Should i ditch a deaf yaya?

[purpleiacious]

Hi mga sis, i have this medyo old yaya.. One month ko pa lang sya naha-hire.. Ni refer siya sa akin nung manicurista na kapitbahay namin. Hindi naman nya sinabi sa akin na deaf pala.  Sa akin wala naman problema kung impaired ang hearing nya as long na she can be a good yaya to my 22 months son.. The problem started when my lola observe her as she was bathing my son. Hindi nakahanda ang mga gamit, wala yung towel so nilalamig na yung anak ko at saka pa lang siya kukuha ng towel,and ang nakakatakot pa dun medyo malayo ang kwarto sa bathroom at katabi ng bathroom yung hagdan pababa..so kung lagi nya ginagawa yun i am assuming na he's leaving my son mag isa sa bathroom,ang dami pwede mangyari malunod o lumabas ang anak ko sa bathroom at mahulog sa hagdan. So sinabihan ko na sya na wag uulitin yun. May isang beses naman daw na hindi na naman nya na prepare yung towel at nung tinanong ng lola ko, nataranta at yung hinubad na damit ng anak ko ang pinamunas sa mukha ng anak ko.. Hay naku talaga..Tapos may instances din na umiiyak na yung anak ko hindi nya pa nadidinig,medyo hindi din sya malinis sa mga gamit ni baby,and lahat kami are having hard time to communicate.  Merong mga times na kinakausap ko sya bigla aalis,iniisip ko na lang na baka hindi ako narinig.Mga sis naaawa ako sa kanya baka kasi isipin nya na kaya ko sya tatanggalin dahil bingi sya pero its not it.. Its her non ability to take care of my son the way i want.. Paano ko kaya sasabihin sa kanya in a polite manner na ayaw ko na sa service nya? And isa pang problema hanap yaya again..hays..Help mga sis!

Bingi man or not, hindi puede yang ganyang inefficient na yaya. 

Ok to get someone untrained -- but you must train that one to be efficient.
I assume na train or nasabihan sya about the bath requirements of your son -- pero she keeps on forgetting her "mise  en place" --  yung mga "ingredients" required to give a young child a safe bath/shower.   Leaving a young child alone, even for a few minutes, in the  bath/shower is unsafe/dangerous. 

Why will you feel hesitant or shy about firing her? As long as you pay her wages correctly, quits. 
Como bingi?  Discrimination does not apply to a mismatch to a job.  A yaya must have all senses working --  a child can easily get harmed, kaya nga nangangailangan tayo ng yaya.

Or you are hesitant to fire her because mahirap maghanap ng replacement?
In which case --  make sure there is someone (you or your Lola) always supervising her.
But don't keep her long, maghanap ka na ng replacement.  A bingi yaya can have a bad effect on your son's communication skills development.  A toddler may pick up the bingi's mannerisms/way of communicating & not be as orally advanced as other kids. 
Safety hazard din yang bingi -- baka may nangyayari na eh baka  clueless pa sya, tapos she is responsible for a toddler's safety.

yes, ditch her, not because she is deaf but bec she is inefficient. Bat mu titiisin?

@Sis aquacharly - yun nga din talaga ang worried ko that there might be instances na may nangyayari na and clueless si yaya,im a working mom and ang naiiwan lang kay baby is Lola and si Yaya, i am now looking fo replacement.Hindi ko na hahayaang may mangyari pa before i act. I hope i can find someone to look after my son soon. Thanks for the reply,really appreciate it


@ Sis Jinjin - Thanks sa reply,oo nga naman binabayaran ko naman sahod hindi naman libre so bakit ako magtitiis?good point..thanks sis

For taking a baths, sa umaga pa Lang while the kids are still sleeping I require the yayas to prepare all the things. Like hang the towels in the bathroom. Put the clothes and diapers on the bed. They do the same thing in the afternoon (while the kids are napping) in preparation for the kids' evening baths. Kasi once the kid is awake, sa kakulitan ng bata, minsan nakakalimutan talaga (I'm basing this on my experience of not having a yaya and had to attend to my kids).

But either way, I  think you should ditch the yaya. You're putting your kid in danger. I had to  let go of a good yaya before when I learned that she sometimes have fainting episodes. Eh minsan siya Lang and my kid alone in the house. Nakakatakot yung prospect na mag-faint si yaya and silang dalawa lang

If i were you i would definitely ditch her because she is not efficient. Tell her you're firing her not because she is deaf  you just dont like the way she cares for your son. You wouldnt put your childs life at risk leaving your son alone in the bathroom is a telltale sign of her inefficiency. Anything could happen in that split second and it not the first time she commited the same mistake.

obviously sis mas importante ng higit higit higit ang welfare ni baby sa tender feelings ng inefficent yaya. your child is still an infant and one of the important forms of communication ng baby is crying. i dont think your baby can wave to the yaya or come over to her and pat her or something else to call her attention. and for me, more importantly, is the lack of cleanliness. major no no yan. kailangan malinis ang yaya ng babies.

purpleiacious I don't know if the issue is settled already since this post was April pa. Agree ako sa sinabi ng iba di hamak na importante yung situation ng baby mo rather than sa magiging feelings ng Yaya o pagiging maramdamin niya. So what kung masaktan damdamin niya? Eh napaka negligent niya eh! The way you posted hindi yung pagiging bingi ang major issue rito kundi ang negligence niya. Wala yan sa pagiging bingi niya kundi yung pagiging iresponsable niya sa actions niya. Nakakatakot yan sis. Problema niya na yun kung ma-ooffend siya sa sasabihin mong maayos about her actions basta you already did your part.

Meron naman kami naging helper nung bagong panganak ako, duling siya tapos naglalagas yung mga buhok kaya halos semi kalbo na. nahuli kong nakapikit yung isang mata niya nag pprito siya kaya naisip ko paano naman uutusan yung ganon. Makaka trabaho ba ng maayos yun o baka mahirapan lang. Isa pa, yung buhok niya naglalagas. Ewan ko kung anong meron don pero parang ang pangit lang na ganon kasi baka mahulog sa pagkain yung mga buhok kaya pinabalik ko na sa mommy kasi tauhan yon sa botika namin pinahiram lang.
