Hello everybody,
I am planning to stay in Ghana for 3 to 5 months starting from november or december this year. The company I work for is sending me to Ghana. They provide a place for me to stay.
I will stay in Accra. Now, since I will be alone in the house that my company provides me and I will be very busy, i am looking for a housekeeper/maid to stay at the house full time and take care of washing and cooking.
I have a friend who just got back from Ghana. She stayed there with her husband and 2 kids.
She recommnded a maid. Its a girl who is not from Accra. She moved to their house because her Village was a 4 hour ride to Accra so she stayed in their house full time for 2 months.
She told me how great the girl is. Now the problem is that girl is just 16. I was kind of shocked. I am travelling alone as a Single man.
She says it is not a problem as it is common there for girls to be maids. But it seems strange to me that I will live in a house with a 16 yr old girl. At the same time they talk so great about her skills I would like to hire her and pay her very well to help her out too.
What should I do? What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance
