I found a maid ready to join me but asking 650$ a month with 4 sundays off and go home every year. also saying she wants to work in other places on sundays, wants her phone. she has 4 years sg exp good with kids, and cooks well and good at house cleaning.

Is this the current price.. Is this a good deal?

$650 salary is too high. It's over the market price. And maid are not suppose to work at other place, it is moonlighting and illegal for work permit holder to work two job. Please do not allow her to work other places. I only allow my maid to go back after she completed her contract for two years. Maybe you can try out my agency if you are still looking for helper. You can call my agent, Wendee 62684490, she is a great help, my family and relatives took maids from her since many years back.

what is the norm agent fees + placement fee these days ?


I found a maid but her agent is charging $1588 before insurance and work permit admin papers and the maid placement fee is $3K !!

all the ++ that is equal to S$5K

i am under the impression there is more transparency now … the fees payable to the agent is only 2 months of their salary (her basis is $600) so i got a shock with i see the final amount

My got a transfer maid and agent charged me $888 (agent fee) + $321 (insurance) and 7 months advances for the maid loan. Total I paid around $5000. Nowadays, agent anyhow charges and any amount employer paid hardly can recover back if maid no good. Good luck.

after i have a bad experience with one of my ex-helper by paying a high placement fees, i refrain myself from doing it again. hence i look for helpers with decent placement fees ranging about$1000-$2000.

that is why i refused to do it .. no guarantee high agent fee = quality maid .. even though they claims they screen the maid and they only accept the best

Hi,


I am releasing my Filipino maid as I decided to be a homemaker. She is reliable and responsible person so I would recommend to anyone that is interested.

Hi

Anyone can share what kind of incentives you offered to retain good maid ?

[Libratigger]

Hi,

anyone is releasing their trusted domestic helper not due to performance, integrity nor other less positive reasons?
I am looking for a lived in helper and is willing to wait for her ? If you do have any pls pm me .
Thanks

I m just wondering how do u all go about planning for the food menu with a Muslim

Indo maid? I m so used to Christain Indo maid. Now changing to Muslim maid, headaches. Will The Maid mind if we use serving spoon on veg and then she dare to eat after that? As for soup we always cook pork ribs, now I don’t know how. Can’t be taking chicken soup Everyday.

I’ve only had muslim maids. So far no issues. When they come over to work, they know that they will have to handle pork and we definitely do not have a halal kitchen. Some of them actually do eat pork. If they don’t they can always eat the other stuff or cook a small portion of their own food. They are usually not that particular. Those who are particular about this will request to work only for muslim families.
