My elder daughter is going to be 3 year old n the younger one is a newborn baby. Luckily, my 40-year-old indonesian maid is quite capable n resourceful so she can manage them together with the housework well. And my mammy n mother-in-law will come to my home occasionally (but not so often , around twice a week in total)
My case: one maid is enough. No need to hire another one.
Your helper does the cooking too? The pick up is another concern for me, may be she can carry the younger one to pick her up? The school bus basically drops the older one at my lobby. Really do not want to have so many people around the house...
You Are right !! My case is, my maid suggested me to hire one more maid to help her out! Or else, she may resign!
It really depends if your maid would like to take care of two and if your kids are easy to handle .......
Some bottle neck time like bottle feeding, cooking are difficult to handle . I finally hired my relative to help me to cook at the evening time. My neighbor with similar case with me, and hire one local ee to come and take care of the baby at evening ( bathing, cooking ) and now baby is three year old . You may consider but it\'s not easy to hire one local ee who is willing to stay until 7 something.
And be honest , you can try out if yourself can handle two during days without maid. To me, I can but its really very very busy and tired and can\'t do much house work and can only cook very simple dishes.
Same case for me 大仔升k1, 細仔快滿月。我唔想要兩個工人，想請local ee ，始終一個睇兩個我唔放心。我阿媽話會來幫手，但我覺得好難叫佢誠諾日日都定時來。佢成日話同襯家(我奶奶）輪流來，但我對我奶奶更加無信心，佢到依家都未抱過細b, 話佢軟𥐙𥐙喎，都唔知佢以前點湊仔，成日叫我大仔睇電視，叫佢話自己乜都知，唔係就考第尾，唔知乜logic
Money is not the key concern. I have heard so many cases of more problems after having two helpers, argue, one shift work to others,etc. Also i want to avoid having too many strangers at home. After all, it s just a family of 4.

My maid also said that she had heard some cases of argument or fighting. You can ask your maid if she got any relatives ( sisters ) would like to work in hk. With two maids, you can spend quality time with them. Especially during weekends. Sometimes there are school activities at weekends, you and you husband at join.
Since my maid doesn\'t have sisters and don\'t have relatives need to work, finally I turned to hire local ee. You can try to look for one by posting in labour department . Usually candidates are living around your area. The chance of getting a suitable one (allow greater flexibility) is higher.
