A transfer maid or a fresh maid? I am not in a hurry as my baby does not arrive for another two months. What do you recommend?

Either way always a gamble. Someone with experience will know the ways but will also have her own ways and may be more difficult to mould her to your method. Someone who is fresh will be easier to train to your standard but may require more patience to pick up the skills. When it comes to the baby I think I would prefer someone who is experienced in handling babies because it may not be easy to train when you're trying to recuperate. As for me I prefer experienced maids because I'm a more result oriented person. I don't really interfere with how my maid decides to do things as long as it gets done.
