Maid to Order : Part 2

Everything went well at the airport yesterday. After seeing her off, we let Akid out of the pram.. he was so happy running in the open space with his brother,Alif. Hariana is a cool mum. She takes things slow and steady, yes she can get a bit "kan-chiong" but she handles it well. After what she had gone through with the maid-scouting, repartriation papers, unprofessional services of the agency and handling 3 children without having her hubby around(reservist).. wow, I give her an A* for being a SuperMum! I salute her! Not only she is a SuperMum, she's the Best Employer (to maids, I mean), I ever known.

No matter how angry she is with her maid, she didn't keep it at heart. When we were at the food court on previous day, she asked her maid what drink she would like to have, gassy or non-gassy. Other employer would just get mineral water or drink from the water bottle bought from home. Some employer don't even want their maid to be seated together. Her maid sat and ate together with us. We even had casual chats with her. I wonder what was it that she does not like in this family that make her want to leave. We asked but she couldn't answer. Hariana's style is simple. She only wants the children to be well taken care of- their food, time for school, keeping them company.. basically get along with the children, that it.. well, of course, basic house keeping is a must too!.

Well, now that the maid is gone, the children are happy to have their Mummy at home. I hope she will be able to get the maid she wanted and hopefully the maid will treat her family well cos' I know that Hariana and family will regard the new maid as part of the family. Just want her to know that I will be around to help if she needs me.
