[gajidouma]

:?: Has anyone here left their P1 kid with new maid alone at home, say half a day for the school is not single session? care to share some experience and give some advise?

Thank you very much in advance.

Oh she can access internet?

My maid of a year just requested to tap our house broadband to her internet mobile. She said she want to go into facebook. My kids had added her as friend in their facebook!!! I don't even know it. :idea: Still considering whether to let her tap or not.

no, she can't and she is not allowed to... but i am amazed at her IT knowledge.. is your maid Filipino?

Yes. Mine is Filipiino.

Your maid also very funny cannot access internet than add her to skype for what? :roll:

Yes. Mine is Filipiino.[/quote]I hired a maid to work for me, not to skype. As it is, their attitude sucks. If I allow her to access internet or Facebook, no need to sleep or work.

I told my maids to sms after they retire to the room at 10…well, I only have to say it ONCE and they remember that very well but not for other things. Then they chat and sms the whole night and not able to wake up the next morn…until hubby had to ask me to wake them.

Then they find excuses to go downstairs to buy phone cards to top up…problem is they don’t come back until after 2 hours.
If allow them to access Internet, what is next ?

Oh my gosh...I didn't know that maids nowadays are so tech-savy! I think when choosing maid better to get one from the village / kampong area. Fortunately, my new Indo maid's home is in a kampong... so far, very appreciative and good learning attitude... not so blur and quite familiar with appliances etc cos worked in Malaysia previously. Asked her whether she wants to telephone and speak to her relatives. She wants to write letters to her sister working in Malaysia... cos her sister does not have handphone! Agreed that she can talk to her family in Indonesia once a month.

4 maids, one smarter than than the other...and I also learn their nonsense and how to handle the next one.

Filipino ones tend to be more tech savvy. Usually Indon maids come from kampong. Now most of them don't write letters...they sms bcos it's cheap and reply is fast. My first maid was the only one who don't spend her hard-earned pay on phone cards.
