Dos and don’ts to avoid trouble with maids
Give the maid a true picture of what to expect before she comes to work for you. Make her understand she is not coming for a holiday abroad

Choose a maid who does not have an ailing husband or small kids back home. They may have genuine concerns and can easily become homesick

Wait for a month before you stamp the visa on the passport. That gives you enough time to study her behaviour and commitment to work.

Don’t let your housemaid go out unaccompanied for a long period of time. You are inviting trouble.

Always keep monthly salary slips and make your maid signs on them on their pay day. You may need to show proof at the embassy (GN).
