All About Full-Time Maids

[moonee]

Angelight:

I'm also getting a Myanmar maid this time, previous one was Indon. Heard that Myanmar maid is more mild mannered though a slower worker. But I'm willing to train from scratch, after having ex-Sin maids who have attitude problems. Hopefully this fresh maid will turn out well for me.

I too went tru hell with a lot of transfered indon n filipina maids. Not all Mynmars remain slow for long. once they get to know yr duties, they cn b quite fast. Some Mynmars can b very faithful when they know u hv confidence in them. u hv taken ex spores for sometime so u should mentally prepare urslf for quite a big change, dnt expect a fresh mynmar to know wat to do unlike the indons n filipinas. U may find a mynmar standing around after she has completed her duty waiting for u to tell her wat to do next. If shes fresh, u may have to demonstrate to make her understand at times. Nowadays depending on who yr agent is, they do hv some form of basic training.

Desertwind.. u are really very generous and so are a lot of others who posted here. None of my maids stayed long enuf to enjoy any monetary benefits. I only gave one a 300 dollar angpow on her last day plus loads of toys bags and gifts. She deserved it. As for the recent maids I had and have now, they r lucky i didnt cut their pay.

I normally assess their performance and attitude, if I have one that is honest , I will give her a yearly bonus and shower her with gifts. JUst too bad , I m very dissapointed again this year with my current Mynmar maid and am going tru biodatas again :x :x

Hi moonee,
So are you going to hire another Mynmar maid?

Well, hv been going tru some biodatas but all too short. Need the maid to be my mums height and at least 5 ft. Ahhh, so tired, really so very tired of changing maids. Im into my 6th maid soon, all the hasstle I went tru going up and down to the agent countless times n someting wrong will crop up between them n my mum. Looks like my life is centered around maids and their problems till I hardly pay much attention to my dd now. So stressssing!! Very time consuming and interupts with my regular schdule. I need to fetch my dd to her classes aftr sch and the timing seems to clash if i have to go to the agent. :stupid: :stupid:

Hi all,


Not all Myanmar maids are good. It really boils down to luck. I have a friend who has a Myanmar maid who works for her years. But my myanmar maid only works for me 1month and I can feel my blood pressure went up during that one month. I have already transfer her out. My current maid is ex-Singapore 4 years indonesian and I absolutely have no issues with her. So, conclusion it really boils down to luck and not nationality.

has anyone heard of asia date? my previous maid which i sent back told me yesterday that she actually signed up the dating/matchmaker service on asia date during one of her off days. the asia date seems to be for overseas filipinas to find boyfriends…seems it’s not those online dating website because she has no access to computer/internet. but she has handphone. no wonder she has so many phone calls…i am very shocked to know this.

My previous errant maid called my in-laws’ maid last week to brag that she is going to HK to work. Created an upheaval in my household before she was sent back by the agent, still got the cheek to call. Just when I was trying to put the unpleasant incident behind me, her phone call stirred up bad memories again. I pity the new employer in HK.

Just saw a maid smoking at the playground along the way to fetch my son. Have anyone ever see a maid smoking???

i heard the maid needs to pay all upfront cost before can go to HK instead of loan. does your previous maid have such amount of money?

if her new job in HK can not work out, she will have to go back home and lose all the cost she paid.

Hi liuhao


I have not heard abt a dating group for the philipino maids. My maid’s group also got guys but they organised and participates in sports event…Also heard of them joining something like Mr and Miss XXX pageant.


Possible that she secretly smokes behind employer’s back? Also nothing in the law to say that they cannot smoke, right?( unlike pregnancy, which is not allowed).
