Thank you for sharing this, Ia!
This is another great course especially aimed for Yayas who’s really valuable in the household. This helps them better and learn new skills.
I’m sure my sister-in-law’s yaya could benefit from a workshop such as this. Although her yaya is taking care of her 9-month old baby, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of valuable things that she could learn from this enriching event.
Yayas will be glad to attend this event as this only happens once in a blue moon for them. Household owners should endorse their helpers to these educational trainings to boost their morale.
wow.. this is cool. in this way, yayas or caregivers are given an importance here!
This is a great workshop for yayas. They will learn a lot on how to take care of the kids. As the kids’ second parents I agree that developmental stages should be taught to yayas properly understand the behavior their alagas.
this is great for those who wanted an additional experience as a caregiver or even to those passionate to look after some other people! great project! will be sharing this! xx
Hi Teacher ia: Little by little our yayas are now supported with GOs and NGOs programs. Laws are also passed for their protection. That workshop is really beneficial to them. Thanks for the advocacy.
I do hope moms and guardians with house help give this article a look-see and check out how much of a good investment this could be, not just for the house help but for the family as a whole.
A must read for working moms entrusting their kids to yayas. This course will definitely gives additional work experience for caregivers. This may also uplift their social status.
Nice, this is a good way of educating caregivers and yaya. They will also feel that their work is important.
This is a must for parents with guardians who usually look for the welfare of their kids whenever both parents are away from work. This would also make them (guardians) feel that their role is very important as well.
Great one share teacher and idol IA. I just wished many will participate and bring their YAYA at this workshop. Kudos to Ms. Ginger Palma Arboleda for organizing such one of a kind event.
I hope a lot of people will enroll and encourage their yaya/caregiver to join this workshop. Not only will they learn more about their jobs, they will get to meet new friends
Great opportunity! I hope it’d be full packed! For sure many yayas will benefit!
It’s about time that that home care-giving especially to children with special needs gets to be professionalized by education. This is not only for the benefit of “yayas” but also their wards and the parents.
That’s a great seminar that will benefit both the nannies and employers. Though most nannies are experienced, still many of them lack the proper training on child care.
nice to recommend the training to other friends , caregivers because they will benefit from it
