Advice needed! Should i keep my maid?

[janet88]

If I were you, I will not keep this maid.

She is not trustworthy…but to send her off means the amount you lent her is gone. Really heartache.

Ask yourself this "can u still trust her?". The answer should help u make the decision.

as a SAHM, you are at home with the kids now...but can you trust her with your kids when you return to the workforce ?

I would suggest that you keep her at least until she has paid back what she owes you. If you are at SAHM now you can keep a close eye on her. Once the money is paid back you can review how she has behaved and make a decision. If you are going back to work you really need to trust her 100% and if you don’t then it is better to let her go. You might want to talk to her at that stage and say that you have been disappointed with her behaviour but want to give her a chance…keep her on her toes. If she wants to leave then you will be able to tell from that conversation and can start looking for a replacement.

Thanks all for the fast responseof advice!

I am a relatively trusting person who easily gives others a benefit of doubt but after the recent abuses i have been subjected to, its hard for me to not be skeptical abt what she says nowadays, which explains my more stern tone when talking to her compare to previous contract where i am more easy going with her…
Indeed the $$$ is heartache if to terminate her immediately, probly i will endure until its settled sometime in apr.
then again today she seems like nothing happened yesterday an working normally, but i very scared she drop another "bomb" of requests later on…like she usually does in the past.
If i decide to ask her to return home this apr…i supposed its best to give the shortest notice lest she does something funny in the interim… Btw, do you know any good agents that provides reliable help on such matters?
