Maid off day

Hi can I get some advice on what are the dos and donts of maid off day. My maid has agreed to the timing of 10am-8pm on her off day and also agreed to do some light duties minimally to wash the dishes before she leaves and come back. Today, she “changed her mind” and send me a text that I need to pay her if I expect her to work on her off day, after I asked her to wash the dishes on her off day. Who is right or wrong? What to do to reconcile and make my maid happy as I have 2 kids under 2 and I don’t want her to take it out on my Kids? #Firsttimemaidemployer

Agree with what other mummies has said. During their off days, the wouldn’t be doing any work. It’s like I won’t be gg to the office or replying emails on weekends. Have a nice chat with her. My helper who has been with us for 6 years is very open about things like this. She volunteers to wash clothes in the morning before heading out for her off days. Sometimes she feels bad for leaving the clothes unwashed! We have to “chase” her out and asked her to enjoy her off day. Of course all of these happened because we have a strong bond together already.
