Leaving

I was just told by my helper that she's leaving next month. Seems like her mind really is made up and there's nothing we can do to make her stay. 

Her goal of working here has already been achieved: To pay up her loan, and she has paid up everything this month. 

I know that everyone is selfish in their own way.. But as a FDW, aren't you supposed to put away everything back at home and about yourself when you come to work in someone's family? Just because your loan has already been paid up doesn't give you a valid & acceptable reason in employers view to "go home".

It's just not fair. So you can just leave and leave us panicking cause we've got an elderly at home to care for. 

Then my question is.. Why work as a foreign domestic worker when you can work as something else that doesn't need such a long contract period? 

Singapore is all about bonds, contracts and compensations, isn't it? 

But what about the foreigners who breached them? Why do we have to be the ones scratching our heads and frantically search for a replacement within this 1 month before she waves goodbye with no strings attached?
