My house has only 2 rooms, one for me and husband, my helper share another room with my son who is now 17 month old.
But when my son is getting older, i want him to have his own room, rather than sharing a room with the helper. I cannot afford to buy another house with 3 rooms. Can i ask the helper to sleep in the living room?
Any mother has similar problem with me? How do you handle it? Where do you let your helper to sleep?
according to law, you need to provide privacy (incl. room) for her, it is stated clearly in contract. If no private room for her, she need to share room with kids under 12.
I agree with ppsfung:
actually, kids go to bed earlier than your maid. you can let him sleep alone. when he falls asleep deeply, you then let your maid go to bed (most likely before 11 pm). As ppsfung mentioned above, it is important to have a maid to take care of him in the course of midnight, esp. he is sick, she helps check temperature
can i ask you where state that if sharing room must be under 12? How about sharing room with a female? also need to be under 12? how about adult? how about elder?
