父母雙職工無法照顧孩子,不少爺爺奶奶們就承擔起了照顧孫輩的工作,他們不僅操心費力,有時候還要額外搭錢補貼子女的小家庭。
Granny nanny is a grandmother who cares for her grandchildren while their parents are working. Families squeezed by falling real incomes and rising childcare costs are increasingly relying on the generosity of ‘granny nannies’ to help them out. The term granny nanny can also refer to a nanny (that is, a non-relative hired to care for one’s children) who is a senior or to a person hired to care for a senior. The nation’s granny nannies carry out £22,000 worth of unpaid chores over the summer holidays, a study has revealed. |
