I have a new yaya now. She arrived last Friday straight from Leyte. She is young and honestly when I saw her, I didn’t think that she will be able to handle the responsibility of taking care of Bela. But since the agency hasn’t provided us yet with a replacement, I have no choice and decided to give the new nanny a try.
She is in fact hardworking but the problem is you have to show and explain to her several times how we want it done. She would always say yes but in the end, she would still not be able to do it. I think the problem is she can’t understand Tagalog that well, thus the communication gap. Up to now, she still doesn’t know how to give Bela a bath. She is too scared to do it. So the only thing that she does at home now is clean the house and wash the dishes and Bela's bottles. She doesn’t know how to cook either so I end up cooking too.
Howell said that she will learn and I should just be patient in teaching her. But the problem is, I don’t have the patience to do it. Bad ko ba?. So I would really end up doing everything since I prefer to be happy with the result rather than be stressed out because she was not able to follow my instructions.
I received a text message from my former yaya yesterday and a call from the agency expressing her intention to go back to work for us again. I don’t want to take her back too as I am also not that happy with how she works. I guess I have to give our new nanny more time to adjust and to learn because right now, that is the best option we have so far.
