Yea...Let's talk about "House helps".
1 Timothy 5:18 "For the scripture said, You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward"
There's nothing wrong with having a house help (Or maid as they are called here in the US) if:
1 The person is old enough to work (Not those under-aged kids brought from wherever)
2 You are paying him/her what obtains as fair in your part of the world...
3 You are paying the worker and not some agent or the parents (Nigerian People will understand this)
4 You are treating the person like a human being (I have seen house helps sleeping under the stairs, bathing outside in the open, eating food different from what the other members of the house eat, bathing with detergent and wearing rags)
5 You are not "destroying" his/her future (I have seen people that send their house helps to school or to learn some kind of craft so that they can also have a better future)
(Read 1 Samuel 30...the Egyptian slave betrayed his master because the master ABANDONED him)
REMEMBER
Your house help takes care of your children and therefore has access to them
Your house help has access to almost every part of your house
Your house help can be an agent of the evil ones, if they treat him/her better than you do
Your house help is included in the "Love everyone" message we preach as children of God
Some people might just miss heaven because they got a house help...
