Many families rely on foreign domestic helpers and it is crucial to smooth out strains that may happen during their stay with you. Most of the maids often undergo culture and living habits change. Adapting to the culture of your family could pose a bit of hassle in the beginning attempting to sit down with her and ask her perspective on the situation and suggesting how she can adjust could solve the issue to a great extent. More often maids refuse to open up which might be because she is afraid to lose your authority and you may accuse her of disrespecting.
