Maid Woes!
Yesterday incident was the final straw for me! Think enough is enough, most likely will be changing to another maid... ...
On Saturday, I was already frustrated with her drying the 'washed' apples using the dish cloth. Only when I realised a medicine powder smell after chewing a few bites of the apple that I questioned her whether did she wash the apples, she replied, "Yes, I did wash & dry the apples." Was taken aback when she mentioned 'dry' and further interrograted her... then realised that she almost polished the apples with the cloth .... I could find no words to describe tis maid of mine.
About yesterday incident is really unforgiveable especially for me, since our 1st priority is she must be able to take well care of our 小公主. I taught her to bake potatoes for shervon's lunch before heading to KM class in the pm. She went ahead & started preparing with me supervising her, then I instructed her on the timing & keep watch at the oven in case it overcooks.
After almost an hour & a half, I asked her whether it's done, she told me yes. Luckily, my common sense tell me to check whether it's ok & I asked her to show the cooked potatoes to me. I was disappointed that it was uncooked, the color of the potatoes a dull yellow, goes to show that it's not cooked at all. Then, I asked her whether it's cooked. She could replied me "Chop chop, can feed shervon already" I was hopping mad, is that what she's been feeding my daughter everytime? This wasn't the 1st time that she's cooking the potato, she should know the difference between a cooked & uncooked one. I wasn't blaming her b'cos she do not know how to cook using the oven but her altitude & perception towards feeding shervon with 'raw' food.
This is something I take very seriously, plus since she's here, she has been providing me with enough stress to last a few months. Frankly, if there's ever a choice on hiring her, I rather say "No, Thank you!!"
