Last Sunday, my hubby and I hired a yaya for Lance.. She was supposed to start working yesterday but we required her to have an x-ray and stool exam first as suggested by my BIL (a medtech). Yesterday morning, my MIL accompanied the yaya (who seems to be upset) at the nearby hospital for the x-ray exam. Since the result will be released in the afternoon, my MIL told the yaya to come back this morning and probably she can start working as it seems the x-ray result is just find as mentioned by the radiologist then her stool exam could be done later..
While eating breakfast this morning, she arrived with a sad looking face. Then she uttered "Ate, hindi pa ko nkapagpatest ng dumi ko baka may skit pala ako na diko alam baka maapektuhan pa ang baby mo.." I sensed that she is conveying something to me. Then I bluntly asked her if she is still interested to work for us and she replied "hindi na ako interesado, Ate.." At one point during our conversation, the yaya suprisingly said "..kc Ate sinabi ku naman sa iyo na wala akong skit pro di kayo naniwala wala pala kayong tiwala sa akin.."... Huh???!!! Then I told her "hindi nman sa wala akong tiwala.. sinabi ku naman sa iyo na mukhang wala ka nman sakit naniniguru lang ako.." Before the yaya left, I thanked her for coming..
Are we rude to require her those medical exams? We just want to make sure that the yaya has no illness as she will be handling my baby very often.. I've heard of many stories on yayas with TB and those babies they nursed acquired "primary complex". Our concern is for the welfare of my baby.. Is that too much to ask???

Yaya got scared..

Hi sis! It think the yaya thought that you were too demanding or sort of sobrang maselan kaya ganun ang reaksyon. And maybe that it was her first time to encounter employers like you... but for me ha.. walang masama sa ginawa, especially yung welfare ni Lance ang at sake.. Tsk tsk its just so sad na maraming hindi aware sa ganun processo especially those yaya na hindi dumadaan sa agency ...
If ever,... you get somebody from some agency atleast dun req't ang medical certificate.
I don't see anything wrong. baka namis-interpret lang ni yaya to be. siguro before hand dapat mabrief sila sa mga rules and everything, siempre it's the welfare of our kids at stake. :)
I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd do it too. I don't want my kid to get sick and yayas shouldn't take offense because we all have to go through a medical check-up as required by our employers and they're no different than us :-)
