We hired Chinwe as a housegirl when our twins were two. At first, I was cautious. She was barely 20, soft-spoken and shy. But over time, her gentle way with the children warmed our hearts. One day, I overheard her say to my son, “Always thank people who help you, even if they’re paid to.”
That line stuck. Now, my children don’t just demand, they ask. They don’t just expect, they acknowledge. Chinwe didn’t just clean or babysit; she modeled kindness and empathy in ways that stuck.
Aron helps remind us that domestic staff aren’t just workers, they’re role models in their own quiet ways.
