Maid food allowance advice needed
First time hiring a full time filipina nanny...she doesn't cook at all...she says her sister always cooks for her back home,her food habits are different from ours ,right now I am doing the cooking...am I making a mistake here by cooking for her...should I just ask her to cook her own food she eats noodles for breakfast and she wants white rice for lunch...everyday we have fish for lunch and meat for dinner so I give her the same except she prefers kuboos for dinner.I am not planning to take her shopping with me coz it's just been 10 days with her and her lists keep increasing from day one...we waited for a long time to get an English speaking Muslim maid...so i got her everything she wanted till now but I am a bit concerned now in 5 days all the hand wash in all four bathrooms are finished large kids shampoo lotion everything got over in a week,floor cleaners large 1litre bottles she finished in 3 days I have had a parttime for the past 7 years never really bothered bout all this just got it wen things finished but I am sure it wasn't this frequent...am I overreacting,I tried to explain to her and she is like yes mam and the same thing repeats...if I am to get her food supplies what all should I get for her like beginning of month she likes coffee but 1 big bottle of Nescafé only lasted for bout a week...so do I just keep on buying it every week or just get her 1 bottle and a bag of white rice and noodles for a month and ask her to buy her own if she needs more...and what bout the fish and poultry if I am to get her separately do you provide fish and poultry daily for ur maid can someone also tell me how many kg rice bag I should get her for a month...sorry I am totally clueless here I was thinking a Maid would be a huge stress relief looks like the other way rite now...gave her a pair of new sandals and she asked for 2 more...got her one more...got her 4 sets of maid uniform and all the other stuff like soap shampoos etc...she keeps on asking next I want this next I want that gave her 4 dresses the first week she says it not enough she came with a huge bag of clothes.and past two days I noticed she is taking extra food from fridge without asking...what is the best way to deal with this...am I giving her too much freedom should I start restrictions right away...it's her first time in dubai her previous work experience is one year in Kuwait and two years in Saudi...
