Recently, a friend visited me and was surprised by how well I treat my house help. My house girl Mwende, has been with me nearly three years, which is a rare occurrence nowadays. One of the reasons why she has lasted is partly because she is a good girl coupled with the fact that I treat her fairly well. What do I mean by fairly well?
I never shout at her, she eats the food we eat, sleeps in a fairly comfortable bed in the childrens’ room. I shop for her every month and she is entitled to off days. I also plan to take her for a tailoring course. Occasionally, she accompanies us when we go out for treats like lunches and birthday parties.
