      It was cosmetic during my time.


      She was a very good maid. I don’t really mind it as we regard her as family.

        It is hard to find domestic workers that you can fully 100% trust anymore, with the many bad news on domestic workers popping up every once in a while. Nice to know that there are maids that you can trust still around.

            I suppose if she is good in everything else important - good person, honest, takes good care of the kids and home, etc etc... then in this regard, you would deal with it. Like if our kids get sick every month we still love them, right? And we spend a lot of money on vitamins, prevention, good diet, etc etc.

            But if everything else so-so, then the cough could make you quite sore? Ask yourself... minus the cough, would you keep her? If the answer is yes, then just overlook the cough. Remember, the next person may not cough, but keeps picking her nose, or has rotten teeth, etc. 😓

              wow. sensitive air way needs visit doc very often. how long is she with your family? i'm not comfortable with her condition. sounds health threatening to the young kids.

                She has been with us for 1 year plus. I am also not comfortable. Actually she develops so - call sensitive air way & cough obly after working for us for about 8 months. I also think is health threatening to the kids.

                  I don think I am so great till I would provide vitamins for helpers. With the frequent visit to doc, it cost a bomb. We already have 2 young kids at home n now I have to take care of another young adult. I believe helpers have the responsibility to take care of themselves so they can continue to work properly. Just like our boss expect us to take care of ourselves so that we won’t take too many mc.

                    I provide my maids with Ribena. They let me know when finished. So far so good. No medical problems.

                      3+ weeks since my 7.5yrs helper left. it was only after she left then I realised I am really mean to her. we do not ill treat her but I forget that she is a person with feelings. with that, I live w a guilt and my girl lives with a fond remembrance of her best auntie who look after her for 6yrs. she wrote regularly to her and I told her she can continue doing so, until she dun feel she wanna to. we also sent a few sms to her. she had her breast surgery and is recovering w weekly followup. but I was quite surprised that she said her parents are paying for the medical checkups. thought she would have saved some all through the years? hb said most likely used up by her family all the years, beside the house she built and the lands she bought 😞

                        I would like to highlight to you not to hire this pinoy maid from Happy Home Agency at Lucky Plaza. Her name is Ms Flora Marilou Parica and she is 48 year old this year 2016. She is Filipino maid who is working in SIN for the past 10 years. She looks pleasant and kind looking but her attitude sucks. She steals employer WIFI password by erasing the password using the nail polisher remover to erase the password written in the router (which I have covered the password text using a black permanent marker). While she is cooking dinner for family, she will pick up her handphone which is kept in her pocket all the times and look at her sms sent by her pinoy friends and cook dinner meals at same time. She also talked on the handphone while feeding my baby when we are working outside as no eldery at home.


                        She is a very stubborn maid who refuses to follow instructions given by employers and raise her voice loudly at us when we tell her not to use her handphone daytime when baby is sleeping. She is lazy bum who shows black face when you ask her to do housework after she comes back from her weekly Sunday Off. She also takes revenge on your house by damaging your window locks and scratch your sink with her knife if she is not happy that you ask her to do extra housework like wash baby clothes by hand if baby poo stained on the baby clothes or wash car. Please do not hire this pinoy maid marilou who is old and wear sexy clothes on her offday. She also like to ask for salary advance from you before her actual payday and she is unhappy when you forgets to pay her when she asks for salary advance. Good for nothing pinoy maid Marilou who does not respect her employer by raising her voice at us and her maid agent said that she is just outspoken maid who is only suitable to work for Expatriate family. She can talk on the phone from 10.30pm till 1am at night when we allow her to finish work early and get some rest at night. Instead she talked on her handphone at night till 1am as she locked the room which we give her a room for privacy. She never respects her employer and always disobey employer instructions and she took revenge again by pouring hot water over the cap of the milk container to store baby milk powder as she claim she always does in her previous employers house…
