        nothing2do, that's more than what I pay some of my live-in-maids...:| that doesn't count levy, insurance, food and lodging lah! But this arrangement probably suits families who are not willing to compromise on privacy. Sigh!

          exactly! somehow, i feel that living with a stranger in the house is simply an invasion of privacy. there’s no telling what the maid does when u r not at home. and frankly, i have tot at length abt whether i would feel assured leaving my dd with a maid at home while i go to work, should there be days when she’s sick. and i concluded no. so no choice, gotta make my own life a bit harder.


          the thing abt having a live-in maid is that u have to consider additional costs such as when dining out and the cost of feeding one more mouth for three meals everyday. it can add up to a substantial amt. but of course, if i can ever find a maid whom i can trust the house with, as in the chores and basically someone trustworthy, i wouldn’t mind this incremental cost.

              hi everyone! I have received many PM for the contact no of my previous part time maid. So I thought I should just answer everyone here and also any more future request.


              Unfortunately the last I heard was she had a accident, think a fall or something. So not doing anymore cleaning jobs. Then it seems the whole world is looking for her because even my relatives is asking for her. But I lost my hp and also her handphone number!!! I called her house but they say no such person!! She could have changed her house number. So I sincerely apologised I can’t help anyone here. I m also desperately looking for her! sigh!! But if I could ever trace back her number, I will let you guys know.

                  hi Sherman,


                  Do you mind sharing yours? Where does she lives and what does she normally do for the housechore? Does she come daily to your house?

                  I'm thinking of getting a part time helper for my new house.

                        I have a very good PT cleaner too. she's from myanmar, now singaporean PR.


                        She's very thorough, quiet, and irons well. At $45 for 3 hours, not that cheap but I can really trust her to do a good job. Think what she can do in 3 hours, others need 4-5 hours to do, so overall worth it.

                        PM me if you want her contact. 🙂 Hougang area most convenient for her.
