My helper wants to fast

My helper is from indonesia and today she asked if she can start fasting tomorrow. Her agreement with her agency was that she would not fast while working here. Her main duties are housework, laundry and cooking. i am concerned that she would not be able to take it. She is my first helper. Anyone here have domestic helpers who are fasting? or not fasting? Any advice?

I think they would really appreciate it if you respect their decision to fast. They are used to fasting so they should be able to take it while working. They would still eat before and after when they break fast daily, so I don’t see it as a big issue :) Discuss and be open with your helper and see what she feels and think :)
