I agree that getting a decent maid really depends on luck. I wanted to get a PhilIpino maid so that we don’t have problems communicating with her but the Philipino maids nowadays have a lot of different patterns. If take Indonesian maid, will have communication barrier.

dear Singlemind

Don't worry about the maid's age.. My best Fil maid was 45++. It was 7 years ago and I still miss her. People who are older tend to be more stable, mature, able to reason and less impulsive in their words, response and actions. Their ability to emphatise with employers is greater .. They can \"see\" where you are coming from even if they do not necessarily agree with you. Life has a way of mellowing a person.

The younger ones (Fil maids) will ask me \"why can't show semi-nude pics\" to my 7 year old child? Like it's their way or NO way mentality..

I got my maid from this agency - Yan & Yan Employment @ Katong


1) Pinoy

Was good in languages but lazy, forgetful and always sick, so after 7 months return

2) Mynnmar

So called ex-sg but come to my place completely know nothing. Blur and don’t know how to speak, read and write a single word of english. Communication totally breakdown and everything cannot fulfill, asked for replacement after 1 month

3) Mynnmar

So called ex-sg, can speak better english. The next day told me to send her back to agency.

All her maids are lousy, incompetent and bad attitude. The lady boss also hare care attitude and keep recommending low quality and unsuitable maid just to earn money. Hard to contact as she will off her hp. Bad services.

I had lost my SIP and insurance even for the less than 24 hours Mynnmar maid.

No option, i switched to another agent and paid agency fee and everything all over again.

Hi hugomum,


Thanks for sharing.

My situation almost like you.

1. Pinoy - Good English, we all like her but after 6 months I found her stealing and taking control pill.

2. Mynnmar(Now) - 2 weeks, no good english, bad attitude, rude, princess, cannot take it anymore.

So did you manage to get back your balance loan?

Hi, Singlemind,
I m totally not related to the maid agency.
Get a helper from an agency tat support the idea no hp and no off day.

State this clearly during interview. Even confirmation. Get them to sign.

Test the agency. Some said ok but they actually close their eyes n dun care abt maid carry mutiple hp.
More than happy to persuade the helper to change employer as they can earn from both parties.

[Singlemind]

Ya I truely agree with you. They just wanna close more deal… You want to change maid how many times also nvm. They are more happy!

Hi Singlemind,


Managed to retrieve back the loan money fortunately.
But total within a year lost 3 x insurance pro rated and levy. The last mynnmar is the worse, less than 24 hours!!! The agent do nothing and just let her change her clothes and sit there waiting for the next prey.

I do not understand why are we under their mercy, we are genuine looking for maids to look after our children while we work to supplement family expenses and not those tai tai just get a maid to serve them, why do we need to pay for the levy and absorbing cost when we are not at fault.

Sigh… really feel miserable but I called MOM, they just told me nothing can be done.
