Hi


My new maid has been with me for about 2 weeks now. My usual practice has always been to provide my maids with shampoo, soap, sanitary pads, toothpaste, brushes n hand lotion. This new maid didn’t have any nail clippers or tweezers so bought those for her myself. One our first grocery trip I asked her if she is short of any toiletries n she said no. Then she asked me for baby powder. I got her one bottle since its not costly n I want her to smell good. The second trip I didn’t ask her anything but she asked me for deodorant. That’s when I told her that to me these additional things are extra n I don’t normally pay for them. But she’s got no money so I told her I’ll get it for her this time but in future she’s going to have to pay herself. Now I’m worried that she thinks she can just ask for anything n get it. Wondering if I made a mistake getting the two items for her. They are small things n not very costly but I dont want her to become demanding n then I have to deal with bad attitude if I happen to say no in future. What should I say if she asks for more things at the next trip? Two consecutive trips in two weeks was too much. If she had asked me for the second thing next month I might not have minded.

Hi I’m dealing with a slippery agent n need to double check. I paid maid insurance of $321. Transferred maid out after 5 weeks. Supposed to confirm replacement today. I hvnt received any insurance refund n the agent wants me to pay $321 again. Isn’t the insurance supposed to be prorated n refunded?
