i find all the confinement ladies are 'suckers'. They know they are in demand mah... but I find them over board too. When they come, we don;t even know if they are good or not, straight away they expect us to give them 'ang pao'. And if we have maids, worse still, theymade use of our maids. I...

For stay-in CL/nanny, you also need to consider their meals eg. breakfast, dinner, water bill, shampoo/toothpaste (which my cousin provide for his recent case), usage of detergent which they used to wash theirown clothing(cost is on us so somewill not save for you for the water and detergent...

I went for hair spa and Yun NAm it helps. For Yun Nam it was very expensive and after u sign the package the the person in charge who suppose to do the services for u, will always be busy and ask someone else to do for u (even though u have made advance bookings). And they like to hard sell, eg...

elaine01- Like I say, it is up to individual. An offer is made and if u accept it, then a deal is clinched. You even sent me a personal email to say u willing to pay $3k or more, then I believe from your perspective that is the fair value service $3k fee. I quote you an eg. that there are people...

Liqing now asking for 2.3k? wow, I am shock. Last year, when I called her, she is asking only $2.1k and on top, she wants to & fro angpow and to &fro taxi fare. Anyway, its demand and supply and offer and acceptance theories. If demand is more than supply and people are willing to pay, then we...

I give $1000. She stays with me from Mon to Fri to look after the kids and house. Once i leave for work each morning, the house belongs to her. I wish I can give more but I cannot afford. If I put in infant care, its about $1.6-1.7k....but for my mom, she covers everything...eg. make sure the...

Buy! I am currently using the Philips brand and never regret buying.

Sometime trust your own instinct since u are the parent. I came across doc who give my kid/ aged parent(s) unnecessary instructions. They base on what they see as of now and make the judegment. But we see our kids everyday and hr....we should know best. Of course, there are some doc are so...

$1.8k -$1.9k is reasonable. Some asked for more than $2k...which I think too expensive. Because if we have never use them before we may not know if they are good or bad and its all depend on words of mouth. I came across some who demand $2k and yet they cannot perform. I wanted to sack her but...
