suzan, personally I would say 11 months old is way too young to be left on the care of a maid.

Yes you work for your saving and your son's future. 11 months old cant complained to the parents if she/he being abused. The maid not going to tell you if accident happened to the baby. You might one day find out (god forbid) he / she suffer something serious. By then you cant turn the clock back. You might have all the money in the world, but your child welfare cant be value with any amount of money.

My son since the day he is born, till now never being left to the care of a maid. I chose not to go down that path.

You decided to leave your baby to the care of a maid. You shouldnt ask about on this board. Yes horror stories does happened ...
