Yaya's Coming!

Our search for The Little One (TLO)'s nanny has been painfully happening for almost two years. We were convinced, through horror stories, that getting one from an agency is not an option so we patiently waited for referrals. Unfortunately, all our attempts failed. We got to second base (eeek) with three: we were able to talk to them for their sweet "yes, hire me." All these women ditched us after a day or two of commitment. And they didn't even tell us. They just stopped answering our calls.

After the third failed attempt (09/21/11), we decided to give the "agency route" a try. Some moms from online communities actually recommend agencies so it felt like it may work. The forum that I joined, however, did not allow posting contact details. I sent a private message to one of the members but I never received a reply.

Two years of frustration, working parents' blue balls and a deep longing to live with our daughter led to me to Google. And I found this:

CHERRYLAND MANPOWER SERVICES located in Barangay Palanan, Makati City is a local Agency which provides Domestic Workers like; Babysitter/Yaya, Maid, Sales Staff, Driver, Messenger, Office Helper/Boy, etc. to our valued Filipino and Foreign national Employer/s here in Metro Manila and nearby provinces- Cavite, Laguna and Bulacan.

I called Cherryland two days ago. And tomorrow, we're meeting our yaya.

Thankyousupermuch Big Boss up there!

And if you're reading this entry, please pray for things to work out.

May this be a great move for all parties involved. Amen.
