maid question- what would you do?
I have a maid for a month now and cannot decide to keep her or send her.
The summary is I have a toddler and a baby and may need help with the baby care too.
This maid was not babysitting but just cleaning in her previous house.
Pros: She is excellent with cleaning and the house work. My house is clean and tidy all the time without telling her. She is very fast and energetic. She comes from an Arabic family where she had to wear uniforms etc, so she was very happy to work with me in our relax environment.
Cons: For a few days she walks around with an angry face, and acts out. She says a loud 'YES' to my requests and shows attitude. I spoke to her and asked if everything is ok and she said yes. I made it clear to her that we need help with the baby-child care. I took her to a birthday party with my son, where DS got wet and while all the other maids ran to bring towels she didn't even react. I went and brought the towel for DS.
She was petsitting in her previous job and she confessed to my mother that she was kicking the dog sometimes :(
I am quite confused what to do? Would you keep her or send her?
