Can anyone share if you match yr maid to the current market rate based on experience of the maid? So assuming fresh fillipino maids $580, those with experience are at least $650?

I’m thinking, if u hv a neighborhood clinic that cost btwn $26-42 depending on what MOM requires for medical checks, shld be OK. You might consider the time running too far for yr helper’s medical. I use SATA.

Is MOM’s requirement on medical check up the same for all FDWs?

Typically, normal tests are for urine (check for pregnancy) & blood (will normally be sent to central blood test centre for various communicable diseases & receive results the following week). The incoming girls’ first checkup will normally incl X-rays (tests TB) hence will cost more (ard $67+).

For those existing tests, I think SATA’s charges is more costly. Ard $41, which incl blood & urine tests only. That’s why I suggests yr neighborhood clinics, but every clinic price varies.

Hope abv helps.

Indon. 40+ yrs old. No experience, higher education than most with a pretty decent command of English. As a person she is very pleasant. Very pious. So much so that going to church takes precedence over her work.

I am not one who micro manages and I hate to have to repeat myself. I guess it is just not a good fit.

I know of a friend who used to have Indonesian maid. stubborn like crazy.
always steaming Chinese sausages every morning...husband kept quiet thinking it was wife's instruction.
actually it's to fry tulip sausage for breakfast. told her MANY times but just don't get into her head.

Hahaha. Sounds like my helper. Don’t know whether it’s being stubborn or simply absent minded.

The other day, I was furious over a mistake my helper made so I chided her. Helper replied loudly, “Yes, I know mam, how many times must you repeat !?” I was taken aback and told her, “You don’t be rude! Reminded you not to xyz for the past 1.5years, have you listened?” :roll:

What to do? Want employ maid, have to close one eye. I look at her good points, e.g. fast worker, v hardworking and her cleanliness level is there. Just tell ourselves, there is no perfect maid.

There are no perfect employers too
