Once is enough, twice is too much, thrice is

Here I go again.. Sorry for reading so much rants for the past few days. I just need to vent out all my frustrations with the yaya we got. As you all know, the yaya we got is staying out of the house. She reports to us at 6 in the morning at goes home usually around 7 or 8 in the evening.

Okay, too much introduction. This is the real story. She haven’t stayed with us for a month now and she incurred 3 absences already.

First. It was a Saturday and she didn’t show up to work. We still didn’t know her contact number so we were left to ask for my cousins rescue as I need to work on that day. Come Monday, she didn’t even informed us why she was absent not until we asked her. Her reason “may sakit po kasi si ate.”

Second. Another Satruday. She didn’t show up again so we need to ask my cousin again to stay with us as I need to go to work. Come Monday, we asked here why didn’t she show up and her reason “wala po kasi si ate.” We even told her to even just advise us if she can’t report to us and her answer is a simple “opo.”

My husband then decided to give her my oldest mobile phone so we could contact her if needed.

Third. Yesterday. This time around, I really got mad. She didn’t show up again. We were trying to call her on the mobile phone we gave her but it was turned off. I have no choice but to take a leave from work as my cousin needs to go to school. Come night time, we tried to call her again. The phone is turned on but no one is answering it. We tried to call it for ten times.

Her reason why she didn’t report to work? “May sakit po kasi ako.” I let the husband talk to her as I might say something bad and she might hurt the kids when we are not around. The husband asked her why the phone was turned off yesterday morning and why she wasn’t answering the phone last night. The answer is silence. I even told my hubby that she might got binat if she answers the phone.

Goodness! Is she the boss of the household? Do we need to adjust on her schedule and not the other way around? We hired her so we could work. Nauubos na ang leave ko dahil sa kanya!

I just have one last straw for her. Once she makes another mistake or she didn’t show up one more time, I have no choice but to fire her. Iawas ko din kaya lahat ng absences nya sa sweldo nya? Hayst.
