Many parents prefer domestic helpers over daycare centres to mind kids


PETALING JAYA: Most parents would rather have maids than send their young children to daycare centres, as it is more convenient having a domestic helper.

Lawyer Andy Goh chose to have a maid to look after his two children while he and his wife Sharon, a bank manager, went to work because it was a hassle to have to comply with daycare centres’ drop-off and pick-up times.
