All About Yayas (Nannies) Thread 2

[hunny_ally]

^may pagka-chimosa si yaya ha. Ganyan din yaya ko. Binalita naman sa Lola ko that I'm pregnant. Eh at that time I only had a PT so I don't want to announce it yet til I had an ultrasound. Nakita niya siguro yung PT sa bathroom namin. Kinuwento sa Lola ko then my Lola told my mom and the rest of the family. Nagulat na Lang ako kasi everyone was sending me congratulatory messages. But like you minor infraction Lang siya that I can live with.

Most of the time, I feel that malas ako sa mga yaya.  Lahat na lang yata ng kalokohan, na-experience ko na.  Good thing lang that when my children were babies, matitino ang mga yaya nila.  It was only when they became preschoolers that I got exposed to yayas from hell.

One upside from the fast turnover (in recent years) of yayas in my household is the fact that my children have become self-reliant.  At 5 years old, they can dress on their own, rinse themselves in the shower (applying soap and shampoo is quite tricky pa), get their own snacks and drinks from the kitchen pantry or refrigerator (and needless to say, feed themselves) most of the time and pack away their things (although not all the time). In contrast, I have godchildren whose yayas have been with them forever and at 8/9 years old, cannot even tie their own shoes or bathe themselves.

I was really annoyed with our son's yaya today. My husband and I wanted to surprise our son at school coz my parents usually take him there and pick him up when classes end. To my surprise, yaya wasn't at the designated area for yayas. I was so shocked that she would just leave when she's supposed to wait in school and fetch my son from the classroom. He's turning 3 pa this september, so he needs to know that somebody is waiting for him outside. And when she returned from where ever she was, she was late pa. I don't know what to say to our yaya because I really feel like I need to let her go.

San daw siya galing sis? Tinanong mo ba? Alam ba niya na dapat nandun lang siya sa waiting area? Lalo na 2 years old pa lang pala ang baby mo.

my yaya now is may pamangkin (pamangkin sa malayong kamag-anak).. major concern ko sa kanya ay ang pagiging slow.. as in mabagal talaga kumilos.. ako pa naman ang taong mabilis at mahilig mag multi-tasking.. 3 months pa lang sya sa amin at bata pa (19 yo) so pinag-papasenyahan ko lang.. besides, i don't want to let her go naman kasi naawa ako.. we give her P5000 as monthly salary..

[geekchiq]

I love my yaya. Maswerte ako kasi di aanga-anga at mabilis kumilos. Nagseselos pa nga ako minsan when she can make my baby laugh out loud. hehe. I have no problems so far, hindi malikot ang kamay, hindi mareklamo. Yun nga lang medyo mataba si yaya kaya kapag pinawisan, maasim ang amoy. Tsaka sa sobrang may kusa na, minsan napapadami ang luto ng pagkain. hehe.

Naaawa ako sa yaya ko everytime sa mga in-laws kami nagstastay. Many times I've seen her cried kasi tanggap niya na na all-around siya pero huwag naman yung parang ang baba baba ng tingin sa kanya. Kung utusan nila, akala mo sila nagbabayad kay yaya. Pinapaakyat baba sa condo na 5th floor sila nakatira at walang elevator. Kung pagsabihan nila, lagi na lang pagalit. Hindi ko naman pwedeng pagsabihan ang in-laws ko dahil nakikitira lang naman kami. Kaya si yaya happy kapag nasa side namin kami, happy yaya siya dun. Sabi niya nga ayaw nya na nga sumama pag bibisita kami sa in-laws.

[sistah!]

i love my yaya, she's really nice to my baby. malinis din sa gamit at matyaga talaga. problema ko lang, marami yatang drama sa buhay. twice na yan nagpaalam na ayaw na daw magtrabaho. bumalik din naman. ngayon nagpaalam na naman. titigil na daw magtrabaho at uuwi na lang sa probinsya. kinakausap ko pa at baka magbago naman ang isip pero nakakaloka, as in.

[Supermom Juls]

sis pareho tayo. ganyan din kamoody ang yaya ng anak ko. Bigla na lang magshishift ang mood at magpaparamdam na gusto umuwi sa province nila. Pero di naman pwede sya umalis lang kung kailan nya gusto. ang hirap maghanap ng maayos na yaya.  Pag ganun, binibigyan ko ng libreng load

[MrsKolca]

^ayus yun ah.. baka kunwari lang sya para may libreng load 

[hunny_ally]

Lutang mode na naman my daughter's yaya. I d discovered this am that she left my daughter's packed lunch yesterday. Alanganin schedule ng daughter ko so pinapakainin ng lunch sa school before her class starts or after. Since naiwan nga, all my daughter had in between breakfast and dinner were snacks! Ang di ko maintidihan pa she has emergency money with her. Di ko alam bakit di na Lang binilhan ng lunch sa school. Eto pa ang nakakainis... The yaya was able to bring her own packed lunch pero naiwan yung sa alaga niya

[ElizE]

Ever since wala talaga akong makuhang yaya kasi if ayaw niyo na sa yaya niyo... Please give them to me!:) if kaya pa naman turuan, pagpasensiyahan gawin niyo kasi ang hirap talagang maghanap ng mapagkakatiwalaan. If may konting pagkakamali, turuan muna.

So please, if may marerecomend kayo, it would be really helpful. TIa!

[marose17]

^^ Ganyan din our helpers (my sons do not have a yaya exclusively devoted to their needs because they're self-sufficient na).  Nakalimutan ilagay sa car ang backpacks ng kids ko yesterday.  My kids now bring 3 bags to school - small backpack which contains a set of clothes and toiletries, lunch bag which contains their packed lunch and tumbler and a small "briefcase" containing workbooks for their big school preparation program (a class separate and distinct from their regular classes). 

I'm just glad I do not have to train a yaya anymore.  My kids are pretty much self-reliant na and I have no intention of having another child.  Ang hirap din kasing mag-train ng yaya.

@sistah, hindi uubra sa akin ang moody yaya.   I just have no patience haha.  Mabuti at kaya mong sakyan ang moods ng yaya mo.

^S's yaya is our all around too. Not entirely devoted to her since malaki na naman si S. generally I'm happy with her performance. Usually beyond what I expect pa. But nakakainis Lang with the whole lunch thing cause imagine all the kid had were cookies and biscuits the whole day! What's ironic yesterday I tried to take off some of the load from her like supervising S while dressing up and fixing her lunchbox. All she had to do was to dress up and pack the lunch I pre-cooked already. Siguro I somehow messed up her routine too kaya may nakalimutan. Looks like I have to make a checklist para walang makalimutan

[marose17]

^ Baka nga lutang mode lang si HH yesterday.   Kawawa naman si S!  Nagutom ba?

[hunny_ally]

^she had a pack of cookies and a fruit cup. Kaya pala nag merienda ng rice and hotdog when she came home at past 5.

[happyfemme]

Is there such thing na "nauumay" sa trabaho ang yaya?

Feeling ko kasi parang ganyan ang yaya ko for the past weeks eh.

Parang lutang, tapos pag nadapa si baby eh tulala nalang hindi agad binubuhat si baby.

10am namin nilalabas from our room si baby, so 10am palang ang start ng hands on niya kay baby.

Pero napansin ko, shes not doing any chores like cleaning baby's playroom, bathroom etc. habang si baby eh natutulog pa sa kuwarto namin.

She's looking after our baby pero pansin ko hindi nagsasalita or kausapin manlang ang baby ko.

I dont find her work "loaded" kasi kapag natutulog si baby sa tanghali eh natutulog din naman siya. Tapos pag 8pm kami na ng hubby ko ang nagpapatulog kay baby. Tapos may day-off naman siya.

She's not like that before, kasi halos 2 years na siya sa akin. Pero this time LUTANG MODE talaga.

Of course hindi naman natatapos ang problema nila sa pagpapadala ng pera sa probinsya, lagi naman niya sinasabi yun before na lagi nalang siya nagpapadala ng pera sa probinsya pero hindi siya ganito ka tulala.

Yung sahod niya is average naman, may philhealth din siya.

Paano ba hinahandle ang mga taong nauumay sa trabaho?

[marose17]

^ Perhaps you can ask if she really likes taking care of a baby.  What were her duties before?  Baka kasi mas interested siya sa household chores rather than sa pag-aalaga ng bata.

[ElizE]

^^ baka naman may problema or malalim na iniisip?? Try mo kausapin sis.
