I cried buckets of tears and almost fainted when my son showed me all the tiny bruises on his right and left thighs five days ago. There were more or less thirteen bruises…There’s also one on his back. Greggy just came home from school with his nanny when I asked him how his day was.
He answered, “Kinurot po ako ni yaya sa school…kasi makulit po ako.” . Then he pointed to the bruises on his legs.
I was torn apart. I asked the nanny if it’s true, but she denied it. KINAGAT LANG DAW NG LANGGAM SI GREG! 
Ginawa pa akong tanga ng bruhang yaya.
I tried to be as calm as I could and went inside the room to wake up my husband. I burst into tears and narrated what I had just found out. I asked him to give the nanny her two-week salary and kick her out right away. When my husband confronted her, she admitted what she did.
“Oo kinurot ko sya! Makulit kasi sya sa school. Tayo ng tayo!” She said arrogantly.
I was shocked by her statement and couldn’t say a word. There wasn’t any sense of remorse in her voice. She left the house without an apology. And I felt so stupid for letting her get away with it. I knew in my heart that I should’ve at least said or done something to appease the pain she had caused my son. But I guess I was too hurt to say a word.
What gives a nanny the right to hurt the child she’s supposed to care about?! Tell me. :stubborn:
It’s been almost a week since we discovered that my son’s new nanny had been hurting him while my husband and I were at work. She’d been with us for only two weeks for crying out loud! She was my kumare’s niece, who happens to live infront of our house. So how could she have done such a thing? I couldn’t believe it.
On her first day, I already had a hunch that she didn’t like kids very much. That she just accepted the job because of the salary we offered. From the very start, I knew she wasn’t the kind of nanny that any parents would entrust their child with. That’s why I told my husband that I’d change my work schedule from graveyard to morning shift so I could observe her. I knew I couldn’t leave my son with her alone at night. And true enough, I saw how apathetic she was with my son each day. She would only attend to his needs whenever I told her to. She only cared about the household chores and once she’s done, she would just go to her room and lock herself up. She wouldn’t help me at all and most of the time, she slept earlier than my son did. Oh what a nanny!
For now, I have no plans of getting another nanny. I am still hurt and traumatized of what had happened. I am so scared. 
Greggy is now staying at his grandma’s house. It’s hard, but that’s only way to keep him safe.

Kapal nman ng mukha nya. hayaan mo na, agree ako si Lord na bahala sa kanya.
I’m so paranoid when it comes to yayas, never kaming kumuha ng yaya for our daughter, we’d rather leave her to my parents. I can’t handle the torture of thinking she would be alone with somebody we don’t fully trust.
Hope you’ll get over it soon. Take care. God Bless ^^

nabasa ko nga ‘to sa twitter mo ate.
hay nako, the problem with nannies.
yung mom ko dati, nung nalaman nyang binabatukan and kinukurot yung little sister ko? walang calm calm sakanya, talagang pinalayas at pinagalitan. the nanny has NO FUCKING RIGHT to do that!!!
argh. naiinis ako pag ganyan. may nalalaman akong child abuse ng mga nanny sa mga alaga nila. Siguro, when I have my own child, I’d just leave her/him sa parents ko if needed. Ayokong maranasan yung naranasan ng little sister ko sa hands ng yaya. pft.

Hi ate hon! Same pla tayo ng prob. Pinaalis ko rin yaya ni Kimy dati kasi inaabuso din pla ang baby ko. Uminit tlga ulo ko nung nalaman kong sinasaktan si kimy. Kinukurot at kung ano pa. Kaya pla lagi umiiyak si kimy. Grabe tlga sila. Wala silang karapatan na ganyanin anak natin. Binabayran natin sila pra alagaan babay natin but abuso sila. Hays. Nung umalis yaya ni kimy, nag sabi pa sya na she’ll pray daw na sana si kimy magkasakit. Walng puso tlga. Hays.

Bait mo naman. Hindi mo siya pinagsabihan? KUng ako sayo nireport ko siya. LOL… Personally, I can’t imagine myself leaving my future kids home alone with a nanny. Mukhang hindi ko maipagkakatiwala mga magiging anak ko sa kung sino lang.

I can feel that you wrote this from your heart, Honney. I would feel the same if it happens to my son. (Yun nga lang, wala akong anak, *cry*). It truly is painful to see a child being mishandled.

Ouch! Sad to hear that! Grabee nman yun. Ang kapal ng face nya ha. Baka di ko sya matantya haha, hindi lang kurot ang aabutin nya sa akin as in papatulan ko sya!
Buti na lang wala kaming yaya. Dahil sa sobrang kulit ng anak ko baka gawin din yun sa kanya. Pero walang sinumang yaya ang may karapatang gawin yun sa alaga nya, the nerve ha!
