All About Full-Time Maids
-
when my younger daughter was a baby, hygiene is first priority.
her face towel and bath towels cannot mix with other cloths.
I can close my eyes when maids break a plate or whatever, but I will not compromise on kids’ safety.
my house wasn’t perfectly clean then, but that’s ok. but don’t let me catch her mixing face towel with floor rug. -
My myanmar maidl of 1.5 month ( then kicked out) called my filipina maid to complain about new employer being vegetarian! Saying always eating porridge and vege only... Enquirer how my baby is! Lol
I have 2 maid as I have health issue now and hubby so busy can not help at all, myanmar was nanny and Fillippina maid ( worked in korean restaurant before) does cooking and house chores.
Fillippina is quite soft and did most work myanmar maid was suppose to do, ie wash baby, cook baby food.
Now Myanmar maid stuck going hungry with porridge everyday!

Aiyo ! Think the Myanmar maid better work in Myanmar sicnr she prefers walking around no shoes and kids dirty . If we are fine with these , did she ever think why we need maid ? -
Myanmar maids, if they don’t want to learn English, it is impossible to communicate with them. I am so glad the days of having a maid is over…my hair just stands when I recall my ex maids.

I wish I can get rid of maids… Only put up because baby is still little.
I didn’t need maid with 2 older ones, did all myself before.
Only now need 2…having last baby seriously damaged my body…
@ panicky mum, yes. I told my Filippina maid we are paying high salary so need to look after baby well, who will pay to keep kids and house in filthy state.
I have seen maids use a kitchen towel to wipe their hands and dry dishes with a same cloth! I worry salmonella and other nasties so I get maid to use diluted Dettol to wipe and wash knives/chopping board after cutting chicken/pork.
Now asked to soak kitchen towel in dettol and hand wash it as raw blood or germs get on it when they wipe their hands in between.
Sound serious but I don’t like running to toilet every minute because of food poisoning.lol -
With maids, you have to do right things and no short cuts…or they will follow. When my daughter was a baby, I made sure she bathed before she carried her and washed her hands before feeding or touching her bottle.
Food handling is very important. When they screw up, we will have food poisoning. I always told my maids not to waste water because it is very expensive here in Singapore. -

I applaud you. I also prefer to send maid home than to agency. I refuse to let them bend me to their will by refusing to listen to instructions, spoil my things, say stupid things like can’t cook after cooking for 3 weeks.
They do all this on purpose to force us to transfer them…the whole world is helping them including our MOM. They can transfer unlimited times…employer has to attend interview and class or black mark if change more than a few maids???
All we want is a maid that will follow instructions, so that we can trust them to take care of our household…who wants to keep changing maids??? But these maids come in with a mentality of doing their worst until they find an employer that would bend to their will and accept the least…of course maid standard drop and drop…
If we are willing to accept such low standards and bad maids and just transfer them, why should they work any harder to please us and keep their job? Loads of bad maids just aim to come to Singapore…why would they go else where, where more is expected of them??? -
Totally agree with st2. Salary has doubled but work attitude and skill are still the same as before. After they have finished their loans, just send them back. There is no point passing a bad maid to another house. Why owners transfer 3x in a year get ‘black listed’ but maid can have unlimited transfer?

the idiotic methods maids adopt to force employers to return to the agency are countless. honestly MOM should stand on the side of singaporeans. these maids come to Singapore to try out different employers and job scope until they find one they prefer...the best would be working for angmohs...lots of freedom, easy to cook dishes and no need to be very clean.They do all this on purpose to force us to transfer them.....the whole world is helping them including our MOM. They can transfer unlimited times....employer has to attend interview and class or black mark if change more than a few maids?????

I agree with you..if the maid attitude and behavior sucks, why let her go to another family and destroy other people's home? I wouldn't want a lousy transfer maid myself. And why must I make it easy for you to just transfer when u make my life difficult from the minute you start work for me? :mad:carolsoh
