My first helper was also very good and she worked till the last minute before she left without me asking her to do so and she didnt need a schedule from me. Then I have hired 5 more helpers. Only one was good enough to stay 9 months and 3 of them cannot cope with the work or steal. My current one is very slow and can be tricky but she's young and can play with my daughter so i'm still keeping her but if she doesnt improve her slowness, it wont last long for her i'm afraid. We treat all helpers more or less the same but of course we learned to protect ourselves after dealing with some bad helpers who steal and cheat.
