Balik kampung : Episode 5 : Athirah and Nanny Ani

This week, we sent thirah to Ani 3 days in a row. We would like to give thirah extra time to spend with her nanny. This week is the last week thirah will be spending her time with ani and family. Next week, insyaAllah we will depart to Malaysia, back to our home town, to celebrate hari raya with our family and relatives. By the time we come back to Brisbane, Ani and family may have return to their home town at Lombok, Bali, Indonesia.

We are so grateful that Ani willing to look after Athirah when I need to go to the office. It is so difficult to find a babysitter that is affordable. Proffesional babysitter would charge you AD18 per hour, and a nursery would charge you AD55 for a day. Alhamdullillah, Allah has met us with Ani and family.

Ani treats Athirah like her daughter. She has 2 boys, Thoriq and Faiz. Thoriq is in the same class with Yaya at Ironside school. So we have also made arrangement with Ani husband to take turn sending and fetching Yaya and Thoriq. So we have become close to Ani and family.

Eventhough Ani is not well for the past few weeks, due to her pregnancy, she still willing to take in thirah. Last 2 weeks Ani was unwell, so she couldnt take care of thirah. Then on last Thursday, she sent me an sms, asking whether we are sending thirah on Friday. She said she has getting better, and can look after thirah. Her message to thirah, "Tante kagen sama tirah". But since thirah was not well last week, I have to apologise to Ani, but promise her we will send thirah to her this week.

Hope these few days, Ani dapat puas bersama thirah. And we are so thankful to her. I hope she is having a baby girl because she has been longing for girl for a long time.
