A Bengaluru woman shared a video of spending ₹46,000 monthly on 2 nannies for 2 sons. This has sparked debate over the cost of child care and the importance of reliable support. She considers the nanny not just as an employee but as a part of the family.

Bengaluru resident Parveen Chaudhary recently shared an Instagram video. In this she told how much salary she pays to her nanny for the upbringing of her two sons of three and four years. The video has sparked a new debate on parenting, the cost of child care, and the importance of trust and support in managing a household. Parveen insists that for her the nanny is not just a worker but a part of her family. She provides love, care and protection to her children, which helps Parveen to work, travel and handle family responsibilities.

In her post, Parveen has given complete details of the expenses incurred on child care. The first nanny gets ₹32,000 per month and works 11 hours a day. She does everything from cooking, cleaning to even staying at night if needed. The other nanny works as a support helper and gets ₹14,000 per month. She comes to work when the main nanny is on leave or not available.

According to Parveen, through this arrangement her children have got two women who make them feel safe and loved. She says the presence of a nanny helps her balance work, parenting and taking time out for herself. This ensures that even if they miss time, their children receive complete care.

Nanny like a family member

Parveen tells in her caption that she does not consider her nanny as just a part of a 'transaction'. Instead, she calls them 'two dear aunts' to her children, which shows the importance of honesty, trust and mutual respect. She further says that she completely trusts her nanny and never interferes in her work. In return, they also exceed expectations in providing care.

Parveen also notes that being able to afford full-time childcare is a privilege. She says that with their help her nannies are able to provide good education to their children, which she considers an essential part of this system.

People's reactions on social media

Social media users have given a lot of reactions on this video. Many people have praised Parveen's transparency and parenting style…

One user commented: "You did a great job. Never feel bad about asking for help or taking care of your needs. Well done." Another user wrote: "Having a nanny doesn't mean 'less parenting' but better parenting with energy. If you're exhausted all day long, juggling work, home, and a child, you're physically present but mentally exhausted. A nanny helps you recharge so that when you're with your child, you're more patient, more playful, and more emotionally available. It's a great thing if you have two nannies." Is.” A third user wrote: "Thank you for sharing this. It really takes a lot of courage."

How to find the right nanny

In her video, Parveen has also given some practical tips to find a reliable nanny. She said she finds nannies using her apartment society's WhatsApp group or apps like MyGate. For those who live in separate homes, she recommends asking neighbors and people nearby.

Parveen's approach emphasizes that the right nanny is not just an employee, but a partner in parenting, providing support, security, and emotional stability to both parents and children.
