I have been hunting... since November..
And so far - I've found none..
It's actually a risk - because we won't know for sure how she will be when my baby comes. But as of the moment, I am getting stressed that I can't find one.
I have been calling agencies - I have been interviewing left and right, but so far - those that I have interviewed are, well - not so good! There was one that sounded really good on paper, and when I asked for her previous employers - she gave me names, well known names actually. I was taken aback honestly because I had connections to these names that she gave me! One was the boss of a friend and the other was the sister in law of a friend. I told the yaya to make sure that she gives me the correct information because I can confirm with her previous employers - and she was confident! She had the following informations:
Age: 40
Employer #1 - Boss of the friend
Stayed with her for 2 years
Left because when she came back from her vacation, there was already a replacement.
Employer #2 - Sister in law of a friend
Stayed with her for 5 years
Left because the child was too much for her to handle already
Employer #3 - Wife of the Nueva Ecija governor
Stayed with her for 2 years
Left because when she came back from her vacation, there was already a replacement.
That same night, I called my friend who's boss was Yaya's former employer. At 10am the next morning, I got a call from my friend. According to her boss - Yaya is not very nice, she works okay but has a habit of bad mouthing her former employers and Yaya lied when she said that she stayed 2 years with her - apparently, Yaya left after one year. Yaya asked for a vacation and NEVER came back - the boss learned that Yaya went to work for Employer #2 already. When my friend asked for Yaya's age - I said 40 - she laughed! Because apparently, two years ago - Yaya was already 40!
After a few weeks, my friend whose sister in law was Employer #2 sent me a text message saying that Yaya is not so okay, and that Yaya is very materialistic.
Fail diba??
As for the others, well - they seemed okay BUT I haven't met them personally so, I can't say if they're okay or not. Agencies have this habit of forcing me to decide ASAP. Which I am not keen on doing so.. I believe that if its meant to be - its meant to be.
I hope you'll soon find a yaya Didi. Mahirap talaga maghanap. Ako nakahanap 2 weeks after ko pa manganak. Kaya it's good that you're starting your yaya hunting now.
