All About Full-Time Maids

Hi
How many months is your maid I want to impress you period before they start to demand things?
Did your maid ask you for your Wi-Fi password? Did you give it to her. -
I usually give the maid the wi-fi password myself. However, I always inform them that I will monitor their use. If they cannot help themselves and lose control, then I will take back their mobile.

Hi
Usually very hard for them to have self control. They promise to use HP only after finish work at night end up also break promise and use daytime secretly. My maid, asked to use her HP daytime and nap as she threaten to transfer then let her use and nap.My chores did not get done either.Worse is using HP when my child is up the escalator. -
I guess its easier when there are people at home to watch them. Otherwise, better to hold on to their phones.

Maids nowadays would be u happy if you keep her handphones. The first, day she come to my house already ask about her handphone. I ever hired a maid who we told her to put her handphone on the cupboard where she can see her headphone but not locked away end up also unhappy and go and use the handphone daytime when we are working.Their heart is only on using hand phone, facebook, selfie and talking to her friends over the phone like nobody business.Yet when it come to communicating with my children can suddenly become a mute .

my maid is also alone at home in the daytime. so we only give her hp about 9pm. she also asked about wifi but i dont give her. so i think these adds up to unhappiness so now she dont want work for me already.
my prev maid i gave her hp in the daytime she end up taking sexy photos at home when no one is at home. i dont want it to repeat again. yes they will promise to use the phone after chores finish but is v difficult to control…even for us we also keep looking at our phone. if the phone is really affecting their work and the safety of your children and your maid dont seem repentful, then you can consider changing…although i know change is not easy! i am having dreams about my new maid already! -
Hi sunny_side_up
Well said that’s what we employers, are, facing. Changing maid is one option but agency fee is steep and having to bear the risk of next new maid turn out the same. Best is to gradually go maidless when the children are older.
How long your current maid lasted with you before raising the issue of transfer. Transfer we employer need to pay her food and lodging and levy at losing end too.
These, days maids hardly can complete 2 years contract they just transfer as and when they like.
My previous maids don’t dare to ask me for Wi-Fi password boldly this new maid ask me directly 2 months here. The previous Maid only use HP at night but of course daytime also use without you knowing so close one eyes.But cannot do at expense of children safety. They used to caused my children to hurt themselves when she use HP while out with them. -
Mine worked for me for 1.5years. Contract finishing in aug… Then 2 weeks ago say dont wan work liao pay too low and work too much. she say i either buy a ticket for her back or let her transfer to an agent she found herself who told her she can fetch higher pay now. i agreed to increase her pay but i ask her if she will recontract in august. she say no she will jus work now till aug. So i thought might as well change now else around june i also have to start sourcing. plus now i know she is not unhappy, the feeling is not right already. so i decided to change now. waiting for my new maid to come in march. but ur maid sound demanding. want hp and nap. does she look after bb at night?

Hi sunny_side_up
My child sleep through the night no need to wake up. For a maid who never come to Singapore before to work I find her demanding.
She simply refused to follow instructions despite numerous reminder.
How do you get your maid to follow instructions. -
Hi my maid needs wisdom extraction. I heard there are dental clinic that charge cheaper rates for maids in tow payoh or AMK. Anyone know of any to recommend?
I guess this is paid by employer as well right?
