It takes a long time to train a maid, not to mention training her to take care of your baby, unless your maid is not new (rejoin your family), otherwise, you can't tell whether she is experienced in taking care of baby or not (some fake their cv), I agree you can take your baby with you to go travel when your maid is still not yet trained, but if you can't get passport for baby and you can't rely on "mama", then you either find a reliable relative and leave your baby at the relative's house for them to take care or you cancel the trip loh.
