my two yayas left. for some valid reasons.

i have extracted all those in our family trees and friends who may refer someone they know but ended up still seeking. i am running out of options... my question now, are yayas from agency/ies okay?

i have talked to several agencies already, interviewed some yaya applicants. their rates are somehow higher than those direct from the provinces (least of my concern though). they have clearances, yes. from barangay to police upto nbi clearances. they also were background-checked (not sure how reliable this process is). i have searched from poea the agencies i have talked to, okay naman.

but the only thing i am concerned of, are they well trained?

i am to hire one tonight. hope she turns out okay. agencies naman are willing to replace them thrice in the span of 6 months. kaya lang, risking our household, most of all, my daughter's safety and welfare... hmm.. thinking parin ako. maybe i just have to choose well and wisely. hmm.. we'll never know until we live with them right? parang asawa lang. hehe

are there mommies here who hired yayas from agencies? how are they?

Hi keih, meron na rin akong yaya na nanggaling sa agency.. sa una ok.. pero time goes by nakikita mo na din ang ugali.. tama ka parang asawa lang.. hehe maganda lang sa agency is that may mga clearances sila so as far as criminal records is concerned makikita mo dun at puwede ka maghabol if something bad happened saka puwede replacements. Yung nakuha namin sa agency tinapos lang yung 6 mos niya.. nagbakasyon kuno and sinabi na babalik pero di na bumalik. I had problems with that yaya pagdating sa day off.. gusto kasi niya weekly off at overnight. Sa pagaalaga sa anak ko, ok naman pero i still give her instructions saka lagi ko chine-check pag nasa work ako..It will depend on how you are going to talk about it, i mean sa lahat.. lalo sa pag-aalaga sa anak mo..un ang pinaka important. Siguro, expectations setting lang kasi kahit sa agency mo kunin ang yaya.. kung may sungay yan eh lalabas at lalabas yan.. Hindi na din ako ulit kumuha sa agency.. ganun din eh saka pahirapan ng paghanap sa replacement not unless meron nakabante dun sa agency..worst comes to worst hahanapan ka pa ng replacement.

thank you sis.  i very much agree with the 'setting of expectations' same with the watchful eyes lang parati and proper guidance.

I am getting our all around maid sa agency since I gt married. Honestly, most of them are super eager to give u one kasi sure profit na sa business nila. Tapos after sometime irreplace lang tapos pag wala na sila mabigay wala na rin yung contact number nila. I cme across one agency na bago pa lang which is referred by my friend, nung una hesitant ako kasi bago pa nga lang daw but since recommended ng friend ko tnry ko na rin. I am very happy naman with the way they handled my query and need. My verdict: Ang maganda hindi masyado expensive yung agency fee nila and hindi niya kinikuhanan ng 20% yung salary ng maids but they conduct training from "i love you, yaya" ni maricel laxa-pangilinan. And mataas ang respeto ng mga applicants na maids and yaya dun sa owner who personally handles her business. Naging impression ko hindi mukhang pera kasi tinanong agad ako kung ano yung criteria/standard ko.  Ang naging problem ko lang hindi sila nagbibigay agad na pag tumawag ka they can give u asap, nung una sympre naiinis ako pero when Ive talked to the owner ang galing ng pagkaexplain niya kasi sabi niya kailangan daw imatch yung profiles ng mga applicants nila sa kung anong gusto ko. And if I need one na maayos I need to wait kahit in a day or 2. I waited for a day lang tapos meron na sila nabigay. Until now ok naman. 9 months na yung maid sakin and ok na ok talaga kasi yung training na binigay daw sa kanila is kung pano maging passionate sa work. Nirenew ko yung contract ko kasi 6 months lang pero hindi ako nagpareplace.

I am just happy na meron pa ring agency na maayos kasi super super hirap talaga humanap ng maayos kausap ngayon. Shinare ko lang kasi ang galing lang. God bless us all.

Mga Mommy's there is no perfect na maid agency, I have been getting maids sa agency puro palpak at 1st ok ok lahat tapos pag dating sa replacements may fee na ayaw padin magbigay....hirap kuha ng maid ...... I tried Head hunters din pero kakatakot kc they lie were they came from after a few weeks chaka mo malaman yung totoo Hay! actually swerte swerte lang talaga ... Ako i need yaya naman ngayon... Hope you guys can recommend thanks!

[cleopatra3173]

ang problema kasi sa ibang agency kung saan saan nila kinukuha, di man lang sila nagbabackground check muna,  wala man lang NBI o medical , baka ang maibigay sa atin ay maysakit pa. pati replacement may bayad.

[cleopatra3173]

sis ganun din ako tumatagal ang mga maids ko galing agency may 2 years, may 1 yr, siguro swertihan lang talaga. dito naman sa isang agency ang kagandahan naman nito no replacement fee, d rin nila ibibigay sa yo na hindi kumpleto dokumento, protektado amo at maids, di pwede lalabag sa kontrata, notaryado pa. libre pa vitamins ng mga maids at libre rin check up sa doctor, dental, opera, derma, so ibig sabihin puro libre sila, hindi sila mukhang pera na katulad ng ibang agency.

ELIGIBLE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY SERVICES

Sobrang bad experience talaga inabot ko sa kanila twice nabulunan ang  1 yr & 4 month old daughter ko plus naipit pa sa pintuan ng cabinet, 5 weeks palang since kumuha ako ng yaya sa kanila.


yung 1st yaya na binigay nila 1 day palang lumayas na  kase malungkot daw sa condo tumira. 2nd naman yun nga yung naka ipit at choke sa daughter ko at wala pa siya NBI CLEARANCE AND BARANGAY CLEARANCE what an agency diba? ang mahal pa nila sumingil i paid 12,700 for a yaya whose not even qualified.


Now I'm requesting for a replacement sinisingil nanaman ako ng another 7,500 and gusto pa na mag increase ako ng sweldo sa yaya OMG! yung manager dun (who didn't even bother to give her last name or business card) napaka unprofessional kausap and paiba iba ng statement ng mag sabog ng kapangitan ng ugali sa mundo gising na gising ata siya at nakuha niya lahat.

first time ko kumuha sa agency  and definitely last na as for the yaya binalik ko na lang sa kanila without asking for a refund or replacement, karma nalang sa negosyo nila yan.

I'm sharing this to all of you for the safety of your kids I cannot explain kung gano ako ka natakot nung nabulunan ang daughter ko akala ko talaga mawawala na siya.

[riddermark]

im still doubtful kung from agency kasi nga walang nakakakilala but i guess yun na ang last resort kung talagang wala nang makuha from province.

i'd also like to know the rates. paranoid ako just thinking about the scenario if i will get one. mahirap ipagkatiwala babies natin. so perhaps it's gonna be this - be with your kids (leave work) or hire a yaya that you dont know. 

[ilovemyatasha]

sis, baka may kilala din kayo.. need ko rin asap sana..

magkno ba minimum nila ngaun?? haiz... ang hirap talaga.!

[lheira]

maaarte na yaya and maid ngayon.. andami ko na napag tanungan.. pati bicol.. nag rerequest sila ng 3500.. too much!!!! kaya siguro 3k is enough.. 

[lheira]

oo sis kaya alagaan mo nalang yaya mo.. kasi ngyon, kahit sa agencies ganun na starting.. kahapon meron nga nasa bahay namin. gus2 niya 3500 sahod, ayaw ng may bata, tapos 15 and 30 day off.. utsusera pinauwi ko nga kakainis.. napatingin nga yaya baby o kasi sya 2500 starting niya..gnyan na talaga ngayon,. lahat tumataas..

[my_journey4life]

sa agencies talagang mahal ata, depende naman siguro sa work pag all around yaya siguro baka pwede 3k o 3,5k starting  at yung marami talaga ginagawa.. buti na lang ako nakakuha na yaya referral din from a friend kaso wala na siya ma refer now. yung yaya ko 2,5K lang pero every sunday off niya talaga umuuwi siya sa kanila and binibigyan siya namin 150 as pamasahe so parang 3K din siya a month.. 15&30 sahod niya.bantay ng baby ko laba damit namin at linis lang ng room work niya...sana maging ok lang tuloy tuloy,hirap kasi maghanap if ever di maganda eh..so far ok naman

[tripledfunappies]

patay i just got my 2 maids from them just last week naku paano na nyan yung 1 ok naman sana kaso yung 1 nagpapaalam na kesyo ganito ganoon paano na nyan ang gagawin ko sana naman hindi sila ganoon what I mean is that yung katulong lang talaga ang may kasalanan...

[Chubbymommyme]

Hi mommies i wanna go back to work sana but i cant kasi wala ding yaya. Swerte yung mga inaalagaan ng moms nila yung baby nila ako kasi di mommy type ang mommy ko.
So what agency ba pwede or kahit papaano ok?
