I have to admit, I’ve never been a Nanny myself unless looking after your siblings, cousins and own children qualifies you as a Nanny. But I doubt anyone would know what it feels like to be employed by strangers as a “Nanny” unless you’ve been one yourself.
So reading the Nanny Tales gave me an inside view of what these nannies go through. Their challenges, struggles and triumphs.
Nanny Tales was written for Nannies and by a Nanny.
About the Author
ANALYN DOCLAN ARYO
Analyn Doclan Aryo first explored writing as a student journalist in university. While studying for a degree in Agriculture at the Benguet State University in the Philippines, she served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Mountain Collegian, the official student publication of the said university in 2001 to 2002.
After graduating, she worked as a lay-out artist/staffwriter of the Information Section of the Department of Agriculture-Cordillera Administrative Region.
When she left the Philippines in 2005 to work as a Domestic Helper in Hong Kong, she continued on to write. She won the Editorial writing contest of the The Sun, a leading newspaper in the Filipino community in Hong Kong. This became very instrumental in her next involvement as the playwright for the play, “Migrant Collective” which was staged at the Fringe Theater.
After Hong Kong, she crossed borders and entered Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program in 2007. At present, she works in Ontario as a professional nanny. She is a Benguet-born Igorot of the Applai (Besao) and the Bontoc tribes of the Mountain Province.
