There are some things I don't like about summer. Apart from the dreadful heat and my children getting sick because of it, summer is the time when yayas take a vacation. In our household, if the helper stays for a year, I give the incentive of paying for her round-trip ticket back to the province for a two-week paid vacation. When she comes back, she will also be entitled to an annual salary increase.
This time of the year is one of the things I dread most, because I am always left wondering if the yaya will come back and work for us again. I always fear that she might find a better opportunity and leave us in a lurch. Now that they've gotten used to our routine, I wouldn't want to start all over again.
Gone were the days when household help stay for years. But I still hope and pray that all will be well.
