      Yes, really shouting. She was washing the car and shouting to another maid 3 floors up. That ex-maid has simply no manners too. She walked into my room without knocking and I had to give her lessons on manners. :x


      I observed her washing car in the beginning. Shouldn’t be an issue at all, I thought. Then suddenly she spotted another maid upstairs and started to make friends. When I go downstairs to see her wash the car, that other maid will disappear suddenly to prewarn my maid I’m approaching.
      It’s ok to chat but not shout lah. The neighbourhood is quiet during the day and yet my maid is shouting. So embarrassing.

          Yes, it was so embarrassing when my neighbour told me. I went downstairs quietly from another lift so that the other maid couldn't see me. The both of them were talking so loudly. :x

              If employers are up to some action, then have to lock door, esp if there are kids at home. :oops:

                  I don’t sleep with doors locked, but still that doesnt mean the maid can walk in.

                    my maid’s contract is expiring in Feb 2011 and I need to get a replacement by Feb so that the old one can handover the new one. However, the maid agency closed down so I need to find a new agency.


                    Any recommendation? I’m also looking for this agent Janet See who used to work for Jolly (the closed down agency). Does anyone know her? I think she is damn good at handling difficult maids.

                      I got my first maid last week. On the second day she was asking me whether can she call back home as that day was her’s son birthday, so i let her call back using my hp. Yesterday my confinement lady told me that the maid was asking whether can used her hp to call back home again. What should i do? should i buy him a phone card? free or deduct fr salary ? if i pretend don know about this, i also worry that she got "home sick" and wanted to go back. Any suggestion?

                        I gave my maids one phone card a month(free) until their loan is paid up. After that they buy their own phone cards.
