“Here’s some advice.”

Zimasa mentioned that no matter how laid back and loving the family one works for, you should never try to be one of them, you should always find a way to snap back into the reality that you’re at work:

“If the family you work for is in the middle of an argument, do not be the middleman. Families always fight, but they will also make up an if you were the middleman, you will look like an instigator. 
“If the children of the house you’re working for wake up late because they overslept, do not be a part of that because you are at work and you might lose your job. Get to a house and finish up with your daily chores that have been assigned to you.”

Zimasa also advised domestic workers to avoid sensitive conversations that could potentially cause conflict.

“Your advice is really good. Is it okay for a house helper to take a leave every school holiday? Easter, June, September and December?”
