Paano nalang yung mga employers na nananakit or super strict and hindi marunong makisama? They really don't realize how lucky they are, for them to take their work for granted and abuse their employers. <br /><br />It is so hard to look for people you can trust. I'm so inis at the fact that I have to look for a new one again. Back to zero.

Just want to share my story with you -- This kasambahay was with us for more than a year - when she started working for us, she found out that she was pregnant (she told us she was married). She continued to work for us until her 7th month because she said she needed work badly to prepare for her baby's birth...while she was with us, we almost coddled and spoiled her - my reasoning, kasi nga, buntis, kelangan wag mahihirapan.<br /><br />She came back to us a few months after giving birth. We had to leave her alone in our house because we had to go out of town for a few weeks. Fortunately, my aunt's home was just a few minutes away from our own; one of their kasambahays discovered that OUR maid was regularly letting an unknown man inside our house! And she (my aunt's maid) was shocked because one time, our maid let that man in - and he went straight to our kitchen to check what's inside the ref. That means, he knew his way around our house, at home na!!! :O Turned out, that guy was our maid's real "boyfriend", and that he used to deliver drinking water to our aunt's home. Nakakaloka, good thing our maid asked us if she can go home since "wala naman akong ginagawa, nakakatamad dito sa bahay" (e ang sarap nga ng buhay nya, sumusweldo habang watching TV lang maghapon since we weren't there!). I don't even want to dwell on what they were doing when left alone in our house - good thing our bedrooms were locked, or else baka ginawang parang motel ang rooms namin with the ACs on, ugghh :O<br /><br />Immediately after we left, we had all the doorknobs and locks in our home changed, for our peace of mind. It's just so disappointing because we treated her as part of our family, even spoiled her in a way. Now we're also on the lookout for a new kasambahay - and hoping that the new one won't be as deceitful as the last one. :( <br /><br />Good luck with your search! May we be lucky enough to find trustworthy helpers once more...silverlilac1423https://aworldofserendipity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782448908857396263.post-54254514508424000052012-04-26T15:10:11.524+08:002012-04-26T15:10:11.524+08:00hay naku, yun first helper namin, ang bait namin s...hay naku, yun first helper namin, ang bait namin sa kanya, imagine ang liit ng condo namin, as in wala sya halos ginagawa, on her 2nd month, nag advance ng 1-month worth ng sweldo kase daw nabaha yung family nya sa cebu (yun yung may tsunami ata dun), so we believed her, inadvance namin february sweldo nya, nung nagday off, wala na, di na bumalik! iniwanan na damit. feeling ko ganun na talaga modus operandi nya, kase when we hired her, nagpaalam na before sya start kunin muna yung gamit sa dating amo. <br /><br />after 2 weeks nya mawala, nagtxt giving an alibi na something happened, of course we didnt believe her na, pinahirapan ko sya makuha yun damit nya, pinatagal ko talaga. kaasar eh!lelilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115762496049848133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782448908857396263.post-46450359656156811262012-04-26T12:36:02.282+08:002012-04-26T12:36:02.282+08:00P.S.

Plus, she was so patient with Sabine. Bata pa kasi, 17 lang. But she broke my trust and that's a big thing. If you're loyal to me, I'll give you what you deserve and more pa. Hopefully, the one we're interviewing tomorrow will make the cut. Ang hirap talaga maghanap ng reliable helpers :(Patty B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17874025939288521718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782448908857396263.post-91927475518083735432012-04-26T11:42:24.243+08:002012-04-26T11:42:24.243+08:00Nako, the endless helper issues!

This is one of the thing that baffles me when it comes to helpers - they simply don't tell the truth!!<br /><br />Ako, we're sanay with getting from agencies. We've also had our shares of horror helpers but then the ones that we currently have have stayed with us for at least 8 years. <br /><br />good luck in your search patty!!Didihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966608246374142055noreply@blogger.com
