Today my heart broke a little bit. It was my little ones first day of preschool and I brought my helper along to assist me. When we were ready to leave, my little one kept bawling away and would not let go of my helper and kept saying "ateh, don't leave me" (ateh is big Sister). I told my baby, ok, mumma can take time off from work and spend with you and she replied, no I want ateh to stay and play with me. I feel jealous and hurt that my baby prefers The Maid to me. Am I being unreasonable? I feel like changing maids.

I could understand how you feel but on the positive side perhaps you should be happy that your helper is really nice to your LO. If not your LO would have dislike her and would not want her. It's not easy to find a good helper that can look after little one so I do not encourage you to change her. Just try to spent more time with you LO and you would definitely feel better.
