| We've not found one ;-( I'm now extremely cautious about helpers these days given that the last one sent my husband a love text (by mistake according to her), mucked up my laundry e.g. whites turned blue, bought wrong groceries, ruined our Bugaboo cover (which costs about HKD$2000 to replace) etc. etc... and we never once docked her salary.
We currently have a short term solution.
Mind you... we are not fussed as employers... we make sure our helper stops work at 8pm everyday and insist that rest is taken during the day. She gets a food allowance even though she eats what we eat and we don't eat cheap. Everything we eat is Australian or organic.
We've been fair employers but i think just very unlucky. I've been advised to try for an Indonesian helper instead of Filipino as they are supposed to be more conscientious. And, to go for a younger DH.
