What are some Filipino nanny horror stories?

It's not common at all. The vast majority of Filipino nannies are highly professional and loving towards the children they take care of. However, just like in any profession, there might be a few bad apples that get more attention because of the drama they create. But in general, it's unfair to assume that these horror stories are a common occurrence.

One horror story could be related to legal issues. There have been instances where the paperwork for the marriage, especially when it involves international marriages with Filipino brides, was not done properly. This led to problems like the bride being in an uncertain immigration status. And also, in some rare cases, there were reports of brides being exploited by unscrupulous marriage brokers who promised them a better life but ended up in bad situations.

One nanny horror story is when a nanny was caught stealing from the family. She took not only small items like jewelry but also cash that was hidden in the house. The family trusted her completely, and it was a huge shock to find out she had been stealing for months.

The 'Tikbalang' is also a well - known part of Filipino horror lore. It is a creature that is half - man and half - horse. It is known to play tricks on travelers, leading them astray in the forest or mountains. People believe that if you encounter a Tikbalang, you should take off your shirt and wear it inside out to escape it.

One Filipino office horror story I've heard is about a late - night worker. He was always the last one to leave the office. One night, while he was finishing up some reports, he heard strange typing noises from an empty cubicle. When he went to check, no one was there, but the typing continued. It really freaked him out.

A lot of live - in nanny horror stories involve issues with boundaries. For instance, the nanny might overstep and try to control family decisions or be too nosy about the family's private affairs. There are also situations where the nanny has a bad attitude and constantly argues with the parents about how to raise the children, causing a lot of stress and disharmony in the household.

Well, there are quite a few. For example, a family noticed through their nanny cam that the nanny they hired was completely ignoring their toddler most of the day. The poor child was left to fend for himself, crying and trying to get the nanny's attention but in vain. In another instance, a nanny was caught on camera using drugs in the family's bathroom while the children were asleep in the next room. It was a terrifying discovery for the parents as they had trusted this person with the care of their little ones.

One nanny family horror story is about a nanny who secretly drugged the children to make them sleep all day so she could relax and watch TV. The parents only found out when one of the kids got really sick and they took him to the doctor. The doctor detected the drug in his system.

One common horror story is about the issue of financial exploitation. Some brides find that their partners expect them to bear all the household expenses while also sending money back to their families in the Philippines. For example, a friend of mine married a Filipino bride, and he started to restrict her access to money for basic needs like groceries after a while. Another is the cultural misunderstanding. Filipino brides often come from a very family - centered culture. If the husband doesn't understand this and tries to isolate her from her family, it can lead to a lot of emotional distress for the bride.

There's a story about the 'Mangkukulam' or witch in Filipino folklore. A Mangkukulam has the power to cast curses on people. They can use black magic to make people sick, have bad luck, or even die. People in the villages used to be very afraid of them and would take precautions like wearing amulets or performing certain rituals to protect themselves from the wrath of a Mangkukulam.
