We recently terminated our helper because of child care issues, and I happened to see her new job post a few days ago claiming that she broke her contract for good reason. Just a warning to those of you considering hiring a break contract helper that maybe you should ask for a copy of the termination letter submitted to immigration when you hire a helper whose contract was terminated prematurely. She was our first helper in Hong Kong. She had very little work and we paid her well above market and treated her very well, only to be taken advantage of. So be cautious when you hire a break contract helper--some might indeed have been maltreated; others might be fabricating so that they can get a job with another gullible foreign family.
