That is not much at all I would be very frustrated she obviously thinks she's got it easy! At least our pretends she's working!! Hopefully after I go through things tomorrow with her it will get better!
I think that is quite a lot per day although it depends on how quickly they work but all these things should be done throughout the week. I have done a list now of what things I want done each day. I told her this morning that I want her to do some more things and do things differently and she said I already do a 12 hour day!! I had to laugh! I have figured out a 9 hour day for her I don't think that is to much to ask for considering she has 2 days off a week?!
She has a 2 year contract so not coming to the end yet. I think I will have to use the new baby as an excuse. I think I am just not used to have somebody working for me and also am unsure of what other families maids do.
Hi,
We have a lovely Sri Lankan maid that has been with us for 1 year now. We hired her just before I gave birth to my twins for help with the house and dogs. I am now pregnant again and feel like I spend my whole time tidying up we live in a fairly small house. (compared to some of the Villa's here!) I do work from home but generally do it around baby sleep time so she doesn't really have that much to do. Recently I have noticed that it takes here ages to do any thing and that by about 4pm she has disappeared to her room. In 3 hours this morning she has taken the dogs for a 20 minute walk and sprayed some water around the garden and that seems to be it! We have always been very kind to her she has 2 days off a week. If she needs to go to the bank or anywhere in the evenings we let her. We also let her do part time on her day off. (Cleaning for my Father-in-law and babysitting for a neighbor) I just that she is not doing much work at all around the house and just doing the basics we just moved some furniture around and most of it was thick with dust! Some advice on what to do would be great as I really want to get it sorted before baby number 3 comes in april! I would be interested to know what other peoples maids do in a day and how long they work I see our neighbors maids up at 5pm washing cars. I wouldn't expect that much but feel we should get a bit more!
