      the Bangladesh or india man will run away if she approaches them.


      her perfume smell like Baygon
      That's so funny!!! :rotflmao:

      My ex maid was with me almost 6 years. I actually didn't want to be so mean to send her off like that, but she stared & shouted at me. Worst is she pushed me just to get her work permit back. It all started because she forgot to close the freezer door & all my febm were thawed. She didn't tell me & freezed those ebm again. My few months of stocking up my bm all go down to the drain 😢 . I would have forgiven her if she admitted & apologize but......

            she only put perfume when she was out.


            i couldn’t stand the kind of smell( her sweat + perfume) if she put perfume at home.

            anyway,she knew it was no point putting perfume at home…only acts as natural insect repellent.

              last fri send maid (PH) back to agent. She use her ‘pretty’ black face said to me “thank you for treat me as human’’. I felt so angry the way she said sound insult me. She 6am wake up after 8.30pm want to sleep if not black face, we will bring her along when we go holiday, She only wash cloth, sweep & mop floor, change bed sheet, wash plate, send & fetch children. We need to ask her to work than she work if not she will start from 1pm sit on the chair till abt 4.30pm read newspaper or look at her finger & toes. Base on contract she only entitle 1 day off but I give 4 days. She only with me for 7mth. Worst maid I ever had.


              Stop employ maid from Philippine. They only come here for holiday.

                I really agreed Filipino maids do not come here to work, they treat it as holiday here. Mine also just does basic housework, shower my 3 dogs once a week, take care of my 2 yr old son at night (sleep in the same room) and that's all. My husband never even asked her to wash his car like what we see the other maids were doing ard our neighbourhood.
                That's why she got plenty of time on her laptop and surf net online and charging her laptop 24/7. Ever told her to off the switch if she's not using but everytime I checked, the switch is still on. Think she contributed part of the electrical bill hike...

                  I'm shocked to hear that she shouted and pushed you! Serve her right, send off.

                    [quote=\"Harlequin\"]Hi, Chameleon.


                    Just to share, I made known to all the maids I interviewed, her in house attire during service hours is uniform, unless she is going for marketing, retires in her room or on her off day. I think wearing uniform puts the maid in the right perspective... like many other employees in the service line, donning the uniform gives a person a sence of \"professionalism\".

                    Any maid hesitate when asked during the interview, I would give her a miss.

                    Just my personal view... hope this will work for you too.

                    Hi Harlequin,
                    Where did you get the uniforms from? Not a bad idea haha

                    I got mine from Holland Road Shopping Center, 2nd floor, quite a big shop selling mainly 民族服装 that kind of dresses, patronize mostly by ang moh expat... They have many choices, light fabric or heavy duty fabric, plain but with assortment of colors, blouse and pants set, loose fit, pants mid length with pockets.[/quote]Thanks will check it out 😄

                        I have no objections to my helper rebonding and dyeing her hair. However, I made it clear to her that it should be done on her off days after

                        I caught her doing it once at home.

                        She gets every Sunday off.

                        Came home unexpectedly and found hair dye splattered
                        All over the floor. She has dyed her hair again!! This time, dirtied the floor too!!!

                        She was unapologetic. And this is one week after asking for a transfer which I rejected.

                        She is a transfer queen. Am third employer over a 12 mth period.
