Just when my maid has received much "training" and gotten much used to our routine, she is now preparing to leave her Singapore and go back to Indonesia.
She has been taking care of my 2 daughters for the past 2 years. I wouldn't say she did a fantastic job, but she does genuinely cares about them, especially Ally my younger one whom she's been handling since 6 months old.
I know Ally will cry for her when she's gone... she's very attached to the maid. Besides mommy, she's the next person Ally will find for comfort.
When she leaves, we'll properly never see her again, few more years, the children will not even remember her. All she will be is a bunch of memories.

Not long ago, realising that we will be needing a replacement soon, we engaged the service of a maid agency to help source for a suitable maid. We brought back copies of the bio-data and got our maid to choose her successor. She picked out one that she thinks is best for us, which is also our first choice.
When we showed Ally her new "auntie", she firmly shook her head and said "no", then pointed to Yani.
I'm sure its not going to be easy, if anyone has any experience or advice to share, it will help.

Hey, never occurred to me to get maid's opinion on getting the successor, but it's a good idea. It's tiring isn't it, to train them and have them work for only 2 years...
when i hired mine, i specifically told the agent i wanted her to take care of baby, so i asked them to check on whether the new maid is good or not... they were willing to do that, and called indo for the advice there...
it's also good if u could have the option of having both maids together for 2 weeks or so, at least got time for the kids to get used to the new one isntead of a sudden change, and also the old one can teach the new one a bit of the routine... my MIL did that, I don't know if sg allows that though
