I remember in Belize the caretakers received expensive gifts from our US neighbors and we hated feeling like they expected us to give them stuff too.Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-63899946408745233432011-01-13T02:39:11.022+05:002011-01-13T02:39:11.022+05:00I don't have a maid, but I did have to hire on...I don't have a maid, but I did have to hire on a 'helper' for my mother when her Alzheimer's made it hard to take care of herself. At first, she seemed fine, but in a short while she was either in another room reading a book, or listening to music on her headphones, or talking to somebody on the phone. I dismissed her within a few weeks. The second was good. A sincere care-taker who pampered mom, was always doing her hair and nails. (Often at a ridiculous frequency, but mom obviously loved the attention.) They would sit and talk, even though mom often could not remember what she was talking about. It's all about the heart of the person. Some just want to watch the clock and pick up their check. Now and then, we find someone who really cares...who is a REAL caretaker! This second person got paid, and then some. And it was worth it.mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-89629352387639363112011-01-12T19:56:56.349+05:002011-01-12T19:56:56.349+05:00I know what you mean.
