Maid or nursery?

Do you have any idea that this question sometimes can be very hard to decide? Yezz, well I tell you even though Isaac is more than a year with our next block nanny but I admit, sometimes I still think whether to get ourself a maid. Maid can be very helpful at times you are busy with work, cooking and attending the kids but mind you there are some maids, yang banyak alasan mau cuti adding extra works and headaches to you. I wouldn't mind payingRM400 a month for a good maid. How would you define a 'good maid'? I would take if they are honest, knows how to clean the house and do the washing. And of course a basic knowledge taking care kids. I still prefer doing the cooking hahaha...hubby loves my cooking ceh... I've been 2 times unlucky with maids.

So, what about nursery/nanny? Isaac seems ease enough with his Mrs. Wong for almost 1 year 4 months to be exact. Mrs. Wong has been taking care of children age range from newborn to about 5 years. She has about 5 toddlers and a new born baby at home. I guess she must have been doing this bizness for a long time looking on how well she cope with them. Of course with a maid to help her with the chores. I'm paying quite a sum considering sending Isaac only for 5 days a week. An extra charge if you decide to send on saturday...it means you will have to spend more $$. I appreciate if you can share your experience or advice on this.
