Tomike Adeoye has spoken up against a common practice of making nannies wear uniforms when they accompanying children to public places
While speaking in a video shared on her Instagram page, Tomike regarded such practices and rules as humiliating, stating that nannies should look neat and well dressed rather than made to wear uniforms.
“I can never wrap my head around people who go out with their children’s nannies wearing their uniforms. I find it very humiliating. It’s giving, ‘I’m a nanny.’ Especially when you’re at a party and you’re looking all glammed up, your kids are looking so cute, and then you have their nannies wearing uniforms,” she said.
The media personality also frowned at parents who speak harshly to their nannies, noting that caregivers deserve respect because they are responsible for their children in their absence.
“As long as you’re taking care of my child, looking after that child in my absence, you have become my family. My husband once heard one of my nannies telling her boyfriend, ‘Even my madam cannot speak to me like that’. If you will come to my home and become more self-aware, then I have made a positive impact in your life. Life is not that hard,” she added.
Her opinion quickly stirred online reactions, with some highlighting the need for dignity and mutual respect between employers and domestic staff.
