A Ghanaian lady has narrated how she found out her house help had been living a double life, which she did not know about until months after the lady left.
Euphemia Ann-Marie Amoateng said she used to think her house help was very dedicated and respectful until she found out that the girl had been stealing from her.
In a Facebook video, Euphemia said her family lived in Accra, but she worked in Cape Coast, hence she came home only on weekends. However, she realised Ama, her house help, took good care of her children, and there was no need for any suspicion.
She added that because of how Ama treated her children, she did everything in her power to ensure that her house help was ok. She bought her good clothes, new phones when the need arose, paid
her salary and SSNIT contributions promptly, among others.
“Ama was bereaved, and she told me she would for the funeral. Then she informed that she would not return after the funeral. She kept changing her date of departure. So I requested some leave days from work and came home unannounced. The next day, I told her to bathe and prepare to leave that day because her inconsistent dates were not favourable to me.”
According to Euphemia, her house help left in September 2024. In April 2025, she decided to organise a birthday party and intended to use a washroom outside the main house. However, they could not find the key to the washroom and had to cut the padlock.
“My new nanny decided to clean the place and later called me to come see the huge bags there with several items. From food, to clothes for me and the children, cutlery, utensils, my bras, my jewellery.”
Euphemia was amazed that Ama took all these things from her, considering how she had treated her when she worked for her as a house help.
In another video, Euphemia got Ama’s friend to call her, and she questioned her. However, Ama could not give her any concrete explanation for the allegations levelled against her.
