Not sure if you found a solution, but some Kennedy Town apartment buildings have a storage room for every unit, and many domestic helpers stay in those. Have you looked at Lexington Hill and Belchers Hill on Rock Hill Street? Those buildings have storage rooma that are often converted into helper quaters. Some helpers also sleep in the same room as the baby|toddler of the family.
So I took the plunge on a place without a helper or storage room. Our oldest is 7 and all 3 sleep in the same room. If we get a helper she will need to sleep in the living room i guess. Not sure if that is acceptable from an immigration standpoint though? Anyone care to comment?
Think lots of local families also have helpers stay in public spaces (like living room or kitchen) and just partition off an area solely for the helper's use, like using those handy Ikea screens or curtains that go from floor to ceiling. FDH guide (Read More) just says helper has to have reasonable privacy, so you do have some discretion...
