Suggest in future for such cases, don’t send back to agent. Buy a cheap ticket & send her home. By sending her back to agent, you’re transferring such bad attitude to ano family. By sending her back, it makes it tougher for her to come back coz she’s gotta pay for the agent to find her way back. Make it difficult for her. Hope she learn to behave & respect the eyer that feeds & pay her salary.

I can totally understand shinyee901012. I’ve hired several Myanmar helpers in the past and there are some who gave me endless problems, attitudes etc. Given the current Covid situation, Myanmar has closed their borders and no international flights for now. In fact they just extended the flight suspension from 30 Oct to 30 Nov. The other way to a flight back is to queue for the Covid relief flight arranged by their government. As of few weeks ago there are about 3000 people on the waitlist so it is going to be a matter of months. Therefore buying an air ticket to send them back is not an option now. Either place them on waitlist for relief flight or send back to agency.

Anyone have experience to share how to handle a maid that doesn’t take instructions ? As my mum is unable to turn her body, I asked the maid to turn for her. She replied ok but I observed she hasn’t been turning. Maid has been with us for 3years+. Now also cannot send her home. Her salary is already $700 and just concentrate on taking care of bedridden mum and assisting her to toilets, feeding and medication. Basic cleaning of house once a week. How should I ask her to get the job done ? She doesn’t like us to tell her what to do. If I tell her off, I am afraid she will harm my mum.

It sounds very clear to me it’s an attitude problem. You can train/teach skills but you cannot train attitude. I’m surprised u’ve not sent her back early this year when u got the chance

You might want to consider seriously getting proper help ASAP coz if yr mum is bedridden, she DEFINITELY needs to be turned often. Without proper aeration, she get bedsores & get pneumonia fr infection very soon. My mum passed on coz I was too late in getting early help when she was bedridden & my pino maid then was very argumentative. I sent maid quickly home coz an argumentative helper hard to handle when u’re stress with elderly needs. I was left to put my mum to a nursing home coz I was the only sole breadwinner then. Mum had bedsores & then passed due to pneumonia fr infection which spiral very quickly.

ACT FAST. Hope things work out for you soon.

early this year she wanted to return home in April. Bought her airtickets in Feb and came March, due to the worsening of covid-19 situation, countries closed borders and that is why she is still stuck with me.
