All About Full-Time Maids

I would do so too...esp if both are working and won't know what the maid is up to. Since you mentioned the maid knows her employer's movements and schedule so well, all the more should inform her.
I would, and I have done so. I believe that's what neighbours are for - be each other's eyes and ears. As I am SAHM, I know my neighbours appreciate tt I do keep an eye on their kids with maid or even antique table outside the flat2 prince:
Hi,
If u know that ur neighbour's maid is on a relationship,will you inform your neighbour?I wanted to inform her but afraid that her maid will know that I'm the one who told her employer.Can see that my neighbour's trust her maid very much as she took care of her children's alone when she goes to work & she knows wat time her employer come back,take leave,etc .

Hquek,
How’s your new maid? I will send mine back cos I discover she focus on herself image more than anything! She wears perfume and fanciful hairpins when go out with us. She has alot diff patterns hairpins and clips. She handwqebmy clothes but machine wash her clothes! Then is too good life right! She don’t greet people, never say sorry mdm when make mystakes, just smile away! And just realized she got alot barang like cosmetics in her pouch, powder sponge, night cream, moisturer. I advise employers to check their belongings when the maid first reach the house! I learnt my lesson, will be strict with the next maid!
My son fall twice but she did not says anything and it’s my elder son told me when I saw younger son forehead swollen. She looks around and I hot to feed sons when dine out. -

Not just Myanmar maids are fussy...Indon ones equally fussy. The reason could be the way bread or noodles are cooked in their own countries. My Indon maid told me she doesn't eat duck, salted egg, seafood and porridge but they ate all these and enjoyed the food they once disliked.Help! I have a problem with this new maid, very choosy over food, only eat rice! When she find the food not to her liking, she cook instant mee.
Normally is myanmar maids so fussy over food?? No kueh, bread, noodles? -

Hi anna ng,
To be honest my 2 children are quite naughty and active. Definitely they will not afraid of the maid, sometimes I need to shout them at the public as they tend to run here and there also.
How you think? And what you going to do?
Since you say that your maid has been mostly positive, and was sad over the lost kid issue, I think just impress on her that she must not bring them to other places after school. Give her some guidelines on what to do in future should such things happen again (CHOY). Also impress on your kids the importance of staying with the maid.
I think she should have towed your son along. What if HE gets lost? then it's 2 missing kids. She must never leave them unattended and all by themselves. :!:
My kids watch TCS shows and are now pretty scared of clowns (the previous show where a clown kidnapped children) and of straying far from us - but I know each child is different.
both parties have to cooperate. If your kids don't want to behave, they shouldn't be given the privilege to see toys. I think it's mighty lucky that a neighbour's maid brought your girl back, imagine if she landed in evil hands
Continue to be kind to your maid, but some things are just non-negotiable - and children's safety is one. -

So far mine is ok. I was a bit scared becos she likes to hum and sing when doing work - but figure it's just getting used to. My kids actually adore her (I was impressed, they were never this close to the last maid). Her shoes are pretty fancy, but her clothes quite simple and look a bit old. I think it's becos she's from poor family with 6-7 siblings to feed (she's the eldest). So far, I understand she's not too fussy with food, able to sleep at night.
She came with long hair, but agent brought her to cut her hair. She doesn't seem too upset about it.
She seems willing to take instructions. Second day she poured away some soup in a pot that was meant for me. I told her to check with me - she did look sorry, and i think it's my mum's fault for telling her to wash and keep (my mum's english limited). So all in, now we're all in the honeymoon period. :love: hope this time can last.
I really fed up of princess maids - this one is not, for that, I'm grateful. -
Dear hquek:
Thanks for your reply. Yesterday we sat down & discuss this issue with the children and the maid. Both kids agreed to behave and \"stick\" with the maid. We also highlighted to the maid about the safety and emphasis to her this is her responsibility and 100% was her fault of losing my daughter. Anyway, my boy also get \"lost\" so many times on his daddy hand. :lol:
I forgot 1 good point abt her.
Last month we bring her to see dentist as she claimed that she cannot sleep well because of the pain. We spent $90.00 for the bill and my hubby paid for it. Month end, when i gave her the salary $20/mth (as she has not clear her loan), she asked us to deduct the $90.00 fr her salary. We did not do so as we appreciated her helps even only for a short period. -

Hey, my 2nd Indon maid dresses up even when going to a supermarket ! When we go to mum's place, she has the cheek to lift up the pot covers to see what is there to eat :x Told her to knock before opening the door but that never got into her head. She disappeared in the room exactly at 10pm and only switches off the light close to midnight. Last straw was when I told her to mop the floor on eve of CNY and she asked me, 'need to meh ?' :x
Boiling mad with her and can't wait till after CNY to send her off. Got agency to get airticket, arranged for pickup service to send her to airport. That morn, told her to pack her luggage 2 hours before the driver came. Gave her pay and made her sign. Stood there while she packed. She was so shocked and called home. I didn't pity her bcos she drove me nuts with her rudeness and laziness for several months. -

Gosh, maids like that are a nightmare to have. I think it's really important to have one that accepts instruction. I'm impressed you suffered her for months!
