Nanny Nightmare!!!


Last year somewhere in November '13, my Mummy was hit by a car while crossing the road... She sustained head and bodily injuries with a cracked pelvis bone... We asked her to stay with us for about 3months so that she can recover better and because of this she couldn't take care of my little Smurf like before... We decided to get a maid and the application took about 3months...

Luckily my wife was still on maternity leave till 6 January 2014 and it worked out for us that my Mummy was staying with us and recovering well that she could help take care of the little Smurf and our newborn Bucuk Boy while we're at work and still awaiting for the maid to arrive...

We are kinda lucky to have my Mummy to help take care of our children but for those who are sending to a babysitter or has a nanny at home, we hope you don't ever let your guard down and always check on your kids... After watching this video we are more thankful to God and will always check first if one day we would need to hire a nanny for our children...
