All About Full-Time Maids

[catang]

Sully M, this one no language barrier. just dat i got a rude shock when i saw the mushy smses in her hp. trying to break ice on our way home, we chatted wif on her family n she claimed single n no bf. the moment reached house dashed into toilet call n sms. of cos after keeping for her, i check and found out she was preg b4. bf told her to take care n must eat cos their babe oso need to eat.


agent apparently lying as usual on the biodata. she had 4 employers b4 me but agent stated only 2. still said only 2 when i questioned, only saying will check n get back to me after i said how come from MOM website is 4. ans from agent is 1)passport expired so go back, 2)worked at 2 houses till she cant tahan, 3)sir kept using vulgarities n scold her pig, 4) never pay her salary.

if she’s able to come out now, means she was sent back to abort the child n come back again. also in another of her sms to bf is she has off now. telling him not to call or sms her as i kept her hp. i really do not know to handle but so far 2 days with us, nothing for me to complain about.

tell the agent abt this oso no use cos i always liaise wif father (boss) but he went ovrs so i spoke to daughter. told her i will kena if maid get preg, she can tell me most impt is i need somebody who is able to work well with us, in order to lighten my load and if worse things do happened den see wat to do!

so now can only hope for the best (=^o^=)

can any of u advice me, now is only in-principle approval, she havent got her thumb print done. is it possible for me to cancel her n get a new one? will it be counted as one employment by me?


asking this cos MOM today no work.

i still praying hard but had to tink if she were to bring my gal to sch or her therapy session, this will be a chance for her to contact or meet her bf. my gal will be in danger as she looks normal and is in her puberty, but she cant differentiate gd and bad.

I need to use them only 3 times in 15 years because I only changed maid 4 times (one time did not use them and regretted (though that maid was still ok))

A friend who is presently staying in HKG told me Filipino maids tend to be more daring than Indon…her friend’s maid does the grocery/marketing there and she buys the food SHE likes and not what the family likes.

Then her employer buys blueberry bread for her son to bring to school. Instead, the maid eats the blueberry bread and gives the family WHITE bread.

did u manage to contact MOM this morning? how about your maid agency? if u know of another agency, can call them to ask too. i was recently very disappointed with my agent so i wont recommend them.

wld u like to consider interviewing transfer maids? my 2nd one was a transfer & she was loved my son. hse keeping not so clean so have to close one eye. bring your children along to see too as sometimes kids can be good judgement of character.

your girl deserves a good maid.

Hi, can anyone advise what’s the market rate for maid salary nowadays ?


new, Indo, no exp = $
ex-SIN, Indo, at least 2 yr exp = $
transfer, Indo, at least 3 yr exp = $____

The last maid i had was 5 yrs ago. At that time, exp ex/transfer maid usually around $350 or less, new maid $300. Was told their salary has increased a lot now, is it true ?

Thanks in advance !

i just got a maid in Aug, the agent told me for Philipino $420 & Indonesian $390 for new maid

[raynreg]

Looks like the current minimum wage matter has raised wages for these helpers. Wages used to start from $320 regardless of Indon or phili
