How to Choose the Right Nanny by Observing Facial Expressions
Nannies and housekeepers are increasingly common in modern life. Many families hire them, and a good one can keep daily routines running smoothly. Whether it’s a postpartum caregiver or a part-time worker, they can manage the household to varying degrees, which is truly invaluable. Unfortunately, the quality of nannies and housekeepers varies widely. Some may have bad tempers, some may be untidy, and others may struggle with communication. News reports have even exposed cases of child and elder abuse. Instead of easing a family’s burden, the wrong hire can create a lot of trouble. So how can you find a more suitable nanny or housekeeper? Teacher Hongxiang suggests starting with facial features or considering other aspects such as zodiac signs to find a good match.
1. Close-Set Ears
People with close-set ears tend to be compliant, but it’s also important that their ear contours are smooth with even, fleshy lobes. Such individuals usually have good character and virtue, follow household instructions without arguing, and are unlikely to complain about hard work.
2. Rounded Cheeks
Those with rounded cheeks and a gentle demeanor are generally more tolerant. If mistakes occur, they can accept criticism or blame from family members without extreme reactions, making awkward situations less likely.
3. Even Eyebrows
Individuals with even eyebrows and no inverted or broken brows tend to be diligent, organized, and responsible, with high self-expectations. They are likely to handle tasks well. However, if there are inverted or broken brows, choose carefully, as they may be difficult to manage.
4. Bright Eyes
People with bright, clear eyes are usually pure and intelligent, with strong judgment. Conversely, those with dull, murky, or very bloodshot eyes may be careless, unclear, and indecisive, and more likely to hold grudges.
5. Square Mouth Shape
A person with a square mouth that is straight and symmetrical, with moderate fullness, tends to speak clearly and coherently and rarely engages in gossip, resulting in fewer disputes. They are also less likely to influence family members’ judgment and are generally honest and reliable. It’s also important to check whether their teeth are straight. Teacher Hongxiang advises that if both the upper and lower lips are too thin, think twice, as they may be more talkative.
6. Astrological Considerations
Generally, it’s best to choose someone whose zodiac sign is compatible with yours. You can select from four harmonious combinations: Rat-Dragon-Monkey, Ox-Snake-Rooster, Tiger-Horse-Dog, and Rabbit-Sheep-Pig. Teacher Hongxiang also suggests six complementary pairs: Rat-Ox, Tiger-Pig, Rabbit-Dog, Dragon-Rooster, Snake-Monkey, and Horse-Sheep. Avoid combinations that clash: Rat-Horse, Ox-Sheep, Tiger-Monkey, Rabbit-Rooster, Dragon-Dog, and Snake-Pig. If the nanny or housekeeper can provide their exact birth time, you can analyze whether their day master clashes with yours and whether their preferences align. Since many nannies and housekeepers work away from home and may have faced hardships or limited family support, analyzing their astrological situation can help avoid hiring someone who may clash with the household.
7. Living Location
The living location of the nanny or housekeeper should also be considered in relation to the homeowner’s supportive positions. Avoid choosing locations in areas associated with official positions or romantic interests to prevent any adverse situations.
