cybabe, do you work? Is that why you are worried?
Personally I think using web cams could ruin trust between the employer and helper. Besides, even with a web cam, you can't possibly monitor her 24/7. If you are worried, you can spend more time coaching her handle the baby and observe her work until you feel comfortable to leave her with the baby.

Hi Elt,
Yes i will going back to work in oct, i do
agree what you say about the trust that's why I'm struggling. Since the maid not arrive in HK yet I really can't tell how is her performance. I may need to ask my parents come over during the day time to check if everything alright.

Going back to work in Oct...um... so I take that you already gave birth? Congratulations!
I think having your parents over is an excellent idea! My helper arrived when the baby was one month. It was her first time working away from home and she never handled new borns so I was really worried at the beginning. My parents turned out to be great help. They let the helper do most of the work but coached and assisted when necessary. So it allowed the helper the time she needed to adjust, learn and build confidence. But to be honest, it did take me a few months to stop worrying but I guess that's in our nature as mummies!
