Pammie, totally agree with you, for the same price, I get help in household chores.
Was actually thinking of putting #2 in childcare, but then my mom reminds me if there is HFMD, school close for 2 weeks, she will need to stay at home for 2 weeks. Sick also cannot go to school. So we felt, with a maid, we can offload the household chores and also help my mom to look after the kids
