I have been blessed to have had one housekeep/childminder for 24 years until she passed. My son gave the eulogy at her funeral in fluent Shona, her language that she taught him from birth. She was a single mother of three, my go-to person, and an extra grandparent to my children. I never had to instruct her on cleaning my home, never missed any of my possessions, and trusted her more than my relatives to care for my children. I too was a single parent but she made it so much easier. It has been 10 years since we lost her but we still miss her so much even though my children are adults with children of their own.

[@kawiramuema3186]

I think if you honestly feel that you must check the bag upon departure (like if it was a case of theft or impropriety), do it as they are packing, it's less invasive. Also and this is just me, when I can, I always take her to the nearest matatu stage, like if you live far from the road, it's fair and to avoid the drama/gossip outside with other house helps or watchmen who she may have known during her stay.

Great content Sue. There is however reasons that would force one to check a helps bag imo. If the reason for firing her is theft.

[@joankingori9684]

I have learnt to check their bags on arrival and departure. Their's this one who had a knife in her bag. Another with more than 10 phones in the bag, kumbe she used to steal in every house she worked. Another one had ARVs..... It's not like I discriminate HIV positive people but having small kids I wasn't comfortable. Plus I don't have money to replace everything they steal. So I will always check. That's me

That Last tip is hard for me.The Last one I releasd ,I had just learned that she taking alcohol in my own house . Together with other househelp in the neighborhood.This is not even the reason I fired her.She took my child for vaccination without even telling me just because the neighbors did so(The one they do door to door) Yeah in this Nairobi where you can't even be sure they are genuine or not . when I asked her about it she denied and denied and even threatened to leave at night.We talked sense in her and she promised to change and even stay.But the following day after consulting her 'committee' she told me she want to leave ,she even said she is not feeling well.I later learned she stayed at my next door neighbor for a whole weekend coz my neighbor had travelled and left the househelp with kids.Sasa Hawa ndio suzzy unasema tupigie ujue kama alifika.Akudanganye akiwa next door?.She is a grown up.Whatever your destination is .May the Lord guide you .Good bye.

[@joymutuku3808]

[@jubinalove9773]

I think it is very important to check the bags, for me not necessarily because of the theft, i don't care what she takes if she is stealing it, some house helps carry cloth, photos, combs for witchcraft, so why not check just to be conscious. Better to be safe than sorry. Besides the checking can be done respectfully. I usually check them when they come and as such check them when they are leaving too.

[@mytulipliving]

It's number 5, for me😐. Mistreating and abusing children?! On the spot. It tends to escalate and could get to dangerous levels. The other things on this list can generally wait for end month, when I'm ready with the pay and gratuity.

What! mine was eating tobacco and spitting at some corner in the sitting room. My baby was 2 months, so I could not imagine leaving her with him. Mother in law thought i was being fussy saying i cannot live with her i guess cos she brought her. I fired her after one month. Then another one had to go because she would leave my kids at night and go to sleep with the neigbors shamba boy while i was on work trip. oh yes, my friend was given a slap by the househelp when she fired her. then she refused to go. she had to call her mum and hubby to kick her out. i never check their bags for the 20 years I have employed them. most are not thieves,
