I have hired a new Phil maid to replace my previous Indo maid and she has now arrived HK for 3 weeks but she is still unable to 'control' my daughter to eat meal, take bath and wake up.
My previous maid is very good in keeping everything on schedule and knows ways to 'attract' my duaghter to finish the task.
Is child about this age difficult to switch as she has now her own thinking and preference?
My maid is first time to HK and has only worked for 1 contract in Philippines. We choose her coz we would like our maid to have weekday day off while my preiouvs maid asked for Sunday and she might be less tricky than those already in HK.
What would you do? Will you replace her or keep on to try for how long?
Hi, Jasmama.
I am thinking whether to renew my yanyan. Since your previous maid seems capable to handle her job, do you have any regret after dumping her?
Please share.
I can say half and half and it really depends what you want and how independent is your child.
My daughter used to sleep in my room since she was born but now she is sleeping alone in her room (we have just moved). We just find that her daily schedule has changed since she has her own room. She used to wake up early about 7-8 am everyday and wake up sometimes in midnight, which my hubby & I feel a bit tiring as we cannot sleep longer on Sunday and holidays or take a nap on those days if our maid is day off on Sunday.
However she now wakes up late in the morning about 10-11am after we have moved and whether Sunday off is not a big problem now. Also my daughter is quite independent and starts to like to take care things by herself though still need assistance of course.
Also, my maid has been in HK for 6 years and has many relatives & friends and a Pakistan boyfriend (which we pretend we don't know about it), she is very smart and will make up story (lie) in order to
do something that she wants or to cover that she has a boyfriend (She has a husband in Indo hence she doesn't want us to know she has a boyfriend in HK). But this is not our main concern as many maid lie and her intention is not to do something bad to us or our baby but just to cover her secret......
She is very caring for our daughter, she taught her to do daily tasks such as wearing shoes, socks, clothes gradually and she even helps her on potty training. We don't have to ask or orgainise this.....
Overall, we feel that she is good in taking care of baby but as our daughter grows, we think a Phil maid will be better in giving an English environment and also because of their higher standard of education though we don't rely on our maid to teach our duaghter English but she can at least read story books to her everyday.
Sorry this is a bit long but hope that it can give you some light.....and I start to feel that 'Maid issue' is a big problem for working mom like me......
If I were you, I would give more time to the daughter and the new maid to adapt. I guess your daughter needs time to tune hershelf for the new living environment and the new maid, too. Besides, age two is called Terrrible Two. In other words, if you get another maid, no matter for better or worse, the situation will be the same. The effort right now needed is to help them (your daughter and maid) to get along with each other and the new environment. So far, it seems that your new maid does not do anything wrong. So, I would suggest you keep her.
