I hope so pankajdheer and by the way my daughter is 3 years now and she is attending nursery but she will join the school soon and will be at home earlier that's why I need somebody to take care of her a few hours until arriving home but leaving her with a housemaid is a little scary

Hi! I used to work in a hospital and luckily they have a day care center. But i guess my kids (11 months and 4 y/o)during that time were not sold to that idea of leaving them in a daycare center. They were not able to cope up,hence they were always sick, my 4y/o son doesn't eat and became thin. My husband told me to resign since it was not ideal for my kids to stay there.I was always absent from work and my superiors began to warn me about it. I had to choose between my family and career. At present,since my children had grown, (3.5y/o and 7y/o now)my husband told me that i can go back to work,but the only problem now is,if they will still accept me,since it's been almost 3 years now from my last employment of only 5 months. I really want to go back again,but how?

I am a working mom too. I have a live in maid to look after the kids.First of all you have to be very very good with the maid if you want her to be good to you. Treat her like one of your family members, she will never betray you.If you are planning to hire a maid, look in to these guidelines

Actually I don't have someone close to take care of my daughter here in Qatar and I can't send her to my country that will be hard for me and for her

ask referrals from friends or relatives.

if somebody is referred it means they do good job.

It's best to have someone who very much close to you as you are very sure that your kid/s will be taken care off well. My mom is watching 2 y/o daughter. I don't have housemaid but we can manage our household chores.
