- When we hire maid, basically some employers are giving the same food that they eat, but it doesn’t mean they consider themselves as a good employer. Have we ever think whether it will be enough for the maid to sustain into their daily duties, that it will be giving them enough nutrients. We all should understand, working as a housemaid using not only mind, but more on physical strength and stamina and for them to survive and give a better service, employer has the responsibility to care into their helpers physical & medical conditions.
- Hiring maid cost money, employers invested big amount for them to hire a maid. We cannot be avoided the feeling of doubts and fear in case the maid run away, then we will face the losses in just one glance. Therefore, to feel secure, we wanted to hold some of the maid salary which consider as a security deposit. On the other hand, have we ever think, what is the reason all foreign workers decided to leave their family and work overseas? For them to earn to support the daily needs and provide better education, if employer holding the maid salary, how to meet their dreams?
- Typically, in the first few weeks or months of their contract, we will encounter or experience that our maid will feel homesick or will have some personal problem which lead them to sadness, causing them to grief and decide to go back. We feel disappointed and probably get angry towards the maid nor the agency, which should not be. They are human being, cannot control what is running in mind, they are not a things that we but from the store, once broken or damage, we can just return into the shop and change according to the warranty period. Finding out, discussed and understand what is the reason/problem and finding the suitable solution is the best way.
- Have we ever clearly bearing in mind the reason why we hire a maid? Of course to lessen the burden in the house hold chores, to have someone we can rely on our busy day like assisting the needs of our kids, husband, wife, mother, father… Sometimes or maybe often, employers will be bossy and expecting too much from their helper, but have we ever realized, especially for those homemakers, when the time we still not working or even remain not working, how we struggles into our family members and households? So we all should know the maids also have their limitations.
- Overall, trust, acceptance and confident on luck is the key to have a success relationship between our maids. We cannot say that we’ll not going to encounter problems in between the employment period, it’s how we handle the situation.
