Temp Amah is here

Her name is Kasinah. We came to know her from my bro. They recommended her to us since we are so lost without Amah hehehe. Not exactly! More to accompany my girl at home when we are away working. Pity her so much when she has to stay home on her own.
We picked Kasinah at Bandar Multipurpose Parking. She wanted us to pick us up at her house in Kota Batu at first, but that is so unfamiliar territory and asked her to pick some other place instead. She was with her husband, found out later her husband works as a contruction worker and she is a "freelance" Amah. Very glamorous. Even Amah is freelance ;-) She asked for B$20 per day since she lives with us and we are desperate and has to agree. Its very very expensive. More so she doesnt have to do much in our household. So we will see how it goes, we may not keep her all month long maybe occasionally.
She starts work today, on her own while we are off working. So far she is ok, very humble and respectful. She also wears tudong even in the house. I am ok with that, of course we are all not her muhrim so I guess she just wants to covers up.
Its more a necessity than luxury all of this Amah stuff. Wish we dont have to have one but the situation is just crazy not to have one at the moment. I was ok with the housework for the last few days. Although its tiring but I can keep the momentum and in control. And its good feeling not to have a stranger in the house. Its just me, hubby and Ayang, my little family and we did enjoy the time. I think my girl loves it too, she is more independent and take care of the house. Its lovely. Anyway, its part of the everyday life and having an Amah is part of the deal.
