saan kayo kumukuha ng yaya?

[cheskacruz]

Kailangan ko rin ng yaya...

[gorgeousmama]

Havent found a yaya and maid also. They always leave. Wala pa yata nagtatagal ng 1 yr. weve been living in a condo for 3 years na.Lahat ng reason nila homesick malungkot daw dito. Although d naman sila binabawalan lumabas. I gave up asking for my mil tomlook for a yaya and helper kasi iniiapoiled nya. Mga sis any of you ba tried the agency called Maid Provider. Mukhang okay. Kung meron pashare naman ng exp nyo pls. Thanks

Sis kiz_mel1109 oo nga. Pahamak ang 4Ps sa province. Tinuturuan lang nila maging tamad mga tao dun

sis, i think I came accross a posts wherein she mentioned na pangit ding kumuha sa maid provider

were on the same boat, wala ding timstsgsl na maid aamin kasi malungkot daw, i dunno why,

[younis]

^hello sis, musta ka na? di ko na rin tinuloy kumuha kay Bing after what happened to you... hay ang hirap maghanap ng helper talaga. hmmm...

sa ngayon, ang nacoconsider namin ni hubby eh, kumuha na lang ng malayong relative to stay with us.

[Scubadoobidoo]

We always get from the provinces and never from agencies. But be warned...yung mga galing sa probinsya always gets homesick specially yung mga first time lumayo sa family. It can take some time to find the right one pero its more worth it than getting from the agencies. I think fact of life na talaga nowadays mahirap maka hanap ng maid. We went thru 2 maids na this year kasi both from the provinces and got homesick (one even refused to eat and si wifey nag freak out) pero so far hindi pa naman kami nababakante kahit alis sila ng alis. Tiyaga lang talaga pero when you find the right one sobrang worth it

[babyboo.0326]

i need na rin kumuha ng helper. bubukod na ako ang i'm only bringing the kids with me. kaso i work at night. 

[sassy_taurus8]

^^You're still lucky at hindi kayo nababakante. Its really frustrating and annoying na rin na alis ng alis ang mga hh, long term dilemma na nga ata ang paghahanap ng matinong yaya/hh nowadays. It's a big NO-NO for us ni hubby na kumuha from agencies, even our friends dont recommend it. The problem is nagkakaubusan na sa provinces on both sides namin ni hubby, ayaw ng magkatulong ng mga tao dun, gusto pagnagMaynila, tindera sa mga stalls sa mall ang trabaho. 

[Scubadoobidoo]

Always include it in your condition na if aalis they have to wait for a kapalit. So far lucky pa naman kami. Pag sinabi kasi aalis na ayun todo kulit na kami ni wifey sa mga friends and contacts namin. Its also good practice to ask for referrals from the maids of your relatives, officemates and friends. Nakakapagod pero for me and my wife worth it naman kasi may peace of mind kami instead of getting from the agencies

[Kady_14]

I need a new one too. Unfortunately hindi kasing dali kumuha ng maid and yung mga nakukuha ko walang pakisama kaya kahit wala pa kapalit nagiimbento ng dahilan para umalis. Minsan nakakaloko na ang mga dahilan nila. The last yaya I had who left today, her reason was she needs to go home kasi she was again granted 4Ps (welfare support) and umuwi ang mga kamag-anak ng asawa nya from Canada. 

I would have given her extra or shopped for her kids in the province, pero nainis nya ako kaya wala ako binigay. extra P100 lang pang dagdag pamasahe. Imagine she asked kelan ang pasok ng mga kids, I told her June 4 and 5. So ayun, sinakto na June 4 umalis. Nga naman, if she stays here pa dagdag trabaho since pasukan na ulit.

[Scubadoobidoo]

We found from years of experience talaga never compromise your standards. Kasi if you do sa sobrang desperate mo magka maid you will get the "garbage". Those that really want to work and earn will never mind your reasonable standards. Napansin namin yung mga desidido mag trabaho will always be willing to have 2 months of their salary deducted...pero yung mga hindi disidido hindi papayag

[Kady_14]

Scubadoobidoo - share mo naman sa amin ang contract or conditions file mo for new helpers. Baka pwede iedit na lang namin hehe.

[Scubadoobidoo]

Yung contract namin kasi for maid is this:

1. At least one year employment. If not two months salary deduction. (this is the first thing we deduct agad no ifs ands or buts) If naka one year the 2 months is returned to them.

2. IF naka two year sila they get a paid round trip ticket para magbakasyon for 2 weeks.

3. 13th month pay. 500 pesos on their birthday.

4. We try to get those na never panaka punta dito sa manila, the only draw back is some do get homesick but those that are really intent on working to help their family back home will stay for more than a year.

5. Salary increase of 250 per year. Starting nila is always 3k.

6. All their sanitary needs from soap, shampoo, sanitary napkins are shouldered by us.

7. 1 day off per month no over nights.

8. They get 4 meals per day. Hindi kami nag tipid ng food for them pero they should not touch food thats not theirs. Seperate ang pantry nila. They eat as much as they want pero bawal tamad.

9. They can watch as much tv as they want as long as tapos lahat ng chores and malinis ang bahay.

10. One month advance notice if they are leaving para may time maka hanap ng kapalit.

11. And finally the way for us to impose all of these...their salary we deposit it in a bank account under our name. Fully accounted for lahat yan with matching notebook. Selling point dito si we want them to save. If they need money to send, we withdraw it for them. Our last maid sobrang tuwang tuwa [textspeak!] she left kasi naka ipon sya close to 20k considering ilang beses sya nag padala sa province.

The decent ones will not mind these rules specially if you treat them right naman. Kasi we make it a point to treat them sort of like family pero not too much. May boundary parin. Yung mga *censored* would not agree to these rules agad. For us ok lang if ayaw nila kasi ayaw din namin sa kanila. It saves us time and effort sa training. Hope this helps 

[babyboo.0326]

^this will definitely help us!

ako nakahanap ako but hindi pa siya lumuluwas from Quezon. she's the niece of my kumare's BIL. pinakukuha ko muna ng NBI clearance and barangay clearance and birth cert from NSO, pati na rin SSS number niya pinakukuha ko na doon.

[gorgeousmama]

^hello sis, musta ka na? di ko na rin tinuloy kumuha kay Bing after what happened to you... hay ang hirap maghanap ng helper talaga. hmmm...

sa ngayon, ang nacoconsider namin ni hubby eh, kumuha na lang ng malayong relative to stay with us.

hi sis, sensya na di ko na natuloy kwento ko sau, kasi naging busy ako sa household chores huhu

up to now wala pa din akong maid, syang nga me isa palang sisses na ngbigay sakin ng maid unfortunately di ko nabasa kasi sa fb ko nya pinadala and sa other folder, sayang

then me ngte text sakin na di daw sya agency but marami syang maibibigay di ko pinatulan kahit desperate na kong mgka maid kasi 2-3 days lang ako magre rest but the sakit ng ulo will last longer


oo sis wag ka ng kumuha ke BING, dami ngang ng pm sakin re that agency but i dont recommend

di rin trustworthy si BING,  she's  no different from all the maid agencies na PERA LANG TALAGa
ang concern
ME CONNIVANCE TALAGA SILA NG MGA MAID SYEMPRE PAGKAKITAAN NILA  mga maids so
dun loyalty nila

Since from the start me LOKOHAN na talaga

NASA taGAYTAY AKO when Bing called up, she found a maid na daw suited to my requirements
so okey na but since we will be staying overnight in Tagaytay sabi ko tomorrow na lang nya ihatid
that was Sunday, when I got home , I texted her, no reply, then I called up her house, obviously
nagtago, the ff day Monday I was waiting for her call, NADA, SO AGAIN i CALLED UP HER,
sabi nya ngbago daw isip coz she was attached to her ALAGA she went back, sabi ko why she did
not cal, and the more she reasoned out the more na obvious the lies.

two days after that she called again MERON ULIT, to think na i ignored the maid that was offered by another agency,,, then when finally I met the maid, I had this inkling na she was the same maid that
earlier backed out,,, but I let it slide but I was able to confirmed it.

okey yung maid  sa umpisa, I like her, masipag alam ang trabaho, but she's always on the phone talking, after a week she said she wants to be replaced, she cited reasons na mababaw
so sabi ko ke BING bka naman I can adjust or compromise, so settled na, akala ko okey na lahat coz acc to the maid she will stay na lang, she started March 21 but she said April 5 daw she would leave,
coz daming alibi, so sabi ko ke BING, mybe na pirate coz she's always on the phone and she admitted naman na yes to BIng, then again she would stay, so okey na,
one time ngtapon sya ng basura, the door was locked, BIng texted me coz were out nag dinner kaming family, Im wondering why the maid texted BIng and not me instead,,,

meron ba silang agenda??, why lagi silang magkasuap, then eto na, me sakit si kuya, sunod malubha si kuya, sunod namatay na  si kuya, she needs to go home, ,, and asked  me to get a reliever for a week
sabi ko ayoko ng ganun, then BING KUNO persuaded her not to go home,but grabe sobrang kapal
she insisted she has to go home, ngwala, umiyak, went outside as if Im hostaging her,,
I called up BIng, she wont answer my calls, biglang cannot be reached, e kakausap ko lang a few seconds ago

then  cousin"s maid  fetched her take note maid  lang ha  but me kasamang driver at naka SUV
went to barangay and told them she has to go home for the burial, the stu...d  barangay
believes her story,,, again BINg cannot be reached

To cut the story short, she left  and your guess is good as mine

what really pisses me off  and irritates me, was they made me feel Im stu..id and made a fool of me
when very obvious na LUMANG STYLE  na nga yan di ba???

tapos yun bang ikaw yung lalabas na masamang amo na baka kaya di tumagal sau kasi you are
mistreating them ,,

haayy insip ko na lang kasi mgka wave lenght sila nung Barangay staff to believe in that BULOK NA
ALIBI ganun ,,,
BUT it was a relief na din, karma karma lang yan <<

I remember nung na pirate ng neighbor ko yung maid ko after a week pinalayas nya din kasi damin nasira

so I had the last laugh!!!

but i reiterate sis younis thanks for your help,,, ganun talaga ang life, lol

pag me nakuha ka batuhan mo na lang ako ng isa, pls

PS

Ingat nga pala sisses  that maid was able to present a copy of NBI, but when I searched her things
I found out that  the her name in the nbi record was totally different kaya pala sa bio data nya naka erase yung SURNAME, FORCE OF HABIT BA, KASI REAL SURNAME YUNG UNA NYANG NA I FILL UP
suddenly she remembers siguro na she is using a bogus name,, kasi dun sa pera padala like yung LBCpareho sila ng apelyido ng asawa nya but different nga sa NBI,,

so my conclusion is PEKE NBI NYA baka sa RECTO lang pinagawa,,, so it follows na kahit complete doc pinasa , we cannot be assured na safe tayo, kasi why would she change her family name???
I cannot comprehend that

[babyboo.0326]

^grabe naman talaga ang mga modus ngayon.

ako naman i thought na ok na ang nakuha ko although bata pa (18 lang kasi). since ni-recommend siya ng BIL ng kumare ko, niece kasi siya, so sabi ko why not?

sinundo ko siya sa bus station nung sunday, mind you, on my birthday pa! before that, nung sinabi ko na sige kukunin ko na siya, aba, hindi pa nga nakakakuha ng SSS number at birth vertificate, bumabale na agad! so sinabihan ko na, ako nga kailangan ko muna pumasok sa trabaho para mabayaran e, so dapat ganun din siya.

kahapon, she told me na 1 month lang daw siya. kasi daw hindi sila magkasundo ng mom ko. knowing my mom, she has a tendency nga na pilitin what the maid wants to do or pagsabihan si maid/yaya kung ano ang tama for her and my liking. hindi ata ganun ang dating kay yaya.

come afternoon, nagtext ang kumare ko. nagtext daw sa kanya yung yaya, telling her na hindi pa daw siya ready maging HH. nagtext din pala sa asawa ng tito niya.

the hassle she has put me through. yung pagmamadali niyang makaluwas dito. binilhan ko ng toiletries and all, tapos eto. ang hirap sa mga helpers now marami na sa kanila choosy. ang gusto lang ata pag yaya, as in yaya. hindi ata kasama sa kanila ang pagluluto ng food for their alaga. 

[younis]

^^tsk tsk... i feel so sad about what happened. tama ka, Bing is no difference from the others, pera pera lang talaga.

ako rin sis, wala pa rin maid gang ngayon. tina-try namin kunin yung relative ng in laws ko from cavite. sana makakuha na tayo ng trusthworthy na makaka-sama sa bahay.

[Red Rack 21]

ako referral  ng former HH k. hindi na sya  maka work kasi nag baby ulit. yung ni refer nya 2 yrs na sa akin. that former HH ko is the best one i have ever had. inofferan ko talaga ng malaking salary yun pero hindi na sya talaga pwede kasi nga 4 na anak. from time to time sa kanya ako lagi nagpapahanap taga dun din sa kanila sa laguna lang. itong ni refer nya neighbor nya lang.

[Kady_14]

I have a new one coming this week "daw". Referred by our kumpare. Dati nilang maid years ago. Nasa Quezon pa. Although our kumpare has good words for her. Hindi pa rin ako mapalagay since wala na akong nakuhang "matino" since umalis yung long time helper ko nung Dec. (had three new ones puro sablay since January) nakakadala.

Wala pa, dami ko nang naiisip. Sana mali ako.

- she's older than me 39 na ata or early 40s. (baka mahirap mag paki, paki)
- si husband ay nasa QC lang. (baka ipa overnight si kuya kapag wala kami sa bahay)
- hindi siya ng-ask ng pamasahe. So i'm thinking baka aalis din agad since andito nga lang ang asawa.

[hunny_ally]

I recently had a temp who was recommended by one of the yayas from the condo. Kapitbahay daw from fairview. Since I'll only be needing her for a month I never really got strict with the requirements. On hindsight now, maybe I got so desperate kasi I know I'll have a hard time managing the house plus 3 kids all alone.

Dumating siya all black and blue. Binugbog daw ng husband kasi ayaw siya pagtrabahuhin. Eh she needs daw money cause magpapasukan na. Day 3 she made paalam cause pinatatawag daw siya ng Barangay related to the bugbugab. Pinayagan ko kasi naawa ako. I mean pasa-pasa sa katawan is a good enough proof right? Or so I thought.

A week after starting nagpaalam ulit. May sakit si anak. Ano pa bang magagawa kundi payagan. Took her 2 days to come back since namatay din daw si mother in law and nakipaglibing siya.

Then one night nagpaalam sa akin if she can go to the nearby grocery. Since I'm putting the kids to bed, I told her to bring the key with her so I don't have to  open the door for her.

When I woke up the following morning, i saw a msg from her na while in the grocery she received a text that her bunso daw was rushed to the hospital. Sa panic niya, hindi na siya nakauwi. Nainis ako and demanded that she comes home and bring back my key. Nag reply na kesyo critical daw anak niya and was in the ICU. By this point I had my front door locks changed.

A week after nag text saying sorry na ngayon na Lang daw nakipag-communicate. Her kid daw died and was busy with the funeral. She asked if she can come by and get her things. Naaawa my husband and asked me to give her some money. Eh buti na Lang wala akong pera when she came over.

Weeks after that, I saw one of the yayas who was her neighbor (here kasi sa condo madami silang galing sa iisang area), and what she told me scared the hell out of me:

- walang namatay na anak. All 6 kids (and not 3 like she told me) are alive
- hindi din namatay her in law
- she was blacklisted from a nearby condo for stealing from her Indian employer (this pisses me off kasi why that yaya recommended her eh may record na pala. Kaya pala she was refusing to have her picture taken one time my daughter was playing with my phone. May record pala)
- kaya siya binugbog the hubby is because she's having an affair with the brother in law. I'm assuming the BIL too is the reason for her "emergencies"
- the BIL was her shabu buddy

The last revelation really shook me to the core. I mean I let a druggie inside my house and looked after my kids? Good thing I'm a stay at home mom and never left them alone with her (well except when I'm in bath).

Lesson learned: you're not even safe too with referrals.

[momentum]

^ OMG  how scary is that??!! sana pala sis nung nagpapa-alam siya ng nag-papaalam sayo eh na-mention mo dun sa yaya na rinefer and do more background investigation.ganun kasi kami when we get referrals, pag-mejo off something, we let the referrer know. pero thank God walang nawala or nangyari sa inyo 

[younis]

^^I remember commenting here before something like "kahit referral or galing agency, pare-perahas lang yan"... the risk you get from agency is the same risk you get out from referral as well.
