Sorry to be cynical but we have treated our previous helpers relatively well, give angbao during CNY and give allowance around $5 a meal to da Bao food, not demanding they cook simple meal for themselves when they only need to settle their own meal.. but none bother to show appreciation. Both my helper stay only 1 year, making me incur excess fees of at least over $2.5K in hiring new maid.. give maid too much freedom in terms of letting them use HP, they tend to abuse... sigh... so my advice is don't really bother. Just treat her normally. They tend to leave after one year anyway. If you give her extra incentives, hoping she will appreciate and stay the whole contract or do a better job, then u may be in for a disappointment ya.. anyway just prepare yourself for that and don't expect anything if you want to give extra things.
