LIVING WITH YOUR PARENTS: it's the honorable thing to do here in Africa. Your aging parents may need to live with you because you live where they can easily access medical care, War in your village, no one to care for them and a host of other issues. It doesn't matter whose parent it is, whether Husband of wife. It is a very difficult transition for both the parent and the hosting family. The role of the housemaid in this setup is very important and needs to be put into consideration. Some families decide to hire another maid while others may choose to keep one maid. Several factors will guide that decision. The biggest challenge of all is the attitude of your aging and ailing parent. Be honest. You know your parent, you got raised by them. Many a maid has left a home because of the interference of a parent. They usually think the maid is earning too much for nothing. Some use the maid to ensure the son sees how useless his working wife is since she can't be home to properly look after her family, some will demand for attention of the maid to simply sit and listen to them or to take them for a walk or to give them the neighborhood gossip because they are bored out of their minds. Others will insist on bossing the maid to a point she doesn't know whose instructions to follow. Others will decide they need a maid who understands them better and so keep reporting and running off your good maids. Others will argue with every instruction given to the maid just so she enforces her own preferred food choices, customs and traditions. Consider carefully the maid arrangement in your home as you make a decision to live with your parents...

Maid Identity:
Who is your maid? The single most interesting common question from people seeking maids is this "Do you known where she comes from?". They want to know her village and parents. And that is usually as far as the security check goes. As long as one is assured that the maid's village and mother is known. Fair enough,but is that really all you need to know?don't you realise that these girls won't go back to their mothers once they commit a crime? Do you know her mother won't tell you the truth if she knows it about her daughters character? During formal job interviews, do you ever get asked who your parents are or where your village is? Almost never. If you're really that security conscious Here is what you should do. 1. GET THE OFFICIAL ID. Either the a copy of National ID or Passport. 2.Get her passport photographs. 3.Talk to people in her current neighborhood, 4. ask about other relatives she may have in the city. 5.Introduce her to your LC1 Chairperson.....Get information that the police can work with in case issues arise..If she's from an agency ask for her work history. Her mother is not the sum total of her identity... Good luck maid hunting. www.amanidomestics.com
