more specific qualifications
The most important and difficult qualification is that they are honest. Thievery will absolutely not be tolerated. Also, the wife is not a slave driver and can find it difficult to be really strong with someone. Because of this, my opinion is that someone who has a very strong personality would probably not work out long-term since the wife might feel like she was overriding her. In general, it might be that a Haitian lady would work out best assuming that she could at least communicate in Spanish. They need someone to work in their home home doing laundry/ironing and cleaning and perhaps some cooking. Age really is not important. If the lady is a good and willing learner, they could teach her most of what is required. They are a very sweet family(three girls and one boy) and I think they would treat a good empleada almost as part of the family. The hours are somewhat flexible, but five days a week from 8 to 5 or something like that is what they are thinking. She would need to arrive on her own (about KM 171/2) of the Duarte Hwy. Wages are negotiable. Although they don't have a great deal of money right now, they try very hard to be fair and reasonable.
