I have been looking for a maid for about a month. I have interviewed several and finally found a suitable woman last week. We were supposed to go yesterday to start the sponsorship process and now she won't return my calls! I really liked her, got a great reference for her and was pretty excited that I finally found someone. She seems to have disappeared! She was on a cancelled visa that was due to expire tomorrow. I am assuming she must have gotten another position and is scared to tell me??? So frustrated! I am supposed to start work next week and now I am back at square one :(
Please, if anyone knows of a good nanny/maid PLEASE let me know!!! TIA

I can't help CABear but I just wanted to say good luck. When I was last employing a maid I hired three ladies that never turning up on the starting day. One of them I managed to get hold of by calling on a different number and she told me she'd decided to take another job. When I told her that it would have been nice if she'd told me she seemed puzzled! Another one called a few weeks after her no show to say she'd taken another job but didn't like it and would be at my house to start the following day. Er, no!
