I'm a perfectionist. I was done with househelps last year June. I have survived and I have two school goers, one is special needs. It has not been easy but this far it has worked out. Early mornings and late nights are exhausting but the joy of accomplishment and having not to stress over a grownup in your space doing everything contrary to your instructions, lets me sleep well at night. But I'm blest coz I work from home. I will find new ways to adjust when the rona passes and life has to go back to normal. For now I'm househelp-stress-free! Great channel by the way Suzy.

Hello mid.. I have a special need child too... how did you cope.. am about to let go my help.

[@mremboblog]

Like any job, as Kenyans in we need to look at the pay and conditions we subject househelps to. Most of us would never work for ourselves given the way we treat our maids. Many times nikisikia ati mtu ako na shida ya househelps, I cannot help but wonder at the pay and conditions of the work place. For example, kama uko na 2 kids and husband, the maid is expected to cater to them, wash clothes, prepare lunch, clean the house and have dinner ready without any help..oh and iron clothes etc etc. Most wives can#t even handle their own homes on a weekend, then the maid is expected to do this 6 days a week for a pay of less than 10K... Kenyan wives, wake up! I always says, stay home for a week doing what your maid does, then you will learn whether you are a good employer in terms of pay and work conditions!

[@wheelscourier6428]

And what do women who earn that 10k or less do

[@suzyshomestead]

Very true. If you have watched any of my other videos about househelps, then you know that I totally agree with you. 😄😄 However, let's just agree that there are a lot of employers who do all this and more and the problem is actually the help. Saying that employers are the problem 100% of the time is really not accurate, IMHO.. Thanks for watching! 🌼🌻

This will be a solution to our girls not going to Kuwait to be murdered. House help is a decent job, more convenient than so many others. Hakuna jam, hakuna kulipa fare everyday, hakuna hassel, hakuna Landlord every end month, etc. Etc It's a cool job if we change our attitude.

[@beeachieng5805]

And I love the short hair...looks very good on you😊...I remember how you once admired my cut at the crew centre..Welcome to the short hair gang💪

[@virendavictoria5174]

in our home i mean my parent home we stopped having a house help when i was 15 now im at my 30s and i dont have a house help in my house and its nothing different cause im used to house chores and working so i totally subscribe to the idea that children must cheap in it will help them a great deal Funfact: i tried to have a househelp when i gave birth but the horror i had frm only two househelps i said never again...i gave up when my baby was 8 months

[@Nancy.Macharia]

Yes imagine you can run your house without a help however if you have small kids and have a full time job you need wisdom. I agree with your tips especially the schedule and fly lady...begun the baby steps am on day 6 and loving it.

[@suzyshomestead]

Oh yes, with small kids and a full time job, some juggling is required. But I always think of the people in the western world who have jobs, kids and no nannies. How do they survive? We can learn a lot from them. However I do feel that we are blessed to have the option of househelps. For all their faults, they really make our lives easier. Well done on the Baby steps! Keep flying! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@claremaina6023]

You remind me of me some few years ago.your story is soo similar with mine. I even thought i was the bad one. I haven't employed one in like 2 years. Best years of my life.

[@suzyshomestead]

Awesome Clare! So glad it's working for you! One day I hope to get there. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@wanjikunjoroge3716]

mother of five boys thought ws the only one wt issues wt help nw i cn breath its an outbreak

[@monicayotam3035]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pole my dear... Av been there and I can relate 😤😤 But I now, I can breath easy coz I have not had a help since August last year (she’’s been with us for 5yrs) and it’s been challenging but great! It takes planning and of course hubby has to chip in but..... Best decision that av made!! Especially for my children. 👌🏼👌🏼

[@suzyshomestead]

Wow! I can't wait to get there one day girl. So glad it's working for you and your family. Keep up the good work! ✨💯

[@ndlovukimberley3176]

Sister Suzy this is directed to you my angel all the way from South Africa

[@suzyshomestead]

Yaaay! Awesome! 💯🏵️🏵️

[@maryannethuranira227]

I stopped hiring 3 yrs back. My last born twins r 8 yrs old. We organize ourselves with hubby. So far so good. So am sure u will manage en u will b happy

[@suzyshomestead]

Well done Maryanne! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I eventually did have to hire one, but it was not out of desperation! But I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work! 💪🏾👊🏿🌼

[@bluebird4815]

Me watching this knowing full well that i live in England and i will not have the luxury of house help when tbis baby arrives 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Yup, i'm going part time when my maternity leave ends. My partner will carry on full time. I refuse to pay exorbitant fees for nursery. My dear, you will survive without one. You can do it. U've got this mama.

[@wambui4590]

U know how it goes there. A house help is a foreign term there. I wish you all the best, I'm sure you will manage atleast your partner is there and incase you'll feel exhausted by the second year, then you can try few hours in the nursery and also cos of the socialization of the child.

[@suzyshomestead]

You can do this mama! Congratulations on your coming bundle of joy. Yes, team work makes the dream work! 🎊🎊🎊

[@Anastacia334]

am so like in love with your videos

[@suzyshomestead]

Thanks girl! 💐💐

[@julietakila5126]

Mmmmmmh, This drama.... It can be told in novel style. My take home, plan B. And just let go of perfection!!!

[@joaninternationaltv3155]

Not all are bad but sometimes it deeps on how you treat them my dear

[@suzyshomestead]

Pole Sana Priscilla. The only thing we can control is how we ourselves behave. How other people behave is out of our control. Glad you found a way that works for you. Keep it up! 💐🎉

[@suzyshomestead]

Not all are bad for sure, the same way not all employers are bad. It's just the way life is. 😅

[@dorismuma8915]

Hapo on treating them ni tricky coz like me I have tried my best ev n to assume many mistakes that I see but at the end of the day they run away

[@catherinekate4881]

They are bad news only one out of ten

[@MemorySeister]

There may be defnedly something wrong that they didn't liked.No one will just walk away while they are in need of work..Apart from the one who run away with the money

[@christineno2887]

[@suzyshomestead]

[@itsgladys625]

Had the same experience.. They ask for fare to come to town and never show up.

[@suzyshomestead]

Pole Sana. So sad though... 😢

[@phoebeogenga5766]

[@doreenkaburu8916]

[@suzyshomestead]

Conmanship at its finest! 😅😅😅 But we're okay. We thank God in all things. 💐🎉

[@maggiewatkins8631]

My mother gave up on house help and employed house boys one stayed with us for 10 years. However his job finished at 4 everyday and he will go to his room or out with his friends. Treat them right keep them keen. 👌

[@suzyshomestead]

What a ninja mama! Good for her! So wise! I'm glad that worked so well for your family. 💯👏🏾👏🏾

[@teresagitonga8749]

Woooiiiee pole Sana!! You look stunning with your hair cut.🤣I love your Chinese saying...." Njogu ndiremagwo ni muguongo wayo" 🤣

[@suzyshomestead]

😁😁😁 thanks Teresa! 🌺🌺

[@maryagneskaingwe6286]

I am very sorry to hear about your troubles about house help I have a very bad experience about working for a black family it is very sad they treat you sleave or my God black ladies have to take some lessons how to be a madam if not abig disaster i can't say all but it's very measurable to work for someblack wright now icanot say all in short it's very sad i meant sad its good that you can do it yourself better than you wi learn how to treat house help

[@ellenmwangi1080]

"progress not perfection".... Well said. Women - Mums need to stop sending fare-wacheni kutuma fare!!!! The messege you send sets tone to how the DM will treat you even if she shows up..... Anyone who is credible will find fare which they can refund after first salary. Whenever something costs you, you tend to put value to the same be it a job or a "thing".....

[@suzyshomestead]

😅😅😅 for once I gave in to desperation and sent that fare. Bad mistake! I hope people learn from this. And you are so right. You value what you pay for. Right on! 👌🏾💯

[@dottymaina9924]

Agreed, we value what has cost us

[@marymbugua7452]

I truly love your energy

[@suzyshomestead]

Asante Sana girl! 💐💐

[@wambuikaguathi7863]

I experienced the same November 2020. This lady was referred to me by my friends help, she was in Kakamega. Asked for fare, I told her to use hers I would reimburse. Next day morning I call her she says she's on the way, kept checking up during the day she was almost in Nairobi at 4. Never calling me but she was picking up. 7pm she hadn't called. I figured I had been played after waiting for her a whole day. 😭

[@suzyshomestead]

Oh my!! Why do they do that?! Pole Sana Wambui! Hope you got a better one. 💮💮

[@mercykariuki4168]

This has come at the right time.These people can make one resign from their jobs especially when one has a baby.Am still looking for one.But now with Covid ,I am but scared

[@suzyshomestead]

Pole Sana Mercy. It gets better, trust me. I pray that God brings you the right person for your family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@lucykasiga6928]

After my second child I had to quit my bank job to mind my kids..you can put up with househelps when you have no kids but once you have young children entering the scene it becomes impossible...they will use your situation to make life impossible,mine left one week after my maternity leave was over...

[@dumsilenene3124]

Suzy..we all have been there..to the point of breaking down
