Thinking of sending back our Filipino Helper but contract not finish yet

Hi parents! Just wondering if anyone here knows whether can send a helper back home without finishing her contract? we hired her under agency but since I have stopped working for the meantime and baby big enough to send to preschool, we wouldn’t need her around anymore. And have thought can save the money spend for a maid’s salary instead. Does anyone here had the same experience? Do i need to pay the agency some penalty fees whatever for not finishing the contract? I don’t want to ask the agent that helped us hire her coz I dont want her to contact and ask our helper if anything’s wrong. I will contact them once we’ve decided that we will end her contract, but for now just want to have some ideas . Also want to know whether maids that terminated before their contract will be sent back home or will stay at the agency’s staff house until their supposedly 2 years contract here is finished? #domestichelper #helperagency #advicepls #helper
