’m not judging anyone that has a house help but I’m pleading with you all to do the right thing by them. That could have been anyone of us in that situation But we thank God that it’s not. So we that have the upper hand! Let’s try and support these young girls in any way we can.

[@NelosHalo]

Fara Brown but there are people in the UK with au pairs and nannies nau. I know people. Yes it may be expensive which is why many people dont have them

[@wawadirolande9831]

Fara Brown good point raised but sometimes when you have too much on your plate having a helper can do you so much good. This isn't to nullify your point but I'm just giving my opinion from this part of the globe. It's true one can go without a helper but our system isn't as organized as overseas. You can count the number of homes that can afford washing machines, vacuum cleaners and the ilk to help facilitate things. Also grocery shopping isn't on the go like else where.. you want to cook yam you have to sit down and clean it you want to cook vegetables most often you have to plug them off which is really time consuming (which is why I'm working on something to improve grocery shopping in my country and other African countries God willing ) Most of our chores are done manually which is time consuming then imagine you have to play the employer or employee role out of home , you need to spend time with your kids , you need to spend time on yourself and if you're married you need to spend time with your husband. So it's not easy to go without a helper. Meaning people employing them should treat them well. This is what I've noticed too.. most people doing small scale jobs like cooks, drivers, helpers , nanny are not trained or don't sign a contract with the employer so this then gives room for some employer to overburden them with chores and don't even respect them as humans so yea there's a lot we have to do before we can take off the need of helpers in our systems.

[@86stainless]

Fara Brown yes o. I gave birth to twins. Just me and hubby. Who househelp epp? Its just trouble

[@KobokoFitness]

That first nanny is the original storyteller. “Her village people don’t want her to come to the city” 🙆🏾‍♀️

[@BinaKerekebuna]

LOL

[@julietambali]

Awww....I like how you motivated the 19 year old. That's so sweet.

[@KobokoFitness]

Chai see egg 🤭 and I thought I was doing something when I sprinkled salt and pepper on my own this morning lmaooo sisi ohhh haff mercy!

[@simplykenny8093]

Nanny/househelp are necessary evils with different drama and packages. I eventually put it in prayers for God to give me a help like a daughter and he did. She stay almost 4years until i relocated from naija. God answers every prayer request no matter how silly they her. Tell it to him. I enjoyed the video by the way.

[@therealist2866]

Kenny Ojediran, they are NOT a "necessary" anything, much less an "evil"! You always have the option of taking care of your kids, cleaning your own house, and doing your household's laundry. If that means you or your husband cannot work, then that's a tough choice to make (and perhaps a factor you should take into consideration when deciding on your househelp's compensation). But abegi, let's not confuse our own personal convenience with necessity.

[@lindaigweh3752]

I think both your maids should go. You aren't getting the help you need for the day maid and the 2nd help can't be trusted to stay. You also need to slow down on been emotionally invested. You're obviously a sweet soul (God bless your heart dear) and these people will often take advantage of you. Soooo Sisi you need to turn it down some nutches. I always conduct my interviews first by phone and then I meet the prospects and then the agent takes the help to a lab(which I use often) and they mail me the results. If all is fine then the girl comes. So try and interview and think if you can work with the person and then test before actual resumption. In regards to their stories....hmmm. nothing you can do oo. It's just to pray that a good one will stay as long as you want. Just keep been good to them.

[@NeloOkeke]

My situation right now oo.. have had 3 in two months 😭😭😭😭 Sombori help me.. they are always story tellers...

[@oceejay5148]

Nelo Okeke running to your channel to watch your story 😂😂

[@ukabamebere6457]

I am getting to urs, this is a serious something o.

[@ada-ada3289]

3 in 2 months? You are probably the one with the problem.

[@elisan3345]

Why dont you employ some elderly woman that would resume by 6 then go home by 8 in the evening I thnk is better that all these girls that would gv one hbp

[@chineloonwane6956]

Nnem ndo look for elderly mamas dem ,then buy a camera ooo

[@MotiA.]

Sisi you said Shebi couples abroad do it abi? Oh boy we do it oo but meeen, the cost na our marriage cuz the stress is so much, we’re always fighting and pushing work on one another. No me time. You NEED extra help. We all do.

[@Kenton-Habiba]

Growing up in Nigeria my parents always had house help but they were men. Living in the USA the only time I have had House help or a house keeper was when we are moving house to help us clean the house before it is sold or rented. I did have Nanny's when my children were babies and I was in medical residency. I hated the feeling of letting someone take care of my babies but I had to for a while. Now that our kids are older it is so nice to have them do dishes after dinner every night or do their own laundry. The cleaning I do now is not much but like most of my peers we do not have any house help. Your stories are interesting as usual! God bless _ Habiba

[@kafwal]

About the allergy thing, it might be that you are allergic to dust mites or the detergent that you use in washing your clothes. For the dust mites issue, you can iron or steam your clothes before wearing them. For detergent, try using one that is fragrance free or those that do not contain synthetic fragrance.

[@julietambali]

"Complete package of pregnancy" That got to me! My stomach o. You are an awesome woman. Love you plenty!

[@The_Cruise_Fam]

Question: must people have house-help in Nigeria in this day & now?.... Also, must all the house helps come from the village? I know in Naija, they consider jobs like that low class, but outside Naija it’s someone’s career. SiSi, regarding your sons hair, you can wash it real good, condition it for like 30mins or so. Wash and blow dry the hair that’s if you’ve not tried this method. Use those blow dryer that has comb attached. It worked for my son although his hair isn’t as coarse. May God help you located the best helper that’d meet your needs SiSi wa😁😆😁 For your sinus issues, you can steam your face in hot water. Pour hot water in large bowl/bucket/pail etc. Use towel to cover your head to secure steam. That’d help open up your sinuses. -LoLa

[@estee267]

When oyinbo go to market and say they are going to buy milk they come home with indeed milk. I said u needed tomatoes n u carried the market home.

[@nadyushka921]

estee267 😂😂😂 no true ooo when a woman goes to market to buy milk she carries the market home. Cos we always calculate what are we going to cook later or tomorrow or see something on sales and must surely buy it to keep in the house 😜😜😜. It’s the men that will go to market to buy that milk and come back with milk . Women are women everywhere. Black or white or whatever background

[@uchechiclare7805]

Hahahaha we for u

[@calabargal6022]

hahahaha! Very true! From tomato, she bought pepper, bought smoked fish then said she forgot tatashe and added chicken.... hahahahaha. This is typical of every lady. I have learnt the hard way - to avoid all this unnecessary buying, I simply avoid the shops :)

[@Chinramsay]

Each time I watch your videos you make me miss home a lot , always keeping it real 🙌🏽 lovely video 🤗

[@AboutMyFro]

The yam meal looked 😍😍😍 - I have no idea what you had it with, but it looked amazinggggggggg!!! And LOOOOOOOOOL!!! Your nanny wahala is too much o!!! It would be hard to let go of the pregnant one, especially because she's been there longer. But my only prayer for you is that your future househelps/nannys etc. don't bring their headaches for you!!!

[@igareesther8810]

Good job sisyemmie and thanks for keeping it real. God bless you and your family...#fanfromtheabroad#

[@Wakagirl]

Never easy with nannies! Thanks for sharing! Hoping you get someone good soon! I'm praying for you 😩

[@therealist2866]

Time to scrap the entire so-called "househelp" system in Nigeria. All employees (even domestic employees) should have fixed working hours and work-free days (and/or otherwise should be entitled to overtime pay).

[@ganiru1351]

Absolutely! I know a girl who’s an au pair and she has set working hours and I believe she gets the weekend off. That’s the only way to do it but Nigerians no go hear.

[@Vee-yc5ht]

TheRealist I know Sisi is a sweet soul and won't maltreat anyone. However I totally agree with you. I had rich cousins back home who treat their maids like garbage! Maid cannot eat regular food. Maid cannot sit on nice furniture. Working 24 hours for peanuts...that's abuse. SummerAku just talked about that on her channel. I know Sisi is not like that; she is very sweet & kind but there are very few people back home like her.

[@readingwithIffy]

You have a very kind heart towards all your nannies. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@JasmineAmaa]

Love your story times xx

[@olufunmilayo5471]

See organic food ooo. From farm to the market no preservative/addictive. God it's time for me to pack my bags and relocate I mean go back home...lol

[@butterfly9274]

Wow! the nanny stories love them💕💕

[@edidiongudousoro189]

I've been waiting for this story time since forever!!! Time to grab my popcorn and drink💃💃... so excited

[@mayongegbe1811]

Aaah thank you very much for this video.I will be testing my nanny tomorrow.

[@TheLizzyO]

Sisi oo. Na only you waka come fa. My prayers are with you lol

[@SuppleChicTV]

im curious when you are at the market do you record with your camera or phone do you pull it out after the fact & do you get push back?

[@Nwadiogo]

right?! because I tried that in Ghana and it wasn't easy lmao

[@nicolenkele]

Yemisi why not try a man house help that comes Monday-Friday ! One of my family members has a man who is a father with a family and it worked out so well ! He is like a part of the family now

[@BeckyCultureMedia]

Can't wait to hear this one oh, what did this Nanny's do to my madam at the top again. Make I load data come watch

[@olusolomon2142]

I like this Vlog/story time style. God will send you a perfect help soon.

[@delindawilliams3935]

I caramba!😨 Sisi Yemmie,you got it all. I have been intensely listening because I'm about to get help in my house and I would love to know all the different tricky stories just in case. I pray to God I have none of those issues.🙏 You seem to be a very caring person but oh my goodness,they really give you a lot of stories don't they?! You're really having a time of it. I hope you have a really good steady help, someone who can really work the way they should. It sounds like a lot of these young women they want jobs but easy jobs that pay alot. Why not they all just braid hair or something like that. They're not being a good assistant to you when they get them self into issues and then they come to your house with it, not able to do the work that they should and then you find out there's something else wrong with them and story on top of story. Oh! I feel so bad for you.😢 Hopefully something will work out soon, and if it is your calling to help girls that have teenage pregnancy or pregnancy out of wedlock then God bless you.

[@Vivazee]

Ah! Sisi... Your shopping clip make me feel so homesick. Everything was so fresh. Fresh food, vegetables hmmm...

[@Titimed]

Omo I taya for house girl. Thankfully I've gotten one that has been stable for 6 months and we hope no issues will come up.

[@luckysuepro1181]

Sisi I really think this is your calling to reach out to young girls to empower them..

[@choolwemwanalila5461]

I equally had similar challenges but i have come to believe that the elderly house helps a thousand times better, they are more calm and focused because they have already lived.

[@ifeomadiji4604]

sisi yemi, you are my mentor, and i bless the day i searched for you online.. now i'm convinced it was not a mistake!!!!

[@judithogboru3808]

Wow, I’m 19 and I honestly can’t imagine being pregnant right now 😫 I really hope she can can figure things out and make something positive for herself even with this pregnancy

[@NazorEzeh]

Looool @ the first pregnancy story. Sisi it's not just you that is going through this maid ordeal...i have seen a lot in the course of my search for a good maid. I've had tons of them pass through my home. Maids are hardly ever truthful. They always have a story to tell. Most of the time, the names they tell you are not actually their names because when you ask for their acct details, it would have a different name. However, there are good ones out there...it takes the grace of God to find them.

[@johannaaguh4438]

Sisiyemmie ooo, the Lord is your strength. You are just a counsellor because all these your helps need YOUR HELP 😀😀 ........ "bleeding blood" hahahahahaha, just funny. I really wish you the best in finding a help that will actually help you and stay.

[@EbunOluwoleTV]

I feel for you Sisiyemmie.....God will provide you with a good help. That was a nice video and your storytelling skills Is a goal😉😉

[@esthero3773]

I love the way you think sisi...so positive!

[@kimbibrenda2892]

Sisi Yemi....I so love your vlogs, its so real and beautiful... The joy of the lord continue being your strength. Love from Cameroon

[@ParentingPal]

Tito looks so good with his new hair cut!! My son is over 1 and he has not had a proper cut at barber cos am dreading the drama he will do lol Househelp wahala 😀😀😀😀my sister has had lots as well within a short while with plenty stories...It can be so stressful

[@rachaelcharles745]

Yeah that looks good sisi ...hello Tito how are you awww Tito is so cute😘😘

[@juliakingsley4195]

Nigerian houses are big and difficult to clean on ur own, but the ones in the UK are small and easy to maintain. Also the day nanny that goes and come sometimes are dangerous because most of them are informants for thieves. I pray God will lead you to the right baggageless nanny.

[@odunayo3008]

Okay sisi yemi that’s it 😩😩😩 I am coming home. Your videos always make me homesick 😭😓 lots of love from Egypt ❤️❤️❤️❤️

wow.. I think youre too nice. keeping her in your home and still paying her I think is quite generous and kind of you. love you sisiyemi

[@ganiru1351]

LMAO this comment is ridiculous. You’re supposed to pay your help! Room & board is NOT adequate pay.

[@jnicia1]

Living in London with 2 kids and working full time I get real jealous when ppl talk about home help. After your first video and now this one I am thankful I don't have to deal with this stress.

[@Slainte_sips]

Sisi Yemmie you can get a wardrobe dehumidifier ...All you have to do is hang it between your clothes, It really does the job... You’ll find it at the supermarket at the mega plaza entrance 😊

[@okorovivienmary4906]

One thing sisi yemmie.. I love you, and I love your spoken English . I love your kitchen layout . And your love for varieties. You rock. I have many kitchens I watch but you're the only one I follow. I subscribed too.. imagine. Keep going ma'am. Please invite me for a holiday nahhh!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

[@KaondePrincess]

Geez your nanny drama is too much lol it's like your calling is to be a counselor, all these young women with issues just landing in your house. I pray God sends you a good, healthy and emotionally stable house-help, this whole situation must be frustrating.

[@mamiche80]

OMG ...Tito has grown so much! He is a little man now. He is soooo cute :) :)

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

Hahaha....maaaan that househelp DRAAAMA! But you know what Sisi I really love how you have shown these women the bright side of their situations especially the current girl who is 19 and pregnant. Maybe it is your ministry indeed to show these bewildered househelp something that they need in their lives in order for them to grow as Women. Chile! This drama you're experiencing is like a Soap Opera 🤣🤣🤣

[@bukolavic]

I really enjoyed ds ur househelp story o. 😁 May God deliver people from Househelp wahala o

[@mariamatchamo745]

what a great mother you are! i really do like those braids though! all this nannies need to chill...is like you are their savior...you give them good advice

[@oluwaseunayanniyi6459]

Its very likely your closet is damp and mold maybe growing on your clothes so when you wear it, you begin to react to the mold. You can get camphor balls, there are some with lovely smells or dessicants (similar to those found in new bags and shoes) in your wardrobe.

[@NollyReviews]

Chai! I miss these fresh foods from the market o. God Help me! Can't even remember the last time I had boiled yam, thank you for reminding me.

[@pleasant1425]

I enjoyed this video so much, thanks for sharing your drama. In South Africa we also have house help drama but I think Nigeria takes the cake. The house help test kit😂😂 love you SisiYemmie and family ❤️

[@izevbizuaangela7797]

You are just too real i love your blog keep it up

[@jaynemarie81]

i think you are being very patient and kind with these ladies :-)

[@MariamEmetumahVlogs]

Yummy yummy .

[@OreziOmokiti]

You can try putting a bulb in the closet, this actually helps, and also opening it when you are not there

[@uchechiclare7805]

Tito said it’s working, I love that

[@olukayodeakinwale553]

[@comfortyeyinu7422]

Gosh! I just came across your channel few days ago..... not all house help has drama sisi Yemmie...... but if you are still searching for one I am interested.

[@nextgistchannel6964]

I really enjoyed the video and I pray House help drama is over in Jesus Name 🙏🏻 😊 weldone @SisiYemmie

[@temmyn1943]

Sisiyemi!!!Na only you waka come!!!Please its important you do all the required tests because if anything happens to the so called househelp???Do not let desperation push to do the wrong thing.Please put this househelp thing in your prayers.If you can get a young family member as well thats another option.May God guide you in getting a good one.God bless.

[@opeyemiolawale6139]

May God help you in your quest o sisi yemmie. I pray you finally find someone with no wahala

[@ifeomaduru1601]

😅😅😅u are such a good story teller.

[@sofiata2133]

I love your story times Sisi Yemmie. Chai, I can relate. We used to have house maids when we were growing up until we all went to boarding school. After I graduated, I was home for one year with my parents and they turned me to omo odo. I had to sweep the compound, wash clothes, do dishes, wash cars, sweep, cook etc. I almost died lol. It's easier in the abroad because you have dish washer, vacuum, washing machine, no compound to sweep and no dust. When I was leaving Naija, I was happy because goodbye to the chores lol

[@brandyandcream2]

How is it that Tito stays sooooo adorable ❤️

[@danieldavid3448]

Sisi yemi sorry for all the house help wahala. But here in Europe is very expensive to have a house help because of this have to still at home with the kids while mi hubby goes to work. Motherhood and career don't go together at times especially when the children are young. May the Lord give you a good house help.

[@DakaraiDada]

I'm the same way, I believe what people tell me, it's bad tho because some people will play you. Good luck on your search. Your troubles make great story times though.

[@priscillaaloghemen1730]

From your story it shows you have a lovely heart.

[@yemimunis6131]

Sisiyemmie my namesake I just love everything about you. You are so easy going lady 😙😙😙

[@TheHomeWeBuilt]

It’s hard but two months is not enough to see enough hair growth but then again that depends on how fast or slow Titi’s hair grows. Keep at it and when you want to comb his hair don’t do it dry just pray with a little Water to soften his hair and moisturise with oil. Hope this helps

[@bethelmiketv]

Sisi ...I can't miss your video a day.why ? Cos u are always natural . please keep it up Sisi 😘😍😘

[@motundedaramola7428]

Sisi Yemi , you make everything look like it's Soo simple , I mean going to the market and cooking , altogether being a wife looks

[@precieoux]

As beautiful as ever. Ever smiling💜🙌😍

[@folakeoakintoye]

I am praying seriously. 🙏🏾

[@okokonscholastica8871]

Arrh aunty sisi all this drama!! Am already feeling for you maybe there is a reason behind every drama.. maybe God is passing a message...

[@leotunapika6835]

Interesting to learn that in Nigeria you carry out health tests for the house helps. I'm Kenyan and I've not seen it done here.

[@Vee-yc5ht]

Leo Tunapika I haven't been to Cameroon in years but I know we don't that there. It's illegal here in America to test them as is done in Nigeria. As a nurse I have to either get immunizations or show titers, yearly TB test, background & drug testing but no testing like HIV & stuff. Nannies here go through the same process

[@yashmunjames-filipczak2621]

Sis, I have 5 kids and this has been the story of my life here in the states.I can not find reliable help no matter what we pay

[@arnetteciapha1897]

I love your story time. New subbie

[@TheSec2]

sisiyemisi i always look forward to your story time

[@ladyflores9990]

Wow to get help with house work. Here we do it all work, cleaning, laundry, children and relationship duty. Yes it is stressful. If we don't do it right God forbid you will be the talk of the town. But i am thinking of considering a cleaning company to come in once a week to ease the stress. Nevertheless, Keep prayering for God to move in your situation.

[@kommzujesusundleb2189]

Remedy for the allergy take a cup of hot water with one or two tsps of lemon and honey, you will be relieved .

[@Mosiwomeka]

Just finished watching, don't feel bad to let her go. But what I know is that just be patient SisiYemmie, you'll get the best person that will blend in and you'll even become tired sef. If you can ask your agent to get anyone from Jos for you, those Jos girls are very very hardworking and are nice also. If I were still with the Nanny placement agency I would have taken it upon myself to find a very very very good girl for you. I think my former boss doesn't run that business again, she has oyinbo mentality and the girls just frustrate her, Lol. Their wahala is actually plenty

[@Nwadiogo]

Sisi why did you do this to me?! I said wow, this is a long video, let me listen as I do my housework. Next thing I know, I am sitting down with my jaw literally dropped open at this update. I pray God reveals to you why these women keep presenting the same issues and that we can help in some way. God bless!

[@maeyojoie]

This cutting of Tito's hair tho. I wanted to cry for him. I wanted to cry for you for the maid stories.

[@janetmonday3]

Sisi employ me,no complaints no trouble,no worries,no sleeping,but I have to work from Monday to Friday,anyway nice video,

[@davidandchy]

Lovely video!

[@ukabamebere6457]

My own sneezing n allergy tortured me till I left naija. I can so relate.

[@arikahandy1528]

Auntie you are too kind those girls know they get belly and still try to dupe you. I'm in the US it is hard and expensive to have help. Its also amazing to me that you can terminate someone in Nigeria because of genetic/health information its illegal here so this is something new to me. Can you get male help? Or get older auntie who is done having kids

[@ogechiosakwe5245]

Pls always do a pregnancy test for ur maids, never skip it. It’s good to know

[@princessagu7246]

In the states there are services that offer cleaners cleaning once a week. Which is Good. Get services maybe once/twice a week.

[@luxuryskin2413]

What food was Tito asking for? And what were you cooking, it looks delicious!
