No doubt, housemaids are indispensable to the functionality of some homes. From helping with house chores to taking care of the kids and keeping the house in neat and orderly fashion, they are a blessing to couples married to their professions.

02. When your housemaid is suddenly careless about what she wears; if she suddenly starts deciding to wear skimpy or seductive dresses especially when Oga Sir or any of your grown sons are around, it's time to send her packing.
03. When your kids find it reluctant to talk to you a out their day in her presence; when she makes extra effort that you are not "disturbed" by keeping them away from you, something bad is in the offing.
