Hi,


I have a new Filipino maid who has been with me for just 3 months. She was ex-Saudi. I let her use her own mobile phone during the night to contact her family. However, I just found out that she has been using my kids mobile phone to call Philippines. It’s around $120 and I’m still waiting for this month bill to get the total amount. When I confronted her, she denied but after I showed her my phone bills, she admitted it. When I asked her why she denied at the first time, she said she’s scared. She’s now still working with me but I’ve banned overseas call for all my kids mobile phone and land line.

I’m scared since I can’t trust her anymore so I plan to get a new maid. I plan to take transfer maid since I need to have maid straight away given that I have 2 kids, 8 and 10 yo and 1 small dog. How is the procedure for this?

Note: I won’t get back to her agency to get a new maid. I was having my 1st maid for this agency 3 years ago and she was very good, however she asked to go back to PH to take care of her kids. I got my 2nd maid from the same agency, however I returned her after 2 months since her performance is quite bad given the warnings and instructions. My ex-Saudi maid is my 3rd maid from the same agency, replacement of my 2nd maid.

Please give me some advise. Thanks for all your help.
