I had the same problem a few months ago. It was a awful , i was a new mother and so i needed a housemaid urgent. I hired temporary people while waiting for my kadama visa to be approved. My experience was very bad. Lots of run aways with boyfriends. Some are thief or too much demanding, some will show up for one day, ask for advance money and promise to return and the next day, will text that they will not come. No sense of responsibility, if not very bad attitude. My advice to you? Just hire a temporary house help like for an hour or two. They have legal sponsor and does part time works. Just dont forget to ask for their paper and have copy of it. If you have a child, you can send them temporary to a child care. You can find lots of advertisement here in QL, just check them out first before you send your child for safety. Good luck.
