      Thanks moonee. Maid now says she will tahan until she goes home.

      Now we must remember to get the agent to chck whether maid has any decay before coming in, highlight to them that they hv to pay for their own dental and its costly here, its always cheaper in their own hometown.

        jiebdiaobei, amazing with this attitude you can still tolerate your maid for 2 years ++. Most employers would probably sent her packing after 3 months!!


        Now I heard new maid salary is $400. $450 and above are for experienced maid. Try a few agencies to find out and compare. Don’t go to those 14 agencies that gang up and got investigated.

          Hi

          I have a maid who is currently still with me. She still has a loan of 5 months outstanding. If I want to transfer her to another employer without going through maid agency, how can I go about doing it? Would the new employer pay me the balance of her loan?

            I had the misfortune of getting a maid who had no teeth and the few that she had were rotten and black. Sent her back to the agent within 24 hours as she couldnt even eat anything. I dont know how she passed her medical. Maybe they dont check the maid’s teeth.

              Maybe Need to FeedBack to MOM ....
              And MOM Add ONE More Clause - Tell Agent to Check when Snap Photos ....
              Smile BIG-BIG .... Oops .... No Teeth .... Sorry Cannot Go Spore!

                The maid said that she lost her dentures in the training centre. But she was in so much pain. I really dont know how some of the maids get through the medical. if i had to take her to the dentist, it would have cost about 3 to 4 K to extract all the rotten teeth and do a full denture set. She was only 23 years old!

                  I'm sure their medical doesn't include dental checks. Maybe they were given the impression that all medical and dental expenses will be taken care of here by the employer so don't even bother to visit the dentist before they come.

                    Hi,


                    I have just sent my maid home last week. While working with me she ends up with a HP which I had confiscate as she not suppose to have any. The thing is she doesn't have any off days and her circle of friends ( even though I frown upon her talking to the neighbour's maid) is very limited. The problem is she claimed tt she got the HP from my mom's friend who happen to visit us. But when I confronted the other maid she said tt the HP doesn't belong to her but her employers's kid. The kid actually use the HP as a pretend HP. I tried to ask the my mom's friend but she doesn't really know. So when I confiscate the HP I had the intension of passing it back to the other maid by she had left for home.

                    Now she keeps SMS me and calling me to pass her the HP and she also claim tt she has spoke to the other maid about it and the other maid said to pass the HP to my maid.

                    I don't maid giving her the hp back but the stories doesn't not Telly. Cos the other maid said tt it's the kids pretend phone and now she is trying to have rights over it. The thing is also I don't trust my maid based on her 1yr 10 months working with me.

                    Really lost. :stupid:

                        Hi Foursome, if you have already sent your maid home. Then you shouldn’t bother about it. Just tell your maid that you have throw hp away, then she won’t bother you again. Obviously when you sent her packing without the hp, you had no intention to return it to her in the first place. So just ignore the calls.
