After one month of trying to contact maids who were on vacation in the province and asking everyone for referrals for maids or yayas we have finally succumbed to hiring from an agency. The agency we went to is one that a friend’s family uses regularly so we felt a bit ok with it.
The funny thing is the maid and yaya started last Sunday but yesterday wanted to leave us na. The yaya couldn’t handle my 8 month old while the maid felt that there was too much laundry. This is laundry for me, my hubby and our baby ha. Well, what can I do? At least nagpaalam sila ng maayos. Plus, they’re from an agency so the agency replaced them that same day. So now I have a yaya and maid who started yesterday.
Baby J is getting used to his new yaya. I am more comfortable with her. She’s much older than the first one the agency sent and more experienced. However Baby J is in that stranger anxiety stage. So whenever he doesn’t see me, he cries like he is panicking. So I have to show him that yes I am around.
New maid is also seemingly better. She’s supposed to be a good cook so we’ll see tonight if her adobo is up to scratch.
Now I have to train them to our routine and I really hope they stick around longer than the previous ones.
