verisimilitude, that is so true. My grandfather had an Indian maid, and she lived with him until he died, then she went back home. We got our house maid through her, who was related to her. Her son, too. My sisters maids were recommended by our gran'dad's maid. So family references is good.

deedee, as for putting a surveillance camera to spy on her. I think whether she knows about it or not isn't right. Also lying about having one when I actually don't, what does that make me? Why would I have someone live in fear in my house? You are contradicting what you were proposing, freedom.

Gypsy, give me your number so when and if I get a house maid comes, she can call you if I mistreat her so you report me. How does that sound?

Do you even TRY to understand other perspectives/opinions?
