Maid maze

This one week, Ash and Mira have had trouble remembering the names of the nannies and would-be nannies expressing an interest in looking after them.
On Monday, we had old faithful Kala's sister-in-law Kalaivani reporting to work in the evening. Since she was supposed to join duty in the morning and did not make her appearance until 11 am, I had to take leave. Some communication gap. I advised the kids to call her Vani-amma since we already had a Kala-amma. She was soft and sweet with the kids, and made us a dinner of rotis and broccoli. The next day, a full day from 9-7 pm with only a short lunch break at her home, was probably taxing for her and she didnt appear the day after. Her husband informed me that her mother had taken ill and she would return to work on Saturday. Today he told she would return only on Monday, and we could look for a substitute.
So on Wednesday and Thursday, Kala took responsibility for her truant sil and helped us out in the evening hours after school. Since the kids have school from 2-4.30 p.m. this month, me and V kept them company in turns (me till noon and V after that) until they left.
Meanwhile Kala made frantic efforts to find us a new maid. Yesterday she brought an old lady, who said she was coming to work for the first time and offered to sit from 4-7 pm. She plonked herself on the sofa and seemed unable to stand for long or manage two small kids.
And in the night, she brought another candidate whom Vinod said seemed ok. Today morning, she came for an audience with me, and I put her straight to work thinking V had already spoken about the terms. I told Ash, who was already up, that he call her Chandra-amma.
She was a thin wiry woman, who looked fit but spoke like a taperecorder. After the self-promotion, she requested that I give her a loan of Rs. 2000 so that she could urgently pay off somebody blah blah. I told her that she will have to discuss that with V, who anyway has an aversion to giving loans. He promptly declined, but offered to give her daily wages if she need the money. She said in that case she will have to arrange the loan at the earliest from some other source and would return before noon. She did not return!
We need to find someone at the earliest to manage the kids till schools close on the 7th. I hope to take them to Chandanapally for the summer vacation. But would they remain there the whole two months, I am not sure.
