I have 1 maid whom I (used to) think she is very good. She seems to love my daughter & I never complained about her at all since she worked for me in Dec. Today we took her out in our car. We dropped her off with our daughter before we headed for the supermarket. When I came home, she asked me if I saw a mobile phone on the back seat. I said no. She said it's ok, but I offered to go to the car to find it out for her as she should be quite nervous losing her mobile ($$$). I took my own mobile to call her phone to hear where the phone might be dropped. I found her phone & saw my photo indicating I called. She edited my photo to look like a monkey. I was shocked. My husband confirmed I had never been harsh on her. I paid her above market price etc etc. This is disrepect. I never address her as maid but helper. I almost take her to a trip overseas, now I have to think twice.
Last month when we went to Japan leaving my daughter with her, my daughter's face had 2 bruises on each side. She said my daughter knocked her face onto some hard toys & swore she didn't harm my daughter at all. My doctor friend said it couldn't be possible & warned me that she might have pinched my daughter.
One year ago, I had a maid who worked for me for 3 years & suddenly fled away, saying I didn't treat her well. This time my maid joked on me like that. What shall I do? Can any Philippino be trustworthy at all?
I just warned my maid too, she was found to do things not as told, same as you, I felt very disappointed :-( :-( :-( I trust her and treat her good as a family member.....
the maid got tears and promised to make improvement, I'm not sure whether it was 'true'
How old is your baby? If she can't talk, try to observe her reaction. If she does not like this helper, something bad might happen to her. I had this experience before when my daughter was 9 months old
I will never leave my daughter alone with my maid until she can talk, meaning can tell me what happened while I was away etc. Never trust domestic helpers, they have 2 faces!!!
