    Rita, do not worry. These type of professional helpers are not educated or qualified medical nurses. Most of them are with basic knowledge how to take care of elderly suffering with minor ailments. They have a syndicate and are supplied by Agencies . I remember an incident which happened in my fly. She used to take kitchen accessories and spoons, detergents. Finally we got some doubts and started keeping watch. One day I caught her rend handed and surprised to see three passbooks of different Banks where she was having almost 1 Lac rupee altogether. That helper I got from maids recruitment office. Please, if any one wants a maid exercise full care.

    Sheer negligence. valuable ornaments or documents must have be kept secured in the cabinet locker and the locker key need to be kept in person in a small purse. coincidently Rs. 15 Lacs figure is often coming across in few incidents which have taken place in recent times.🤔
