I'd like to understand how you handle a helper who has been losing your things. Mine has been losing kitchenware, my clothes and even our queen sized bedsheet. Been telling her to be careful, but it still happens. She's with us for more than 1 year. From my observation, I think either she's born to be careless, or she knows she lost them and she doesn't care until we (her employers) find out. Grateful for some guidance because I'm a first time employer, thanks!

Sorry how does she lose them? Like the laundry drop downstairs or accidentally throw away the kitchenware? I will be very vigilant to check if she stole these items if I were you. I have heard many cases of maid stealing things. They have a stash of such items somewhere

Well if u have seen her throw the things away accidentally she may really be forgetful. But I will be concerned to retain such a helper as one day she may throw something away. My friends secretly rummage their helper's things to check. Some install camera to track. I know it sounds mean but for the safety of the family ..
