Here is Amy, our amazing ayi. Renata and I just flew back last night. After my shower, I was delighted to see our ayi, Amy, in the office ironing Luca's t-shirts. I know, I know, but she irons everything.
I took her picture and told her that she was the person about whom most folks back home wanted to learn. She laughed and smiled for the camera. And when I showed her the photo, she said, "That's good."
All ayis make ex-pat life easier, but our ayi is especially excellent at helping our life run smoothly. When she helped me unpack my suitcase, she found a skirt with a broken zipper and said that she will bring to a tailor to replace it. She also had our beautiful Chinese tapestry framed for just 180 yuan--about $25 because she compared shopped on our behalf.
Please post questions about Amy or ayis and I will try to fill in any blanks. Renee
