Hiring a nanny is indispensable if you are
a working mom unless you are one of those lucky few who have
parents/relatives willing to take care of your kid/s. Being one
of the former, I hired a nanny. It took
months before I found one. Just like all
moms, I’m choosy. Mas choosy pa ako
ngayon kesa nung naghahanap ako ng boyfriend. lol. Just imagine leaving your kid/s
to a total stranger. After the long quest
for a nanny, I welcomed Ate Diyosa into our home and into our lives. Although I am older than her, I call her Ate
Diyosa. I want Baby C to call her Ate
Diyosa, not Yaya Diyosa. Para kasing
pangmayaman na masyado kung yaya ang
tawag. Lol. And I want her to feel that she’s part of the
family.
Ate Diyosa is only 18.
Unang salta niya sa Manila.
Let’s just say that she’s not the “heaven sent” type of
nanny. She doesn’t cook. She wakes up
late. She doesn’t clean well. Yes. At times, she’s a pain in the a#$! But,
I promised myself that I won’t let nanny’s imperfection stress me out…that I
will learn to manage my expectation. Despite
her flaws, I like her. Madiskarte at madisposisyon na
bata. At hindi magpapaloko at magpapaapi
(though she looks naïve). It’s too early
to say this but I think she’s
honest and trustworthy too. And
she has the most important quality of a nanny…she’s passionate about her main
job, that is babysitting. She’s patient, dependable and cheerful. She can make my baby laugh.
Actually, she can make us laugh too.
Me: Babe, grabe ang gagaling mag English
nung mga bata na nakasabay ko sa elevator.
Dapat ganun din si Baby C.
Dan:
Eh di dapat kausapin natin ng English si Baby. Nosebleed tayo diyan. Ate
Diyosa, kausapin mo si Baby na English ha. Marunong ka ba?
Diyosa:
Oo naman, Yes!
The next day, we went to the mall. Iniwan
ko sandali si Ate Diyosa sa Starbucks. Pagbalik ko…
Diyosa: Ate, kinausap po ako nung katabi
kong babae kanina. Di ko nga pinansin.
Me: Bakit naman di mo pinansin?
Diyosa: English eh.
Me: Akala ko ba Oo naman, yes, marunong ka
mag English?
Diyosa: Marunong nga po. Niyayabangan lang
po ata ako nung babae eh. Pilipino naman, di nalang magtagalog. Kaya yun, di ko nga pinansin. Duh!
Oo nga naman, marunong nga naman siya mag English…at
magpalusot! DUH! lol
bwahahhaahahahahahhaha!!!
