Was this discussed? How much actually the employer is now paying to an experienced maid?


I am now paying my maid experienced but not so hard working $600 per month and no holiday but subject to her need, I let her go home for 2-3 weeks in recent three years but not the first 2 years she’s with us.

She’s educated and can teach my son (5 years old) to finish some English and Maths but of course not Chinese and English phonics.

Her assent sounds to me very "Philippine".

2) Know simple cooking/ Do housechores
3) Able to communicate in basic English
4) No off day & no Handphone

Please recommend & pm me if anyone has a good maid whom you do not need her service anymore.

Thanks!

Yesterday my mother’s maid called me to say she wanted to go home. Reason being her father in hospital and want to see her. She said she wants to go home on Tuesday ie. tomorrow.

Since she only with us for 9 months and have not finished her contract, didn’t know exactly what should be done so told her I will call the agent and check.
Today I told her to call the agent directly to tell them she wants to go home.
She just now told me her agent said no money and have not finished her contract cannot go home. So now she said she will continue to work for us.
She told me no need to call the agent anymore. She think her father should be fine now and will send back money if need be.

Hmmm......all now like to use same tricks huh? Think agent somehow know how to control them. My agent also tell me, contract not finished=no money=cannot go back. Mine 6 months here...since 2nd month tried all sorts of tricks liao -

1. 3/4 of money lost, wonder if they have money .....very worried, wanna go home
2. Mom died ...... worried family cannot handle the funeral (when siblings around to help), wanna go back
3. Her brother scolded her 20yo son and he's upset, so wanna go home cos' son upset
4. House broken into (lost TV, VCD and handphones) .... wanna go home
5. Recently....talked about her father, wonder if he's the next victim.

Anyway, 2 years ago, this maid went home after 1 yr in SG cos' her Grandma died......

Think better get agent to speak to them whenever there's any issue.....
