What would work best for a Filipino family, a stay-in maid or a house keeper that comes and goes?

Filipino families usually prefer a stay-in maid because of the workload. But if there's just less workload, you can just get a stay-out maid which costs cheaper than the stay-in. For me I have a stay-in maid to take care of my baby, and a stay-out maid who does the washing and ironing of clothes. :)

It actually depends on your set-up. If your family consists of working individuals, usually it is best to have an on-call house keeper. But is you still have babies or children, it would be helpful if you have a stay-in kasambahay to assist you with the chores while you focus on the kids.
