Me too, I can't understand why you can only use the washing machine once in a week. We are also 4, including my maid in house. We will wash the clothes every 2 days. One for baby clothes and one for adult. We allow her to wash the clothes together with ours since we found that she used too much time in washing the clothes. Also since the clothes are very difficult to be washed clean and dry so has bad smell. The objective that you hire her is to take care of your baby not wasting the time in washing her clothes, right?
