If your maid has a natural love for children, she’ll most likely genuinely love your baby too. Unfortunately, this is not something you can tell when first hiring your helper and is something you will only be able to observe over time.
Make sure that you are in constant communication with your yaya and take note of the manner she speaks of your child. What tone of voice does she use? Is it gentle? Harsh? How does she describe your child?
How one speaks of another is very telling of their relationship. Nevertheless, remain wary as yaya’s may use flowery words to butter you up and then treat your child otherwise.
