I know i have no evidence but this is just to stop her frm hurting others as my agent wants his loan back and will keep transfering.

What do u advise?

Thats the whole thing we most of the time dont have evidences.. how to keep evidences :? if u kept the money take a photo then later no money take photo again :?

Anyways bad maids will never have the job whereever they go as many times as they go so try finding another one and then u can think wat u wanna do with this one...

moonee,
Wow, must have been real headache for you....
When you speak with the agent, does it help if you record the conversation? My friend appeal with MOM coz quota up for the year. She used video and audio tapes as 'proof' and it helped...

Ugh. And so my maid problems hasn't ended.


Today, at my mum's, my mum and aunt revealed to me that the maid has cried and said that I have accused her of spoiling the juicer (read my story a few pages back) when actually she heard me opening the tap. She said she merely put the juicer in the sink to clean. But *I* was the one who actually wet the juicer.

I was so angry! Why would I do such a thing? I could use many other things to play this game with her but why would I spoil my juicer just to accuse her? :? And I remembered the moment I saw the juicer, I shouted for her, and I was shaking the juicer hard, for the water to come out. Also, she's the kind who when confronted, and for something she never did, she would deny it vehemently. But when I confronted her about the juicer, she kept quiet. And then went behind my back to tell my mum and aunt. And still told my aunt not to tell me!

I was so disgusted with her that I left her tonight at my mum's because my husband wouldn't be home tonight and I really don't know how to face someone so disgusting. Yes I was all hands and legs handling 3 dogs & a toddler but I must say I'm happy. I feel light.

She wants a transfer, fine. I'm going to send her back to agency on Saturday. I really can't live with someone so fake.

hi auntyM and lovekidsverymuch, Yup Im really having a big headache especially the last few days. Well Ive been to the agent and selected a filipina in haste. Another 2 time transfer maid. I hv to apply as 2nd maid just to give the indon a transfer. My maid was on strike since yesterday frm 1pm till 3 pm today. This is to teach us a lesson not to mention angpow again. All she said is she wants a transfer and want to get out of the house. She only started to work when she heard the agent call to bring her for an interview. Ahhh! at last, clenching her fist, crying and going on strike work. Got what she wanted! I told her Im not going to release her until my maid is confirmed and if she decides to continue curling up in a corner she may do so but Ill call the cops not the agent and theres no transfer( actually dont know why call the cops)

I really think that MOM should limit te no. of transfers for maids. They are getting too smart and choose their employers while agents are making frm us.
oh yes auntyM , I will remember to record in future. I normally make the maid write down their reasons for leaving my home if they dnt wnt to work for me.

Hi moonee,

Let her curl up, go to sleep better take video of tv screen with date and time then the maid.... At least when she turn around and accuse you of 'whatever', you have proof of her 'strike' too!
Some agencies and other maids will 'teach' your maid how to irritate employer..

Juz my 2 cents

[madinked]

Wow, agencies do that? This world is a scary place.

[auntieM]

The seasoned maids will wrap small jewellery(like gold ring) with stone and throw over to house next door..they exchange so employer can't catch them.. When they meet up outside they will exchange back and sell the jewellery ...

Now you know how come we have so many new pawnshop, modern English speaking ones...

[raynreg]

Wow wow auntieM, that’s something beyond what I could imagine. To think that they have come up with such a plan…

[titank]

Wow getting Single Parent also have problem.Guess it all boil down to luck. Anyway best is not to let them have offday but employer would be compensated them with extra $$.

I've sent my current maid back (Indo) after working for 5 months...within these months, she broke my wardrobe glass panels, drinking glasses, bottles...many more.

I contacted my ex-maid and apply online without paying a single agent fees. Now my house is spick-and-span again.
Have a right maid is really like winning a TOTO.
