All About Full-Time Maids

[kai]

haiz.. yeah tats the employer's fate if we do get a MAID like tat.. geesh.. but in actual fact after learning the lesson thru the hard way, i gathered getting a maid is really based on luck.. how often or not we get to know tat the biodata might not be accurate.. so now whenever my frens or colls ask me in ways to 'locate' a good maid thru biodatas.. my answer to them is count ur lady luck & oso if not good den jus change.. so simple.. dun keep a maid which does not help u but add on to ur woes

My turn to update… for those staying in Hougang, beware… the agent that service me from Lxx Garden has been posted there.


After i sent the agency the letter from SCT… they continue to ignore me… ignore AEAS. Can you believe it… they can ignore ASEA and AEAS told me cannt do anything abt it… they issued them warning letter for not responding… so wht? they still ignore. I wonder what is the relevant than?

FYI, AEAS agreed there has been numerous complaints on this agency… and i wonder why there is no action taken? Base on contract,i still cannot cancel the maid’s work permit… can you believe i am paying levy and all for a maid that is with the agent since Jan?

My advise to all is, do not get discourage. I got motivation from "insider" advise. There are many loopholes in this system, we have take in our strike to address. Maybe we shld all contact a reporter to do an article on this. We are suffering too… and needed someone to raise a red flag!!!

Hi Tamarind


Would like to hear from yr advise that if your maid telling lies by using yr hse phone to call her cousin & friends to chit chat during the day she is doing the hse cleaning. When i reach home & find something fishy that i check on the phone, and ask her why got so many strange no. & she lies & tell that her church friends call her.

And i ask her whether she call them or ppl call her & she lies by telling is her friends call up. :?:

I have an ex-maid who used to do that too. It was very annoying. She gave my home telephone number to her boyfriends who sometimes call her at midnight ! I sent that maid away.

My new maids don't even know what is my home telephone number.

I think it is very difficult for your maid to change. If possible, lock your phone in the room so she cannot use it. Then she will probably talk on her mobile phone all day. At least you don't need to pay the phone bill.

New updates ! Make sure you don't employ these maids !

What I find easier to implement is to state clearly to the maid and make her agree to not using the house phone or owning a cell phone even before bringing her back from the agency. So it become part of the agreement if she wants to work for you.

Agree with tamarind that the maid probably won't change and you might need to get a new one. Had an ex maid who does that and chalk up my phone bills with calls too - turn out to be lots of strange men calling. Not giving the maid your home number or address is our policy too. In our case we got our agency to agree to use their address so that her family can send mail to her at the agency address.
