Totally agree! Be it Indo, Filipinos or Burmese, pretty much depends on your requirements i.e. take care of infants, elderly, must be able to cook, speaks mandarin etc etc. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY..... LUCK! Sometimes getting a good maid also depends on the employer. I noticed whenever i begin...
The key thing is to be patient with the new maid since she is new to you, your culture, your environment. But make sure you don't pamper her (i pampered my first maid and I regretted totally)... give her what's needed i.e. (1) proper meals (whatever your family eat, she eats, she cannot be...
Hi styleinn09, i can feel your frustration. Even more frustrating when the agent don't answer your call. I heard from couple of my friends who went to Katong and get maids from those zero agent fee agency, all got similar problem. I wonder if it is the agent who teach them to create problems to...
I think hiring a part-time maid Mon-Fri full day is gonna cost you alot.... so much more than hiring a full time maid. You should consider hiring a full time... just my 2 cents worth!
That's really sounded frustrating!! Suggest talking to the maid and see how to work things out. They are here to earn money so if they don't do a good job and gets transferred to another employer, as I understand from my agent, they will be charged 1-2 months of fee... Then they will end up...
I transferred my maid years back but I dun remember receiving IPA. What is do received is from MOM on when my levy stops and when my maid officially transferred.
Since you have done so many things, any findings to prove your hubby having an affair? If no, then you might be over reacting. And when you over-react, you begin to strain your relationship with your hubby without knowing it.... your attitude towards him might change.
Hello rain drop, you can try calling my agent - Sherly (82227346) from Eelit Placement Agency. My siblings and myself got our maids from her. Current maid with me for almost 6 months, occasionally when i called her to help address certain issues with my maid, she still respond. Referred her to...
I am not sure of the reasons behind why you aren't in good terms with your in-laws but personally I would think it is better to invite your in-laws else more problems will follow after that... they will have alot more to talk about and relationship with certainly take another wrong turn. Just my...
Well, we will or might become someone'e MIL some days, we might behave likewise...or maybe not. Anyway, as long as the baby is in no form of danger, then let's just give and take :) I also faced with similar problems when my twins came on board. I changed 4 maids becos of my MIL within 18...
I suppose the best is still personal experience and sometimes with a little bit of luck. My ex-agent also got many testimonials, but turn out very poor service. Anyway, all the best to your new hiring! :)
My recommendation is Eelit Placement Agency. The agent who served me is Sherly. I find her to be very trustworthy and she provided very good service. Both my brothers also hired their maids thru her. Recommended to a few of my friends and they are all happy with her service also. :)
Hello... hope you overcome your problems oredi. Anyway, here's how i handle my maid:
1) food - I will let her know what can be eaten and wat cannot. If he is a big eater, you may want to consider scooping out a portion for her. Like you kaya case, I have a separate container for my maid. So she...
Hello, hope you already found your maid... anyway, if you are still keen, can consider my agent - sherly (82227346). Both my brother also hired their maids thru her. Recommended to a few of my friends and they are all happy with her service also. Good luck! :)
I installed CCTV cam at my home... just avoid privacy areas like toilet and room where your maid sleeps. MOM prohibit employer from installing CCTV in room. Apart from monitoring my maid, I can also see what my kids are doing! :)
