Hello moms,

I am really hoping for some help here. We've just caught our helper stealing money out of our wallets for the third time in 2 months. We cannot trust her now and I've just started back at work full time so now it is very stressful to leave her at home alone with my 3 months old son. I'm trying to find a replacement as soon as possible. If any of you know of a good, trustworthy helper looking for a new employer due to a relocation I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again.
 
I am with Shenzenifer, call the police. I wouldn't let someone who is knowingly stealing from me anywhere near my child.
 
Hi kinda think the same, what can the police do as she will just deny it. We have the same story here, so if anyone has a good recommendation of a good helper, please let me know also asap.

Many thanks
 
Do not leave your 3-month-old alone with someone you don't trust. It's not worth any amount of money or grief you might get from work.
Either * explain the situation to your boss and ask for leave
* get a grandparent / friend / relative to stay at home with the helper till you find a new one
* hire temporary help.
You can get a Chinese nanny through Bamboos agency, or a more expensive expat one through Rent-A-Mum.
 
Same situation. My helper was stealing cash strait from my purse. At first I thought to myself "where am I spending all this money?". Then I tested her. I had 2000 in all 100 denominations. When she took my bag upstairs for me as usual, I went about my usual routine. Afterwards I checked and exactly 300 missing. But you must be careful about letting her go. Terminate her by giving her 30 days pay in lieu of 30 days notice so you don't have to have her around for those 30 days. You've just gotta suck it up til you get a replacement lined up, then do it. I suggest terminating in the AM so she's got time to get checked into a boarding house. Dont forget to get her a 1 way ticket home and fill out the immigration dept notice of termination within 7 days of terminating
