I have the maid (philippino - 42 years old) and her contract will be finished in Feb 2006. (have been stayed my home for a year). Actually we have decided NOT to renew with her in 2006.
My daughter is now 18 months. And I find my maid takes care of her is quite well. For the rest of others, only passed.
Turn to the subject, my daughter got a Minor accident (with little blood and may with a scar on her Foreheard due to my maid's Carelessness. At first my husband and I also agreed still to keep her for the rest of year. But when I blamed her about her fault (yes, I blamed her very seriously, before that I am a good employer), she always argue with me and insists that is the accident (yes, this is accident, but caused by her). And we started to flight two to three times (only verbally). She blamed me also make mistakes/fault on my girl/house. Did you see that kind of maid before ?? May be I am young, she is 42 years and she never afraid me from day one.
To be honest, I am planning to fire her and very worry about the next maid. As she can take care of my girl quite well. (my daughter is not easy to take care, she can't eat well, and very active, can't stop at every second).
If next maid comes, my girl can't Eat and can't sleep (another stranger to carry and then let her sleep).
I always think 2-1/2 years old child (when contract finishs in 2006) should be better than 18 months now She will be more stronge/healthy and more easy to take care, is'nt it ??
Can you pls comment and help me what should I do for all experienced mama.
I think you should fairly judje the maid in terms of her overall performance instead of single issue (of course depends how serious of this accident) . As you said, it was an accident, although it might be caused by your maid, but honestly, was it belongs totally her fault? Is you house safe enough? is your daughter too naugty to take care? Was the situation can be totally avoided? Whether she is an overall a careless person or on this incident only? Even as a mother, sometimes, we may be careless and make mistake. You need to reveiw her past performance whether she can pay attention to take good care of you child. I don't know the details of this accident, but depends whether this fault can be remedy or not...
I've no comment on whether your maid is correct/wrong about the accident happened. However, I understood that as a mother you must not be happy with the maid coz she was with your daughter when it was happened. My daughter did try to fall down twice from chair and bb car respectively when she was few months old but luckily she didn't get hurt. Anyway, I was still very angry and blame seriously on my maid although I understood that were accidents. I just wanted to hold her full accoutability and responsibility on taking care of my daughter; she accepted and admitted of her oversight.
Now, when my bb is trying to touch or do some dangerous things, my maid is very sensitive and attentive to it.
thanks for all mama,
yes actually my husband and I also wanted to keep her for the rest of year. But I decided to fire her is she likes to argue/fllight with me, she didn't respect me I am her employer even those I blamed her how seriously. Also the relationship between she and I have been worsen, I hate her very very much when I see her face. If there is still a year (12 months), I don't think there will be a "big" flight again or not, So I have decided to fire her. many thanks.
