All About Full-Time Maids

i’ve already confronted her and she told me she is not "stealing", when she get her salary she will put it back…I told her "taking without asking is stealing". Then i asked her what she did with the $30, she gave all sorts of excuses like buy ezlink card and sanitary pad. I asked her to show me the pads, she went to her room and tried to dig around then told me she finished using…when earlier she told me she only took the money yesterday as she needed the money.


Sigh! why are they so like that?

ASLMUM:

Need some advice....if you realised that your maid has taken money from the money you left with her for emergency at home...will you still let her transfer or send her home? I'm at a loss as i don't want another employer to have to deal with her, but she has 3 kids back in PHilippines and i feel bad about it....sigh!

Did you confront her why she took the money? Maybe you can tell her if she need money she should ask first? If it is not a lot of cash suggest you transfer her out.

Ya i did…she said she needed money for top up. She’s always over spending and has been advancing on her pay. I’ve been very lenient with her and loaned her money before her payday until i put my foot down earlier this month. I believe that is the reason she took the money. Still, it is a breach of trust.

Then dont keep her anymore.

I just told my maid to leave earlier in Sept rather than in Nov when the contract finish. She gives me a black face!! I explain to her it’s very hard to wait till Nov because I may not be able to find a suitable maid. Now that I found a new suitable maid then of course I must grab the chance. Wa!! Her face black like charcoal! Her work permit expire only in Dec, she says it’s my fault that I ask her leave early!!

Die now till sept, I worry she will feed my child shit!! Mistake number 1, I shouldn’t be soft hearted! I thought that at least give her 3 months notice since she has worked with me for 2 and half years!!

Tensions in the house now!! Die lah… My hubby not in town. How hah?? Mistake number 2, I forgot that she always alone at home with my child. How???
