Would you leave your child alone with the maid?

As we parents working together for a living, we cannot deny that our kids need someone who take care of them while we are in our work which is the "nanny". I in my personal experience, the first time i left my eldest child to her nanny, i felt sad but i can do nothing because i have to work. So what i did is only to put my trust to GOd. I pray that you will take care of my kid. But i really thank God because my nannies of my kids are good to take care of babies. But when i arrive from the office, i will really take all of my kids.

What is a maid? hahaha The only people I actually know who could afford a maid were military families stationed in certain overseas countries. As soon as they got back to the US, that luxury was over.

We've all had good and bad experiences with maids, and to be honest, it's really hard to decide whether to trust them or not. We've had really trustworthy maids, our "yaya" when we were little was so devoted to us that until now, years and years later she still calls us up on our birthdays to greet us, and even sends us presents. She is now with another family we know, and she's also really trusted, and they even brought her along when they would go on family vacations. On the other hand, we had another maid when we were small who would scare my sister with match dolls that my sister developed a phobia. A banker friend of mine also told me how he found out how their maid used to hit their toddler son. I guess you have to consider very carefully whether to leave your child with the maid. You have to take into account how long and how well you've known this person, etc. etc. As for me though, I don't think I will. Of course, I can't really say for sure since I am not married, but if I do have kids, I would rather be hands-on with them, even if I have a maid or "yaya" in my employ. However, not because I don't trust the maid, but because I would want to play a primary role in raising my child. A good friend of mine sort of has a solution for this though. She is hands on with her son herself, but she also has a maid to help her out. They are a techno-savvy couple, she and her husband, and so what they did is install a surveillance system in their house. Of course, the "yaya" is aware of this as well, and so she knows not to try anything when my friend entrusts her baby boy to her.

Well if she is the maid then she must ahve been through some screening process to determine your elligibilty for that post so I would leave my child with her .Granted some maids are nice to the kids when you are there and nasty behind your back but I guess its a risk that you may have to take dependin on the circumstance but i would trust my child with the maid rather than teh neighbour

As far as I am concerned, I think if the maid is so familiar with my family, I will leave alone my child to the maid.I just want the maid can take good care of our child. But if the maid is not so familiar, I will not leave the cild to the maid. Happy mylot.

My cousin has a two year old baby and they have a maid in the house. She used to take care of her kid and the maid is just their to do household jobs and can be asked to do some things for the baby. She will not leave her baby on her maid alone. But things change when she goes abroad. She has her husband to take care of the baby, but since, he is working too, the baby is left with the maid. I find it good because the maid has been there for almost 2 years now. So probably they trust their maid already, and they can leave their baby on her.

I still think it would be better if there's somebody like our parents to be around with the maid and children.This is why living with parents is a great thing but I don't have such luck. Hence, I can only do things myself cos finance is tight when it's only one person earning, so can't have a maid to help around.

HI mawong I like to tell You One famouse proved i.e It is very easy to believe some one, it is very very very easy to break it but difficlt is only to make it.Now a days so many case come out in sight which are about child abusing by maid which break trust of all.Our baby is very precious i am sure after seening all this no one parent is ready to take any risk to give their baby to anyone. probably! It denpends on them but after listen all this horriable news i dont give my baby to any one at any cost i like to take his/her care own. have a nice day
