Encourage her. That's how Bill Gates started computing.

@OP Hmmm how many househelps have you had over the past 3 years? (Think about this for a moment). Even if she was part of the yaba left club, I get a strange feeling that she may have felt mistreated. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but please consider any form of maltreatment that you may have cast upon the poor soul. Maybe those keys on your new expensive computer was her 'pound of flesh'.

@ifyalways: when I asked her, she said “abeg no vex, I bin tink say d people make mistake”.

My annoyance with her was why she even touched it at all.

As for maltreatment and revenge? If she was being maltreated in my house, u think she would be bold enough to so much as cough? She is very destructive.

Like someone said,post the picture of your damaged laptop. We are not asking for your face,just the pix of your laptop and the spoilt keys.
Very hard to believe

This story is so false.Op why dont u snap and show us how damaged the Laptop is.This section is becoming a joke

Whoaaaaa. I believe ur story cos i had a 15yrs old nanny that threw my N80k human hair away after first use. all i could do was CRY. as in i cried. but i had to send her away after she left my gas cooker on with my child at home and didn't even smell a thing. with time i realize that to have a good house help you have to treat em like family and be kind enough that they feel comfortable to talk to you. not fear u.

As for this your nanny i think you should send her away cos wat she did is scary.she didnt even stop to think for once that she might be doing something wrong.

lucabraski: I bought a brand new laptop and brought it home. I came back from work and found most of the letters on the keyboard on top the table.

I couldn't understand what or how it happened. On questioning my 7yrs old daughter, she said the househelp used knife to uproot the letters on the keyboard, as according to her, the letters were not arranged alphabetically. In the process of her uprooting the keys, many of the sitting were broken.

The laptop cost me 160k, which I am yet to payoff.

I had to leave the house for some hours to calm my temper down before I know what to do.

I am yet to come up with a befitting punishment.

This is a JOKE right?

15 year old nanny?

its just a matter of you asking her that if she wants to arrange something again in the house she must check with you first. make it clear that her job is to tiddy up but if she wants to go an extra mile she must check with you first and you must never just ignore her or brush her off if she wants to talk to you about arranging anything in the house as history has proven that she someone who likes to go an extra mile , initiative and wants to impress you. do not be hard on her,its an honest mistake

In addition to all that has been said, buy a new keypad for the lappy and take it to the sales point for warranty use. It doesn't cost more than 10k to buy and fix. The money can be recovered from the girl's salary over time like 20% every month.

Then take time and talk to her. Explain why she should not be doing such things and explain to her the consequences of her action. Clearly spell out to her that she should not touch stuff she doesn't understand.

chaircover: So why do you still keep her?

. . . .slapping her will not solve the problem. Pay her off and ask her to leave.

I Totally agree with that suggestion,before she destroys more than a laptop.

Away from your destroyed laptop. Don't you think leaving your daughter with such a person is totally crazy? This makes you look rather stupid and your story almost unbelievable.

Now, she has spoilt my expensive blender.

In attempting to wash it, she soaked both the blender and d engine in water. The worst thing she has done so far, is wearing my daughters pant.

I have since sent for d agent, but he has failed to show.

I am kicking her out tomoro, with or without him.

Kicking her out?
Do ensure that she is safe wherever you are leaving her in, is it not better to let whoever brought her take her away if you don't want to live with her again? Which person reared that young girl and never taught her that a girl mustn't go wearing another person's panties/underwear---she oversteps boundaries a bit with handling things and needs guidance like people have told you here. Poor darling! It could be that she hasn't worn very nice looking pants like your daughter has and when she saw them couldn't resist wearing one. Do have your wife buy her some biko.

You and your wife seems not to be the maltreating-employer type (with the way she is taking things without minding that "madam or Oga will deal with me if I wear their daughter's pant" ) which is good as it isn't good to maltreat maids, a new employee/hands of that age that is new in your house needs a firm yet gentle coaching/plenty guidance. Whoever asked her to blend should have remembered to explain how to wash it etc.You guys should make out time to sit her down and say "Girl this is how to do these" and checks should be made on her when she is given a new task to do that is if you are giving her another chance.

That is the absolute right decision. She needs to go. She is incapable of thinking like an adult and like Maclatunji alluded to, it is not safe to leave your child alone in her care. Are you going to wait for her to drown your child in water because she is trying to soak off stuck chewing gum from her hair? Or for her to cut off your child's finger to help cure the rash that was on it? The same principle she applied when she picked apart your laptop in the name of helping without any inhibition is what she will apply to deal with an issue with your child one day. She is dangerous unsupervised. Send her away asap!

she might put your daughter in a washing machine to bathe her

dayokanu: she might put your daughter in a washing machine to bathe her

Exactly.

Wait, why are you people using house help? Holy Mary nne Jesus Christ!!

Abeg, abeg, abeg. That ship has sailed.

Well if this story is true (I have my doubts) then let her work it off, assuming you pay her an income, let her work it off and when she is done she leaves. That is how it is done between employer- Employee, except you keep her there and "feed" her without a defined income.
Dont dare slap a 22 year old, keep it professional.
I always tell people if you want a good maid, define the job description, define the working hours, not dusk to dawn, Pay a fare wage and give benefits. They provide a service you cannot, they are not the scum of the earth.

whao,i love your comment,it shows godliness and maturity and the type of boss pple will want to work with if u can act what u posted

How sure are you that your housemaid was the one that actually did that to your computer? Please try and verify first before taking any action.

BTW, this your story sounds too funny to be true.
