5 Tips on Handling a New Helper: Access
Providing your maid with access to a mobile or a house phone ensures that she will be able to contact you immediately whenever there are important or emergency situations. You may want to purchase a prepaid mobile plan for your helper, giving her limited but sufficient credits to make occasional calls. Allow her to connect to your home Wi-Fi network once trust has been established so that she can utilize the web on her free time as well. However, be sure to communicate to her rules on using her phone when you are setting household rules and regulations. Let her know if you are uncomfortable with her using her phone while working, or if she should only be on the phone during her breaks and resting time.
