All About Yayas (Nannies) Thread 2

[LC]

Lucky din ako Hindi pala day off si yaya. Usapan before at least once or twice a month but pansin ko once a month Lang sometimes even once every two months so there. Sana wala siya bf sabi nun isang hh ko may bf daw si yaya. I worry Baka di mag concentrate sa job or maging pala utangin

[daisy_duck]

Our yaya's been with us for 5 mos already. Once a month off, uwi siya Friday pm pagdating namin from work then balik cya Sunday Am. If ayaw niyang umuwi, I give her extra P300. Since our son started school last June, nag salary increase si yaya kasi additional labahin yung uniform ni bebe. I buy her snacks (biscuits) and energen bi monthly and iron supplements kasi pansin ko ang putla. Im satisfied naman though yaya sometimes needs a little push and dapat turuan minsan.

Hi sis! yup first concen talaga is clearance ng health ng yaya yan ang inuna namin even before, ako nagpaxray and everything better ako mag asikaso than agency, mamaya eh na doctor lang documents ( praning hehe) marami kasi horror stories tungkol sa nahawa ni yaya si baby etc

[super bratinella]

Super ok sa akin ang yaya ko ngayon pero si hubby tinatarayan naman niya pero super tanggol ako sa yaya namin kasi bet ko siya, baliktad naman nung yaya namin prior to her kasi ang init ng dugo ko sa kanya kasi shortcut lahat ng trabaho at nagpapakasosyal, ayaw matag na yaya siya.

Ngayon yaya ko masaya ako sa trabaho niya and how she respond to utos, pulido talaga.

[bluegintonic]

Hi all,I'm just curious.Would there be a nanny who would agree to a short term employment? I think it would be done through an agency, tama ba? I need one kasi for 3 months lang (while we're in the country) and if so, part kaya ng agency requirements yung health clearances? I really have no ideas how much we should pay a nanny kasi sa pagkaka alam ko,like agencies everywhere it's the agencies that take most of the pay  .

I was mortified when I  heard people saying , "where's your baby's yaya?" Bakit ganun? Hindi na ba acceptable na mommy ang nag-aalaga ng babies nila?We just had to keep saying we don't live in the country.kahit saan kami mapunta-malls, restos, even sa Gymboree, bihira na ang mommy ang kasama  ng bata (at least ganun naging experience ko).I'd love to really move back to the Phils. para makapag-off naman ako so this upcoming vacay, I really look forward to having a nanny-marami kasi kaming dapat lakarin at ayusin ni hubs.TIA for the upcoming replies 

[stormy]

^hindi ko masagot ibang tanong mo sis, ang masagot ko lang yung laging natatanong nasaan ang yaya ng anak mo kapag nasa mall atbp na lugar. Wala rin kasi yaya anak ko, wala rin kaming maid. Nun nasa preschool anak ko iniexpect rin ng mga schools na may yaya, sinasabihan na agad na bawal ang yaya maghintay sa school premises. Kapag nasa play area iaask if may maiiwan na yaya etc etc.

Mas madalas na kasi na dalawa ang kumakayod sa mag-asawa para maitaguyod ang pamilya.

Naging exception na na nanay ang nag aalaga kaysa maging rule kaya ganyan ang naexperience mo sis.

[khriseeee]

^^not exactly related but i'm thinking about not bringing my yaya along when i take my baby out. My yaya has a habit of looking at the price os everything i buy, last time i brought her to the grocery she kept looking at how much the total was, as in she was at the end of the counter, bending down to read the amount. I got so annoyed i told her out right, what are you looking at ba? She just laughed and walked a bit away with my baby. So annoying! I don't want her to see how much i spend! Tapos whenever we are out she kweps asking if we are going home na, she refuses to eat, she walks away with my baby na i won't know where they went na i feel rin that she fuels my baby's fussiness, when my baby cries in front of people my yaya will run away and hold her head super close to her as if protecting her from some danger, eh i took my baby out to the mall yesterday (yaya had her day off) and she was perfectly fine. Yes she cried im fromt of some people but she stopped rin naman.

I get more stressed when my yaya comes along with us can i leave her at home? Hahahaha

[reb_woods072683]

^^ alam mo sis ganyan ang ginagawa ko. I seldom bring my daughter's yaya with us unless it is necessary. When I do grocery with my hubby and he wants to bring our daughter along, iwan lang si yaya. When we go to the mall for my daughter's check up, nasa bahay lang si yaya or nag ooff siya. I don't feel comfortable kasi with the yaya na kasama sa lakad, unless nga necessary like when we go to church. I want to be the one to take care of my daughter when we're out. ayoko din kasi ng may sumusunod sunod sa likuran ko. Hehe.

[pumngold]

same here. naiilang ako kasama ang yaya. minsan nakakainis kapag nakatunganga lang ang yaya. mas ok pa na walang kasama kapag nasa labas kami. bonding na rin namen yun as family with no other person around. i dont care na mahirapan ako paghabol sa baby ko, it is my job as a mother anyway and i am happy with it.   

[bristow_00]

mga sis, how old yung mga yaya ng babies nyo? I'm working kasi and manganganak ako sa september, we have a maid now she's 16 years old, okei naman magtrabaho medyo mahiyain lang hindi cya nagsasalita pag hindi mo tinanong. Balak kasi naman na cya na rin ang maging yaya ng baby namin pag-balik ko sa work, do you think okay lang 16 years old mag-alaga ng newborn?

hi sis, sa inlaws ako titira after birth, ganyan age din yung yaya kukunin ko. wala kasi makuha , nahihirapan kami ni hubby, mag oversee na lang inlaws ko sa yaya . ganun na lang set up, working kami ni hubby and nov naman ako manganganak. sensitive kasi ang newborn.

[reb_woods072683]

Mine was 20 years old but way too mature for a 20 year old girl, which is good.

[beatrize zuri]

my 3 yo daughter's yaya naman is 25yo mag 2 years na siya samin. sobrang sipag and pasensyosa hindi na naman kelangan iutos yung mga gagawin niya. after school ng dau ko papakainin na niya yan tapos tinuturuan niya ng lessons nila or mag papaint sila or maglalaro.

[caprice]

yaya ni baby 25yo pero she's already a mom kaya magaling mag-alaga at mature na. mas OC pa nga sa akin.   love na love sya ni baby. mas love pa kesa sa amin ng daddy nya.  hoping ako na hanggang paglaki sya pa rin ang yaya. sana, sana... 

[LC]

my yaya is 29yo, shes had previous experiences taking care of ( autistic child, elderly, toddlers and infants) also a caregiver knowledgeable in first aid.

[twelvth_goddess]

bristow_00 -- My current yaya is 19 years old and she's been withus since January of this year. When my daughter was a newborn, her yaya was 20 years old; mabait, maalaga, malinis and matino until naka-meet ng tomboy. My current yaya, struggle at first pero natuturuan naman kaso madalas kelangan bantayan kaya minsan nagiging source of stress ko pero pwede na since anjan naman lage mama and sister ko.

If your yaya is 16 years old, sana naman naka-experience mag-alaga ng kapatid or mas bata. Pero imo, kelangan tutukan yan kase yung ganyang age mahilig mag-text manood ng tv etc. Sana din you have a relative who can look after them kapag pumapasok ka na.

[happyfemme]

True, ingat sa yaya na medyo teens pa, medyo attached sa texting and tv.

Yung yaya ng baby ko two years na, medyo ok naman. Importante na malinis sa katawan at gamit si yaya, happy naman ako kasi laging malinis si baby at hindi amoy panis na laway o gatas.

Sabi ng mom ko, ang palatandaan daw kapag pabaya ang yaya is nagkaka rash daw si baby. Ibig sabihin tamad palitan ng damit si baby or pinapatuyuan ni yaya ng pawis si baby. Pag may rash sa bottoms, or sa genitals tamad ang yaya mag linis at mag palit ng diaper. Pag may rash around the mouth, tamad ang yaya mag wipe ng laway or food ang yaya.

May mga friends din ako na medyo source of stress nila ang yaya.

I will just play the "wala ka sa Yaya ko"

1. She also looks at the price tag kapag may binibili ang friend ko.

2. Kung anong brand ng shampoo, soap at lotion ni friend, yun din ang binibili niya.

3. One time dala ni friend si yaya, kumain sila sa Toastbox, nagrereklamo si yaya.
AMO: Bakit hindi mo iniinom ang iced tea mo? Huwag mong sayangin.
YAYA: Eh ate parang iba ang lasa compared nung last time nating punta dito, medyo mapakla. Sana sa CPK nalang tayo kumain. (food blogger ka teh?)

4. Si yaya sensitive daw ang skin.
AMO: Bakit hindi pa tapos ang labahin mo? Eh lampin lang naman ni baby ang nilalabhan mo?
YAYA: Eh ate pwede bang hindi Cycles ang gamitin nating laudry detergent ni baby? Nagkakarash kasi ang kamay ko. (mukhang mas sensitive pa ata ang skin ni yaya kay baby).

5. Pihikan si Yaya. Kumain sila sa Pepper lunch.
AMO: Ubusin mo ang pagkain mo ha, huwag kang magsayang ng pagkain.
YAYA: Oo ate, uubusin ko ito kahit na matigas ang karne.
(tumbling si friend!)

[khriseeee]

^hay my yaya is also like that, whenever I buy something for my baby she will ask how much it cost. Kaya I make it a point to take all the things I buy into my room right away and remove all price tags. One time I didn't do that she opened up my packages na agad and gave the toy to my baby, of course I wanted to be the one to give my baby her new toy. Grrr!!

I also told my yaya no food in baby's room as we had a bout of ant infestation a fw months back, today I found a tupperware of biscuits in her room argh!!!
