I am so envy you as you got a good maid and had good memory with her althought it is sad to say bye. My maid just come one and half month, i don't know why I always feel this not good, that not good. I have below feeling and observation. Sometimes, I wonder it is my problem or her problem. My mother always told me not to treat her like a enemy. I try to be nice to her, but when I see and feel what she did. I really cannot control myself. Please advise if you were me, what action would you take and what will you tell her to improve.
case one
Clean the high chair - I asked to clean the high chair, she said already cleaned, then I found lot of rice and food on the chair, so I asked her to clean again. She cleaned it at once, then I checked again, there is some leftover under the pad of the high chair, I asked again, and she did it. Then I checked again and found the rubbish at the side of the chair. Totally asked for 3 times. She did not say any sorry.
case two
Orange - I gave her orange which has been put in kitchen few days but still ok inside, she threw to rubbish bin and give "word" to me.
case three
Caring children - when we have dinner, she will help us to carry baby, but she did not move at all, she is just like a chair, I asked her to play with my baby, she shows no interest to do so.
Case four
Every morning she does the same thing, at the same time, at the same position. Then within 10 mins, she finished the task which supposed to take at least 30mins if she do throughtly.
so and so.
Any comment, if you were me, would you feel good about this.
My maid will also be retired and leave us on 19/10. We've many good memory with her, she's really an excellent helper that helps me a lot, she also loves and cares my kid, always shows her sincere attitudes heartedly to our family.
We'll also miss her very very much, hope she enjoys her family life in future. :-P
