not sure if you share the same feeling:

my bb is in the separation anxiety stage, but i'm working during the day, so most of the time he's with bun bun. how can i make him less sticky to bun bun? whenever he sees bun bun, he will cry & want her to hold him.... sigh.....

my bb will also cry sometimes when he sees the maid. but i think he is less sticky than lucas since we only hire the maid when he's 8M old. however, as before 8m, he's taken care by por por, so he is more stickly to porpor now and not willing to walk when he sees porpor....
btw, will your maid leave soon??

yes, to my surprise. i think she's telling the truth. but if i let her take a leave, not sure if she can come back in time. problem - both of her teenage sons stopped studying & not talking to her. they started smoking & drinking. she wants to go back to talk to them & come back to work. cos she's the bread winner of the family, separated from husband. she has to look after 3 children + her parents.

if i give her 4 week off, & she doesn't come back, will have no maid for at least 2 months in total!!! i told her i'd start looking for now. if i see someone good, really can't wait for her.......

my sis got the smiliar case b4. Her maid wanted to go back home to see her family and she promised she will be back. (her relationship w/ my sis was good.) but of course no return!! she broke the contract. but as an employer, nothing we can do.
so u better find a new maid now. it is no harm if u can see a suitable one.

just interviewed a maid today, just want to share with you al:

Advantages
- good experience withc childcare
- been in hk for 14 years
- children all grown up
- speak good english

Disadv
- age: 45
- last job - taking care of elderly; quite easy job
- a little "old ginger" ie not sure if i can head her

spoke with her employer in hk, she told me she was good to her babies but she said i had to be smarter than her.

what do you think, mommies?

my existing maid is not this type, she is of similar age & family background. but she's quite obedient & respect me well, hard working.

is she working for one employer for 14 years?
well, she is a bit old (i'm not age discrimination), but u know taking care of bb (or young child) is not an easy thing. it really requires a lot of energy.

if the maid's character is good, for sure she will be very loyal to u cuz' it is not easy to find another job again.

If only two, i will certainly choose Candidate A..... but preferable if she was younger (<35). when will your existing maid leave?? if u urgently need a maid and no other better choice is expected, then can choose candidate A...

i'd also prefer 30 sth. went to overseas agency yesterday, it's like walk-in open interview. it's more like them picking us. least preferred work type : new born & disable!!!!! most of these people r looking for job upgrade ie easier jobs. so i only got the adv of "working mom" ie no one to watch them all day that's it..... the agency told me philippinos are really choosy, they don't like looking after babies. all of them want to look for working couples, just cleaning & cooking!!!
