I also have the same problem before, my ex-maid worked for me for 1 and half year and she always made mistakes and my mom really hate her. She need to take care my son 1 year old and i know she pretend she love my son in front of us but in fact she is not. All of my sisters and my mom ask me to change another one because my 2 nd son is going to born on this month, but i am so afraid if i hire another one even wrost than she. Luckily, i fired my ex-maid on october and my new maid has work for me for 3 and half months, she is much much more better than my ex-maid and i can see she really treat my son nice straight from her heart. So if your maid is not up to your standard u may try another one and hope u can also get a good one.
I paid one month to her and my husband ask me to give her $500 more as a goodbye gift to her, (finally i paid her around $8500 include air ticket and travel fee and annual leave payment). I choose another agent and paid around $2000 for the agent fee.
