        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.

          But aren't you worry to let her stay on since she already have the thought of transferring?
          Don't know whether she will still do her job well..Really having maid is a pain but can't live without one now... :slapshead:

            She treats my home as her beauty salon eg paint nails, dye hair.


            I had no objections if done on off days. i am ok w her painting nails during free time but she purposely defy My instructions to her.

              Hi vinegar, can share what the name of the shop is? :please:

              Thought to google it up first before going down to see if it's worth the trip.

              Thanks in advance.

                My fist Philip maid was quite good but after loan finish and having off days for 6 months, everything slowly change. I caught her drinking beer in my house while taking care of my 2 years old. Feed my gal fish cake that has turn rancid and use the cane to threat my if she doesn’t eat. After 10 years of hiring maids, would I still hire Philip maid? My answer is a Big No!


                Although Indonesian maid is not that great either but in general I have less prob with them and usually the problem can be resolved by sending them back home. For Philip maid, you will hear insults from them before u send them back.

                  Definitely agree Fili maids are NO-NO. High ego, demanding, bad attitude and rude.


                  I rather have a less intelligent one and have to train harder.

                    Personally I have only had Filipina maids and have been lucky enough not to experience any of these attitude problems so I don’t think we should tar them all with the same brush.


                    Yes they are more street savvy than the Indonesians in general but that doesn’t always have to be a negative thing.

                        It’s understandable that her attitude might shift after years of helping, especially with such a long commitment. Open communication might help address any issues and maintain a positive relationship.
