In this book a normal salary is discussed along with how it is paid, and what other benefits are expected from the employer versus those that are optional. The food situation is always a primary concern of the maid especially if their nationality is other than your own. Whether you are required to provide health or dental insurance is another consideration that must be examined. Children Many expats moving abroad also have children of varying ages moving along with them. The care of children must be taught very carefully, considering they may not have had the same experiences as we.
Teaching takes time, effort and patience.
This book will help you guide the maid in the handling of the authority it is necessary they have over your children. We want to hire someone the children will respect and someone we will trust with their safety and care while we are out of our homes. Your guidance and teaching must be put forth in a clear, concise manner. This training period is the time in which you shape her into the type of employee you need and want working in your home. Having a live-in maid while living abroad can definitely be a very positive and rewarding experience for Americans who find themselves in a new country.
