Helper taking care of baby

Hi mummies, we hired a maid to help out on household and baby. I don't know about you.. but for me somehow I feel unsecured for helper to take care of my baby, like will my baby go to my helper instead of me when she grow up? Because sometimes she will be the one to feed/change diapers/bath/play. I tried to spend more time with baby because I am so afraid that baby will choose helper instead of me next time. Is this normal? How do you mummies deal with this? #firstbaby #1stimemom #advicepls

my helper has been looking after my lo since she was 4 months old. (now she's 10 months). I initially do have the fear as well. so I insist on taking care of her at night once my helper is done for the day. so that 1) I could still be there for my daughter when she's insecure at night 2) my helper can take a good rest. though I'm not too sure if this will still work in the long run due to work but over time I believe our child will still know for sure who are her parents!
