      go to cold storage or lucky plaza employment agencies where there are always experienced maids looking for new employer especially expats.
      Those maids advertise at the Cold Storage are only looking for Ang Mo employers. Easier job for them

            I take 7 from same agent, so change after that. Last 3 I get from a famous agent but just not my luck, 1st one can’t cook at all, fry potato in a blank wok with no oil no water, whole hse in smoke, lucky I came hm early once lift open can smell it ran hm and off everything. So complain badly to agent cos I told before i need a independent maid. Sent back straight. 2nd maid damn dirty, the foam that used to wash the dishes from blue turn to black due to whole foem mould. Then my kids white uniform turn from white to grey, I thought school change colour, later then know due to not clean…worst is cought her steal. she said money found in the washing pile, not steal, some found on the flood of my hse. So sent back, Now this one will be 3rd one… I think myself really not in good luck, not agent problem la. My previous maid work 7 yrs with me also from this last agent.

            My maid will use hand to wash due to my husband is a driver need to brush the shirt, my 2 boys also need to brush the collars, but will use machine to spin and dry. Mattress cover, towers will use machine. Is it too difficult for maid? If I don’t have maid will do it myself as well…

                looks ok, everything including cooking, look after kids was 'excellent' end up totally can't make it! very dreamy, not serious abt learning, can't even beat an egg even after showing her how to!! in Short, untrainable!!



                had one who cant beat the egg as well....so all fresh myanmar maids cant beat eggs??
                Hi, no la..only the 1st Mynmar maid I had, which I chose base on bio-data, is like that..she's super blur type..the feeling she gave me was, as if coming here to work, is just a chance for her to see & experience the outside world! we gave up on her after 1+ week! But we didn't bother to send her back for counselling & we also didn't bother to 'talk' to her on our own la..
                the 2nd Mynmar maid we had, was with us for ard 1 yr 9mths..but we got her after we complained to the agency's boss about the 1st hopeless 1..so the boss personally chose for us, base on recommendation from mynmar agency..this 1 is very serious in her work & very hardworking..helped us look after my girl who was 4yr old that time, & my new-born son till he's 18 mth..She's trustworthy, honest, simple, & appreciative..

                My current Mynmar maid is our 3rd 1 & is a transfer maid..at 1st, also have minor problems like not aware of her duties, no initiative, not so attentive to my active 2yr old son(didn't noticed he put things into his mouth etc)..We had a serious talk with her, tried to talk sense into her & asked her why she want to come here to work..told her what we are not satisfied with her..& we told her if she's not happy with what we told her, she can choose to go back to agency to wait & change another employer..she suddenly change overnight & corrected all her mistakes & improve overnight! it's like the 'on off' switch turned on correctly!! now she can also cook simple meals..we were very relieved & think we did the right thing by talking to her..& we think she was initially simply being very ignorant, as in not so aware of what is expected of her..

                Overall, hubby & I still feel more at ease with MYnmar maids..think they are more appreciative & give less problems (like boyfriend/stealing etc)..of course, there can be some black sheep amongst them, but think there are much more many black sheep amongst maids of other nationality..But this is my very personal view..don't mean to offend anyone..

                      A friend just introduced me to SLF Greenmaid’s Yvonne for Myanmese helpers. Saying that they’re SPECIALISEDin Myanmese helpers. Anyone got maids from them before?


                      On the same note, my current Indo one seems to wanna stay, sigh…

                        Agree...what's for sure is that if you continued to keep her, you're certainly going to get a very dirty house. But if you change to a new maid, you have 50% chance of better a better helper
