Took me a long time to decide on changing my maid. She had 2 employers before me , one for 8 yrs and another for 2.5 years. She has been with me for 4 years. She is very patient with the 3 boys and my youngest really likes her very much. The boys were very happy that we agreed to renew her for another 2 years at higher salary and better benefit. I heard that her previous employer’s kids like her very much too. I must admit she’s good with young and older kids. But after much consideration, I decided not to renew her work permit coming Dec and went ahead to apply for a new maid. Though she gets along well with the kids, behave well, reasonable with her off days, she is not gentle with the laundry, keeps cooking the same dishes and does things her way. Not sure if I make the right decision to change her but I hope to have a maid who follows my instructions and more capable in houseworks.
