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?

My helper is fasting. No issues. I think we should respect their religion and let them fast. If You feel her energy has declined you can speak to her about it. She's probably been doing it for years and would know how to handle work and her religious practices
