You know, if there could be more things I could be blessed with, I really do not know what they could be. Having an easy baby? Having the fittest body and looking absolutely gorgeous after pregnancy? Not having to worry about money? I’m not even wishing…..
The helper has been great, and despite everyone telling me that I really can’t make a review so soon (which is very true), so far, she’s been great. She is well-mannered, clever, is good with children, is very clean, knows the basics of cooking, and is hard-working (so far).
I have given her a schedule from 630am to 9pm with an hour break after lunch to nap or rest, and then smaller breaks during meal times and tea time. She effectively cleans for 4-5 hours every day, cooks for 3 hours and uses the remaining time to do other stuff like laundry, playing with Tee, organising cupboards, or some heavy duty stuff (like cleaning the ceiling fans and lights). We also got her an alarm clock radio which I think she was happy with because she loves music.
Apart from that, I have also given her a list of HOUSE RULES and the frequency that household chores need to be completed plus a list of recipes that she needs to learn. I have given her a notebook to write all the recipes down and whatever else she needs to jot for learning purposes. Thankfully, she is also a fast learner. Seriously, I can’t think of any complaint! Yet. She is very obedient and compliant, no attitude, what more can I ask for?!
Her only request so far is she asked if she could call her daughter on her birthday and to deduct the bill from her salary. We agreed. Fingers crossed that all goes well from here.
The other day, when she saw me carrying something, she immediately came to help. Tee bullies her though and doesn’t allow her to feed her, bathe her nor tie her hair. She is so spoilt, she only wants Mommy to do it. But she will accept her as a play-mate or a story reader when she is desperate. However, when I am just not feeling up to it, then I tell Tee she has absolutely NO CHOICE. I shall keep praying that all goes smoothly and that we can keep her for 4 years which is her plan to save up money for her daughter’s college fees.
Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.

So happy for you! Normally Filipino maids r good. I too am so blessed to have our Kakak Dedeh for the past 6 yrs as my helper ( we do the household chores together as I cant imagine one person managing the whole household), gossip partner & friend. Today I’ve given her leave (she’s going with my neighbour’s maid) & she will return tomorrow evening after staying with her relative in KL. For the past 2 yrs I give her leave once a month.
