      We can always T/T the money back to her home town, right :?


      Possible the employer just absorb the handling fee.

      When she come back after her home leave, it will be safer to loan her advance $$.

      Is not advisable to loan her money to bring back. Cos it happened to my sister's maid. Asked for advance $ for 2 mths loan and din come back. 😢

      F.Y.I, she also a good maid :x
      Oh good idea! never tot of that. Will sound her out tonight

        I have sound out the idea proposed by shine_fs last night. My helper said have to discuss with her family first but I dont forsee her family will agree to it. Guess i will leave it in her hand for the time being.

            Yes. T/T very fast one. My indo maid t/t by western union thru post office, with 5 minutes, her family member can get the money at western union over their side.

            So I don't see why her family member can't agreed to it. :roll:

              my maid just made my blood pressure boil.


              Now there is a great demand for transfer filippino maids as filippino has problems coming to Singapore. Please do not employ her to save yourself alot of heart ache. I am asking her to go home, but she refuse and wants a transfer!!!

              for those need her name, please do not hesitate to check with me.

                  1 year plus with me. Previously 2 yrs for another employer.


                  All my previous maids all work at least 4 years, with the longest being 10 years. This is the only problematic one!!! >_<

                  No more ex-sin, off days and handphones for me.

                    I've never had a maid who's is Ex-Sin, Ex-Malaysia or Ex-HKG...never dare to take them. The one time I took a Filipino and about to give her an off day for Christmas, she played punk. The agreement was NO off day until 6 months later...she was with me for 3 months.
                    Maids cannot have off day or handphones - or else it spells the start of problems and comparisons.

                      Hi Cher_06


                      Is the HP giving u problems too? I believe if she is Ex SIN she probably have many friends here already so want to chit-chat while working, right? Mine also filipino wants to leave after 7yrs which I believe was becos I was not pleased that she used the HP until her work affected (my earlier posts. ) So I told my agent that I do not want ex-sin maids. But I do not mind ex-malaysia, HK, Taiwan etc.

                        Great news!!! My helper has agreed to the arrangement. She said her hubby will loan more money from his boss for the time being since I will be giving them the 2nd mth loan after she came back!!! Thanks everyone for your suggestion!!!
