When the contract expired next year, my maid (Philippino) will be going to 44 years old. And my daughter will be 2.5 years old.
The main problems with her are:
1) very absent-minded, always forgot something.e.g. some toilets kitchen switch off buttons .. etc
2) very NOT in detailed/systematic person, she needs me to guide her all the times, so I need to write down "buying list/to-do list" for her. Overwise she may did wrong.
3) not the tidy person, I need to follow up. e.g. didn't using the bag to pack something well. Sometimes it is a mass.
The above 3 are not up to my standard and sometimes make me angry
but, she can take care of my bb is quite well (the score marks about 68-70) at this moment.
also she is NOT the kind of "we we wet wet", likes to borrow the money. Only two good points of her.
Cleaning and Cooking are only passed
English (fair to bad)
not too much interest to play with my bb, may be she is old.
The concern is another maid is worse than her if so bad luck am I when I didn't renew her.
If I renew her, I am afriad she will be worser than now for the coming two years.
Don't copy my case.
I extended the contract with my bun bun because I think she can take care of her well and the housework is okay. However she is not a very cheerful person and don't really enjoy to play with kids.
But the most important for 2.5 year baby is learning interactively. I think she learn many words from my maid ...
e.g. No need, by yourself, I am naugty...
Most of the time I ask my maid to play with her, just make my girl keep on angry or crying. I think is not she want to calm her down, just she don't know how to handle as she has no interest at all to remember the method.
I suggest you change a new maid with cheerful heart who really like kid. I also consider to change her later.
Actually, whenever the employer consider to change their maid, I belive all of us will afraid: the next one will be worst than the 1st one.
For my case, my last maid was quite good to my son, she take care my son since he is new born, but the end of sept, I didn't continue her contract because she was really worst except good to my son, i.e.,
- she become my boss;
- Since my son can play by himself when he growing up, she always ignore him when they were alone at home, just keep using the phone, listen the music;
- she's not following our instruction any more.
She can do the above it was because she really know that we feel she is good to our son.
But finally, my husband and me confirmed not to continue her contract, it was because we belive that not only this maid will good to our son in the world.
Actually, my new maid already arrive our home at this month, at the first week, my husband really want to terminate her it was because she is very stupid(my last maid was too too clever), my husband hate stupid person very much, but after day by day, we feel that we can let her try and learn because she has many other good things:
- good to our son;
- willing to play with him;
- willing to work;
- very hard working.
Therefore, for your case, you can try another maid, of course you might met a worst one, but you can change another one again and again, until you satisfy.
Of course, it will make you very tired and trouble, but it's for your baby and long term, it's worth!!
In fact, I am also planning not to renew the contract with her as I am quite sure she will be worst than now if I really do that. Finally the suffer will be me. I remember she said that she wants to spend 10 years in HK. If including the coming two years, it will be 8 years already. She may change her attitude due to planning to retirement.
