I have a new maid hired this month. i didnt know her background until today. when i hired her from agency, she only told me she is a single mom with two kids living with her parents in province.
today she told me her younger daughter is not living with her parents in province, but living with her former boss in QC now.
and what's more astonishing is they are involved with child molesting case now. my maid is waiting for decision of police/court? which means the case is almost over.

well, she is asking me if she can take a one-week leave, to bring her daughter back to province. besides, she wants to borrow some money - salary advance.

I think i need to talk to the agency owner first. kasi sabi ng maid ko she stayed two months in the agency while processing the case. so alam na ng agency what happened. but still they recommend the maid to me. im thinking whether the replaced one will be better and trouble free...

i also asked the maid if she can stay for sometime first - til July - this is what my husband suggested. she said it is ok. im pregnant and about to deliver soon (maybe in few days na lang). by July, if her performance is as good as now, and proven what she said is true, my husband and me will help her go back then.

do you think that's a good decision? should i lend her some money and let her bring her daughter back, or should i ask the agency to replace the maid with new one. honestly speaking she does cleaning job very well.
