Hi everybody, Thanks a lot for your advice . You were right since the beginning. We sent her back home. And now, I discovered new information about her which make me think that it was the right decision and regret that I haven't taken this decision before (being specified that she worked for us only 2 months). I was informed that she is looking for another job here in Dubai, and that she has a contact with a French woman. I hope that she will not be hired.

@pugsley: I am not a poster child for managing the maid. Believe me, I have treated mine with a lot of respect and affection and lately am getting a ridiculous amount of attitude. But I could not come down hard on her as she was alone with my DD all day while we were at work. I was afraid she would take it out on her so I know how you feel. I quit working this week and am not not taking any of her ****. Dont know how long she will stay with me, but believe me she did a complete backward somersault when I put my foot down about her behavior. The reason I kept on her is that she LOVES my child and always puts her first and does everything she can for her (to the crazy extent that when we go out to the mall together she would rather it be her carrying my kid and showing her stuff than me)- and even then I was worried she would take it out DD. BUT it sounds like your maid is already not treating your child very well. Get rid of her for your sanity and also for the sake of your child.
