Hiring a maid

We have filed an application for Indonesian maid recently, finally.
The decision was due to a few reasons:
- Siew Wei is allowed to work from home for her next project.
- We need to spend our quality time with Wen Jia after work.

The first reason will mean Siew Wei can still monitor the maid and how she is taking care of the baby.
The second reason is a bonus that we will be getting by having a maid clear most of the house work for us. This is something that we won't enjoy if Wen Jia would to be taken care by nanny.
Hiring a maid has really got something to do with luck. There are quite some bad experiencer, with a few exceptions. We are hoping that trust can be built over time between us and the maid that she can really be part of the family. Of course, it is easier said than done but we have just need to give it a try.
The keyword: respect. Respect and realise that she is human being and human being are by nature bound to a lot of complicated sentiment. More so if she is away from home for a two years "assignment". So, just need to put ourselves into her shoes and try to treat her base on that understanding, and hope that she can repay us with kindness as well.
