4 years ago I’ve worked as a babysitter in my spare time and I’ve never had trouble finding work. I guess the main reason was that I already had 2 years of work experience and was therefore trustworthy and qualified.
Because of T and my insecurities I stopped working as one and focused on school and studies.
Now I am trying to find work again and even though I texted countless families, I’m still jobless, you could argue that it is because of Corona but my sister looked as well for babysitter jobs and already has 3 children to look after (our work experience is almost the same).
And now comes the funny part about all this. In these past 4 years there is just one thing that changed about me.
My gender.
My experience didn’t vanish, my character stayed the same and my overall competence too.
It is not the first time that I hear about men having difficulties to work as a nursery nurse because of parents. Apparently parents think that because of their gender they are pedophiles, so everytime they carry a child they get a weird look from them. But now it is the first time that I experience something like this on my own and it really sucks.
2 years ago we discussed adoption in the religious study classe and my RE Teacher asked us why gay couples have so much trouble finding a child to adopt and the answer was not because of a long waiting list but because of parents who often say that they don’t want two men taking care of their child in fear of pedophilia. And isn’t that a really ridiculous thing.
My main point is that this whole gender thing is absurd. Testosterone doesn’t turn a person into a pedophile. I am still me. And I wanna work as a babysitter because I wanna earn money and have experince and confidence in this work field and not because I wanna touch little children. So let’s stop this gender discrimination let’s start seeing people as individuals with their own characteristics and mentality.
