New Home mga sisses...

I am really praying makahanap na ako ng yaya this coming April..

[reb_woods072683]

cldy_1981 - sis salamat wag sana mausog. kaya nga mabait din talaga kami sa kanya eh kasi super bait niya sa anak ko. sinasama namin siya pagumaalis kami, kasabay namin kumakain kahit sa pag nasa labas kame, kung ano order namin, yun din ioorder namin sa kanya. we treat her as family member na nga eh.

[super bratinella]

Ganyan din ang HH namin ngayon, kung saan ang lakad namin family kasama siya, minsan pa nga mas marami kaming utos sa eldest ko kaysa sa kanya pagnasa labas kami kasi we want to train our kids to independent na rin kasi.

Tapos sobrang petics ng HH ko kung hindi uutusan hindi kikilos, aalis na siya this April5, feeling ko nirefer ng kapatid niya sa ibang amo mas malapit sila ng house pero sabi kasi ni HH magaaral daw siya sa province pero walang flight ticket back to Zamboanga.

Sana lang kasing luwag ng workload niya sa amin ang lilipatan niya.

Mywas able to find a yaya for us. Yaya sya nung anak ng kapitbahay ng parents ko, haha na pirate ni mommy   

Pero seriously, gusto na daw kasi umalis dun sa pinapasukan now kasi lilipat ng condo & the space is super small daw its a 1 b/r condo tapos sama sama sila numg amo nya na girl, amo na guy, kid & kapatid na guy nun amo na girl in 1 room tapos no space nga daw to move around so ayaw nya.

Tinanong ko mom ko what's her background & if ok naman, sabi nya the yaya has been w/ the family daw for the last 7 months. Ok naman daw magalaga, mukhang malinis sa katawan & sa alaga nya. Has 3 kids in CDO & separated from the husband, the kids are staying w/ thr in laws. I was able to speak with her briefly but havent met her yet. Sana ok sya kasi kelangan ko na ng help with my son... The basics i can do but i honestly dont know how to take care of a new born like the paligo part. Takot na takot ako. Kahit nga yung punas punas part i donit with caution tapos na bo-bother ako pag umiiyak na yung anak ko.

Sana talaga this works out!

I got lucky with my yaya. I t was my mother in law who found her, she was the yaya of my MIL's friend's daughter. She is a newborn yaya and has been one for a long time (she's 50+ na) so she definitely knows a lot more than I do on how to care for a newborn! She was the one who recommended my current pedia and when we went for our first checkup my pedia even told me that I don't need to worry about leaving my baby with the yaya as she is very good. What's funny pa is while waiting at the pedia's office, the other mothers recognized her as well! I guess she's notorious for the right reasons hahaha

The only complaint I have is that she treats my baby as though it were her own baby or apo, she always wants the baby with her at all times. There were times when she wouldn't let me hold my own baby or would go out of the room w/ baby if I entered. Early on she would also make comments na the baby prefers her over me (when being carried) or the baby doesn't like my milk coz it tastes bad. I was really getting annoyed na but also talked to her about it. For my baby's first month we stayed with my in laws and the yaya slept with me and baby while hubby slept in another room. Now that we're back home the yaya doesn't feel comfortable sleeping with us so I take care of Hailey at night. Every night the yaya will ask me if Hailey can sleep in their room (Hailey's room) but since it would entail turning on another aircon I say no. There was one night when I thought I had a cold (it was allergies pala) and I had Hailey sleep with yaya in their room, yaya's face literally lit up! Haha she was so happy.

Umalis na ang yaya ko kanina, after 5years straight may yaya kami, kaya super adjustment talaga ako although I have two kids ages 12 and 5, kaya managable naman kaso ang household chores, kaya call for help muna ako sa mama ko to look after our kids, while still looking for new yaya.

Need ko talaga balance lahat ang bagal ko pa naman kumilos kasi medyo maselan ako sa bahay, kaya dapat lahat malinis at maayos.

I am really praying makahanap kami matinong yaya.

[cldy_1981]

Our new yaya finally arrived last Tues night. Di sya type ng husband ko, he cant naman pinpoint why pero di magaan loob nya. Me naman im also ilang bec personally i prefer sana to have our household to ourselves but with the baby, kelangan talaga ng may hh & yaya.

Sya na yung nagpaligo sa son ko yesterday, ok naman plus sya yung nagbabantay... So far i cant say na super ok sya pero wala parin naman akong nakikitang negative. Although medyo matakaw sya & inask na yung hh namin if yung tv daw hindi pwedeng buksan...  lets see how this works out.

[wengerts]

^^if i were you ininterview ko ang ibang mommies. Hehe. Just a thought! While it may be good she is known for something, it would be better to know what for

Naalala ko ang previous yaya ng baby ko nag aiaircon pala sa gabi my goodness. Kaya pala biglang laki ang bill namin. Hay buhay

[this_is_me]

san agency ok kumuha ng yaya?

[cldy_1981]

Mga my husband & i finally spoke last night and decided na di namIn type talaga itong new yaya. Gut feel lang pero there's something we dont like & trust abt her. Tapos naasar pako kahapon kasi my son used his CD eh medyo malaki pa sya  g konti so i think the pee leaked. Di nya pinalitan! Kaya ko lang nalaman na nag pee son ko kasi i saw a stain sa anti stain liner ng bed nya, tapos nung tinanong ko kung ano yun chaka  ya sinabi na pee. I mean isnt it basic na pag nag wiwi palitan?! Chakanaasar ako kasi ngayon panga lang na nandito pa ako di na maayos eh what more pag wala na ako & i go back to work diba?

My wuestion wouldbe how do you ladies suggest i speak to her when i let her go? Which i plan to do na sana by tom.

[lyca28]

sis kausapin mo sya ngayon palang para di sya magulat. Pr clear kayo at wlang masyadong samaan ng loob pag alis nya..

[twelvth_goddess]

Khriseee - I'm happy that your yaya loves your kid but be wary din kase sometimes they forget their boundaries and they cross the line. Minsan nakakalimutan nila na ikaw ang parent and ikaw pa din masusunod

[super bratinella]

May mga yaya talaga na todo training talaga dapat, because hindi pa rin sila nagiging ina at ang level ng common sense nila dapat tayo ang stoop down, we need to talk to them and train them in a way that they can understand, kahit na maging paulit ulit na tayo.

Kasi minsan pagnatuto sila sa atin at na train natin sila, makakasanayan na rin nila ang mga Standards natin sa house at sa mga kids natin, pero sometimes may mga HH na ayaw talagang matuto.

[cldy_1981]

We finally got rid of the yaya! Yay! I think we really made the right decision, ang gaan ulit ng aura ng house namin chaka mas maaliwalas ang feeling.

I told her yeaterdy afternoon & sent her packing this AM. Nalaman ko pa from our HH na madami syang reklamo, kabago bago palang nya. Grrrrr!

[chic_clothes]

i got a yaya today..medyo malaki built niya kayaok for me coz my child is a boy and nasa kalikutan stage so dapat medyo malaki si yaya magaan din loob ko sa kanya and hopefully ganun din si hubby when he gets home later..from bicol sila ng kasama niya..

[cldy_1981]

Question? Do tour yayas just solely/exclusively take care of your babies/kids or do they also have other chores? If yes, what are the other stuff that you assign them to do?

[ishko]

^sis, sa yaya ko kasama ang laba pag weekend pero damit ni baby ang priority.. tapos minsan errand at minsan luto dahil kakain din siya, yan lang ang ginagawa nya.. separate ang sweldo nya sa paglaba ng damit ng sis ko

madalas naman mom ko nag-aalaga kay baby

everynight pagdating ko sa bahay, ako naglilinis ng bottles at mga gamit ni baby pati naglilinis ng bahay at ng mga utensils na ginamit nila kasi si yaya ayaw na kumilos at watch ng tv

question mga sis: magkano ang gastos nyo kay yaya aside from salary? magkano ang food allowance per month, yung toiletries nya at iba pa.. tsaka pano yung food nya? lahat ng makita nya sa ref or sa kitchen pwede nya kainin?

kasi ako parang more than 10k ang nadagdag sa budget para kay yaya..

[cldy_1981]

Sis kaya ko natanong kasi im not sure if mashadong mabigat or magaan ba work ng hh namin.

Now kasi laba lang ng gamit ng baby, linis and hain ng food and wash dishes lang sya plus some errands lang.

Khriseee - I'm happy that your yaya loves your kid but be wary din kase sometimes they forget their boundaries and they cross the line. Minsan nakakalimutan nila na ikaw ang parent and ikaw pa din masusunod

True, though I'm playing it by ear for now though as I've never managed household help or yayas previously. Any tips you can share on how to keep them in line?

[beatrize zuri]

ang hirap talaga ng walang yy and hh sa bahay, nagbakasyon kasi sila at sa end of the month pa ang uwi nila. buti na lang bakasyon ng 2 boys ko pero yung youngest ko biglang nawalan ng gana sa pagkain namimiss siguro yung yaya niya, ang hirap talaga. sana mag 30th na    haay...
