Sometimes, in order to make others happy, we do things that go beyond the scope of our duties. As a nanny, I am responsible for taking care of Lao Chen and Lao Zhang's daily lifelife, I cook three meals a day on time, buylifesupplies, cleaning, etc. Although Lao Chen gave me very little money for the dishes, I still tried my best to meet her request. However, I also have my thoughts and desires. One day, I saw fresh prawns in the market and couldn't help but want to make a special dish for the old couple and surprise them. Although Lao Chen is more frugal with food, I still decided to buy these prawns and make a plate of fried prawns to treat them. I was excited because I knew they hadn't eaten anything like this in a long timeGastronomyFinish.
After I wash the shrimp, startStir-fried shrimp。The sound of stir-frying in the pot and the aroma of shrimp meat fills the airKitchenis mouth-watering. Finally, I drenched in a littleCooking wineand sugar, stir-fry well and put on a plate. WholeStir-fried shrimpI really enjoyed the process and I can't wait to try it.
When I came to the dining table with the plate, I found that Lao Chen and Lao Zhang were still in front of the usual shabby dishes, and nothing had changed. I tried to hide my disappointment with a smile, but I wasn't really happy inside. Watching them munch on their usual meals, I felt an urge to enjoy this delicious plate of shrimp by myself. I had a great meal, and I didn't have to worry about others thinking that I would suffer if I had too many dishes.
However, the next morning, Lao Chen asked me to pack my bags and leave. She was angry and said that I had brought the shrimp home without permission and had not shared them with them according to the rules. I tried to explain, but she didn't listen, just reprimanded me for being selfish. I left them helplessly, and my heart was full of helplessness and grievances.
Thinking back on this, I began to reflect on whether my actions were excessive. I asked myself, I didn't go against Lao Chen's wishes, I just wanted to give them a nice surprise. I think, as an au pair, I also have the right to have time to enjoy someGastronomy。Of course, I didn't eat all the shrimp, but I just enjoyed some of them. As a living person, I also need to satisfy my appetite once in a while.
However, Lao Chen didn't understand my thoughts, and she always thought that I was taking advantage of me by doing so. I began to wonder if I was at fault and if I had been ill-conceived in handling the matter. Perhaps, I should communicate with Lao Chen beforehand and explain my thoughts so that she understands that I want to improve their food. But even if I did, it wouldn't necessarily make her acceptable.
Leaving Lao Chen's house this time made me understand that everyone's thoughts and expectations are different. As a service provider, we need to respect the employer's rules and Xi, but also let our ideas be respected and satisfied. We are not robots, we also have emotions and needs. While accepting a job, we should also ask for reasonable remuneration and treatment, not only to satisfy ourselveslifeThe need is also to give yourself some psychological comfort.
After parting ways with Lao Chen, I became more clear about my values and expectations. I decided to stick to my bottom line more in my future work, and always strive for a better one for myselflifeCondition. Of course, this does not mean that I will give up respect and service to my employer, just learn to meet my own needs within reason.
In short, everyone has their own expectations and beliefs. As a nanny, we need to understand the employer's requirements while also respecting our own needs and rights. Only by finding a balance can we give the best service in our work and pursue our own happiness and satisfaction. Perhaps, when dealing with this matter, I can communicate more with Lao Chen, let her know my real thoughts and needs, and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. At the same time, I can also find other ways to improve my food, such as discussing with Lao Chen to increase the cost of dishes, or trying to create richer dishes within a limited budget.
Most importantly, I learned to listen to and understand the needs and expectations of my employers, and to build a good communication and trust relationship with them. Only in this way can they be better satisfiedlifedemand, but also for themselves to strive for a better onelifeCondition. I will humbly accept your suggestions and criticisms, and strive to be a more caring and considerate service provider.
