Does anyone have maids who leave the house without telling you? Like to just Jalan Jalan?

no, none of my helps till date has ever done that. while there are no rules as such, certain things are made very clear right from the start. i may be working at home and if my help leaves the house without telling me, it can be a potential threat to my kids' safety, as i will feel they are being taken care and are with her, while in reality they may be left on their own. also, while she is at my place, she is under my responsibility, so i have to know where she is at all times.
