I asked my yaya to leave today. She was referred to me by my friend since she is the sister of my friend’s nanny. I shouldered for her transportation expenses since she is coming from Mindanao and I have to give her a salary advance so she has some money to leave for her mother.
On her first day, when we arrived home, my mom was the one taking care of my daughter. When I asked my mom where our new nanny is, my mom told me that she went to her room around 6 PM and never went down again to take care of Bela. It was already 7:30 PM when we arrived home so I took the liberty of waking her up and I was so pissed when I saw her in deep slumber. I asked her why she is sleeping when Bela is wide awake. Her answer was she thought that it is ok since my mom is already taking care of Bela.
Then I noticed that she is not even doing any household chores because as soon as we leave in the morning for work, she will lie down in our bed and sleep again until Bela is awake (and Bela sleeps until 9 – 10 AM).
There are times that she will not go with my mom when Bela has a class just because she just doesn’t want to and she won’t even give any explanation to my mom or to us.
She never talks and when you talk to her she will answer us in a very disrespectful manner. I really wanted to let her go but I have to get back the money that I gave her for her transportation and her salary advance so I told Howell that I can stand her for at least a month just to get my money back.
After a month of being with us, I learned from her sister that she is suspecting that our nanny might be pregnant. This morning, she knows that we will be attending a party and I told her that she is coming with us but when it is time for us to leave; she said that she is not coming as she will take her day off. So right then and there, I told her to pack her things and leave and never to come back.
One thing that I learn from my friend, Ate Annie, is that I should never get attached with my nanny nor should be emotional since nannies really do come and go. And if the nanny is not helping us but instead is becoming the source of our stress, then there is no point in holding on to that nanny and that we should just let that nanny go. She said that there are a lot of people in the province who needs jobs and as long as I can afford to pay for the salary of a nanny, then there is no point to stress over it because I can easily get a nanny anytime I want.
Right now, we have our on-call nanny (lol) who will help us with Bela. She used to be our stay out nanny and I can easily call her every time we need an instant nanny so she will help us with Bela for now. Actually I am already thinking to just get her again to avoid the stress that yaya hunting is giving us. But we’ll see.
