EN: nanny; caregiver
The superhero without a cape in many Filipino households. She's the one who feeds the kids, helps with homework, and knows all the family chismis. A **yaya** is more than just a nanny; she often becomes a second mother or an 'ate' (older sister) to the children she cares for. She's the real MVP when both parents have to work.
