Some months ago, I posted that Nico's yaya had asked to leave. I actually asked her to stay until I found someone to replace her, to which she agreed. Well - months later, I have finally hired a replacement (although a little too young for my preference, we are giving her a try) but have asked the yaya to stay until the end of the month to help "teach" the replacement.
Well, this morning, yaya asked if she could leave this weekend - one week early - because she had found a new job. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the request, but I guess the overly-trusting me expected more in terms of loyalty. Just goes to show that no matter how good a yaya is, in some way, she is really still an outsider and loyalties and promises will only go so far.
A lesson in detachment.
Moving on.
