The boys start their new school term. Sean happily announced to everyone that he is in K2. As for Shayne, there is still a big problem, he crises and refuses to go into the school every morning. He starts school at 18 months but till today he is still apprehensive of school. Why??? So we reckoned, Sara will only go to school after 2 years old. Don't get her exposed to school system at such a tender age.
The teacher in Twinkle Star told me that they have to adopt another method of teaching Shayne phonics as the conventional way is not helping him much. ah??? See, middle kid is really different huh?. These few week, Shayne is relatively co-operative as he listens to the night time story reading and participate in my questions and answers sessions. A good start for the year.
We are in the midst of settling and getting the right helpers….. Sad to say, our Filipino helper’s work performance is way below par…can’t meet our expectations (by the way, don’t be alarmed… our expectations are really not high). She is rather slow in her work….however, we can tolerate that. The main issue is she cannot handle Sara. She cannot shower or feed Sara. I reprimanded her as during the interview, she told me confidently that she can handle a one year old girl. She told me sorry and wanted me to sent her home. I was really mad with her and had wanted to send her to the agent on the spot. After second thought, since she has already changed three employers, I’ll give her another chance. My SIL has been great; she is taking care of Sara when we are at work. She bath, feed and plays with her.
We employed another Filipino helper to take care of Sara instead. This new helper graduated from midwife course and is experience in taking care of babies and children. This time we must be specific. She must be experience in child care. She will be coming over end of this week. So, back to square one…. We are going to have two Filipino helpers again. Our previous Indo helper cannot pass her exam and she decided not to work in Singapore.
Have a great week ahead.
