Am I feeling pity or compassion? I'm confused. The 50+ year old nanny whom I hired to take care of my firstborn has just resigned a week ago. Before she left, I willingly gave her about 25% more than the salary we agreed upon. I also bought her some nice gifts for the lunar new year. I even told her to contact me if someday she need any (financial) help and not to tell anyone, including my wife. Until now, I'm still hoping she would contact me (not that I wish her to be in bad financial situation) because I really want to lighten her financial burden. So my two questions are:
1) am I feeling pity or compassion? I really really want to help her more as she told my wife she was (kind of) stressful of her financial condition.  Also, I think she had taken care of my baby so well.
2) is this an attachment?
Sorry for my lack of basic understanding of Buddhism. Thank you. Btw, I'm 34.

Thank you for your kind answers and I'm sorry for the edit.
If you want her to contact you, it's an attachment that is going to cause you suffering. An act of Metta(loving kindness) would be calling her once in a while and checking if she is doing well. Then if she needs help, you can help her.
