Full Time Nanny Jobs: A Solution To The Housing Crisis?
Stagnation in the American job market and the housing market has continued to grind on for years since the crash in 2008
. More and more homes are falling into foreclosure, and the real hourly wage of American workers continues to erode with regards to its buying power. Most vulnerable are single middle-aged and young senior women, between the ages of 45 and 65. They may be isolated from their family, has no working spouse or partner, and may have neglected their own retirement and emergency savings in order to assist their parents, their grown children, or their extended family. When job loss, divorce, or a medical crisis occurs, these bankrupted women often literally have to place left to go.
Hard economic times, however, does not mean that these women on the edge of homelessness are not able to make a positive contribution to the lives of others. Many of these women are getting in touch with their entrepreneurial, pragmatic, and boot-strapping nature and branching out into professional childcare. They are doing this by applying for, and getting, full time, live-in nanny jobs.
When a woman is faced with foreclosure, she usually has some time to look for a nanny job before she is evicted. As the interviews go on and employment contracts are signed, she has time to sell, store, or give away her possession and re-home her pets, if any. She knows she is going to be living in a stable, safe environment, with children and adults around. She will be needed, making a valuable contribution to the lives of children and their parents, and will be given responsibility and respect. A new nanny job may allow a woman to pay off old debts, save money for the future, or even take courses to lead her into a new career at a later date. She is free to choose where she wishes to work, and for how long, so it can be a way to test out new job markets as well as experience life in different parts of the country, or even in different parts of the world.
Provided that a displaced woman has the right attitude and doesn't quit looking until she finds a great nanny job, all things are possible. Working as a nanny can give a woman who's had a number of tough hands dealt to her the chance to heal and re-invent her, both professionally and personally. Being around children, with their extraordinary positivity, curiosity, and zest for live, can be an absolute tonic for the soul. Likewise, the nanny job can lead to new professional contacts, made through the children's social engagements and good old fashioned networking that the woman might not otherwise have.
Nanny jobs aren't, of course, the entire answer to the national housing and foreclosure crisis. However, out of crisis comes many opportunities, and live in, full time nanny jobs can be a literal lifesaver for women caught up in the seismic shifts taking place in the American economic and social landscape today. By very virtue of the nature of the work they do, nannies help children, parents, the community, and themselves, all at once. Savvy parents as well as social workers and employment counselors would be well advised to remind women at risk that finding a nanny job could truly save them from homelessness and poverty.
