Ashley: Yup, I bring the maid out with me everywhere, even overseas. So I dun see the need for her to go out on her own. Anyway, her contract is without day off & no hp. Then she can only use the phone with my permission. So far, my current maid has been pretty disciplined. In fact, I've to remind her to call home lol.
Then again, my dear, dun bother to call home to check on the maid.
1st, once we start doing that, it becomes stressful for both us & maid.
2nd, what we dun know does not hurt. So long as there is no serious breach, minor slips we can accept, just accept la.
But always be firm with them from the start. Set the ground rules & tell her in no uncertain terms the OB (out of bound) Markers. E..g. I tell my maid, any slips regarding the kids (dirty milk bottle, etc), it's a one way ticket home. No need to discuss. But small slips for adults, we can still close an eye.
