My domestic helper has been with me for almost 8 months. We have been constantly reminding her the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, more so since one of my kid has eczema. Yet it seems to fall on deaf ears as she just apologises every time we catch her lack of hygiene. She will "try" to be hygienic for the next time and after that goes back to her ways until we catch her again. This cat and mouse game is getting very tiring. Any suggestions on how to make her remember the importance of hygiene?

My helper used to be like that and it became v frustrating when the same msg gets repeated continuously and is personal hygiene. So I discussed with her and mutually, we agreed on deducting $10 if anyone of us caught her unhygienic like not washing her hands. This works and she auto wash her hands often.

Thanks for ur concern. It helped her to realise that her unhygiene ways will cause my children to be sick and she is more conscious in her hygiene now. I don't think is illegal but we have not deduct any money though haha
