I want to find a new yaya for my baby. I don't know whether I can trust my current house helper anymore. I leave my son to her care almost 10 hours a day from Mondays to Fridays. And I don't really know what happens each time me and my husband aren't home. They are left there all by themselves practically the whole day. As a good employer I have treated her like one of my own. I let her enjoy freely practically everything that we have and own. I have never been selfish with anything, unlike other employers I know, or those I see on Tv who even maltreat their helpers. My helper can eat all she wants, and she could watch TV freely. I mean I should be good to her because she takes care of my son when I'm working. She even had access to my personal computer at home, which I let her use freely. But today, I just learned her to have logged-on to friendster. She couldn't keep that from anyone, i mean, as anybody knows, a prompt on your profile appears showing when you have last logged on. And I saw her log in just within 24 hours. I am worried because I know that my prepaid internet card at home has expired. And where else would she be able to access the internet but at an internet shop. The nearest would be at least 500m away from our house. I now wonder how she could do that when I just texted her asking how my little boy was. She replied that my son was sleeping. I couldn't help but think that she left my son alone at home while she went surfing the internet. And again, without my permission! I know I should confront her when I get home later. But even if she told the truth, I don't think I would let myself believe in her anymore. I have instructed her, time and again, never to leave the house and never to leave my 21 month old son. Whether she should go out of the house, she must still ask permission from me. I really should start looking for her replacement. I couldn't trust her with little things, how could I trust her with big things? Much more, entrust the care of my one and only child to her? This is going to be a big problem if I don't correct it now. I hope I could find someone to replace her soon. I couldn't tolerate it much longer. These maids, even if you treat them as a family member, they still have reasons to complain or bad mouth their "amos" and tend to abuse the kindness of their employers. I shall be sending her home soon. And I'm sure, she couldn't compare me to any employer she would meet in the future. Her loss, not mine.
