my two phiippino helpers actually worked quite well together (one oversea one local hire). I've assigned one to be responsible for my son and the other would focus on housework and my dog. Yet I also mentioned that it's not exclusive so they would cover each others if need to. (i.e. when my son is napping both of them will do housework...sometimes both of them will play with my son etc)
As for rest day I've arranged them to take alternate sat/sun. (I've mentioned this during interivew)
They seems to get along fine. Sometimes they will order mcdonalds delivery together or the one went on holiday would bring Jolibee fried chicken back for the other one.

Thanks. It seems a perfect suitation for you. Is any one of your helpers play a leading role so that the other one will be willing to share work when asked? I can imagine that in my case, if two helpers taking care of two kids respectively, they may wonder why i am supposed to do this housework instead of another helper. Or is it possible to divide the housework?

The one who worked longer for me kind of took on leading role but lucky she\'s not too bossy. Also I always emphasized the importance of teamwork and reminded them that they are a team.
And when i see either one took put extra effort (took up extra initiative) i would praise her so she knows her effort doesn\'t go unknown and i will give her extra bonus or small gifts from time to time to show my appreciation.
Basically i didnt specifically assign separate role except to delegate one to focus mainly on my son. But i have listed out what i want them to do every day. Its up to them how they finish them.
Anyway, i think i am lucky to have found two helpers that could work well together.
Btw, i personally find philippino\'s sense of hygiene is higher than indo in general.
