Ever since we got Mateo a yaya, I realized how extremely difficult it is to find a good one. His first yaya was really good with him. She knows how to play with him and even teaches him a lot of things. She’s not too motherly though, more like a playmate to Mateo. Unfortunately, she’s not very good around the house. I’ve had more than a few stressful moments simply because she ‘forgets’ to do things and when she remembers them, she doesn’t do them according to my instructions.

The next yaya was better around the house. She cleans everything even better than I do. She cleans things that I don’t even tell her to clean. However, she’d often just carry Mateo and wouldn’t say anything to him. Since Mateo is more important than the house, she had to go.

We had two more yayas after that but lasted only for several days. Both of them had to leave due to some family problems. The yaya that Mateo has now has been with us for a month already and she’s such a blessing (as far as I know and have observed). She’s good around the house and good with Mateo too! She even reminds me about things that I tend to forget like buying bathroom lighting. I’m very thankful that we got a good, well-rounded one this time. I just hope and pray that she’s also happy with us and that she stays with us for a long time.
