New Maid

We finally picked up our FDW (Foreign Domestic Worker, aka Maid) from the employment agency last Thursday. We brought her directly to MIL's place as she will be permanently there (at least for now) taking care of MIL until later when Wifey delivers.

Anyway, she is pretty tall compared to other Indonesian maids. Hopefully it means more strength to support MIL when she needs to move around. The maid also has 6 years experience working in Singapore (although it was only for 1 family), and it shows. This also means paying a premium for her salary.
After reaching MIL's place and a bit of orientation, she got to work. Comparatively, I guess its easier for her to take care of 1 elderly (and 1 newborn soon) as compared to a family of 6 with 3 kids as with her previous employer.

FIL and us are currently monitoring her performance and so far so good. Keeping our fingers crossed ...
