Hi all,


Not too sure if i have posted in the right column...

Im looking for a reputable maid agency...

I have a 15 month baby and a newborn...

anyone can help by introducting a good maid agency?

thanks

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.

catang:

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.

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

Hi mrswongtuition

I seriously have no ideas about this. Would you mind to share it briefly either here or through PM.

Many thanks

BTW, did you know that Filipinas who work overseas have to pay very hefty taxed when they return? That's why alot of them rather forego the homeleave!
