      Don’t know about your homes, but mine was quite messy when I had my maids. My mom used to come by and pull me aside to tell me how dirty my kitchen was …how untidy the living was…She couldn’t understand why it was so and why I won’t help clean up the mess.


      Yesterday she came by (been awhile since she last popped by) and she actually said that my place was much cleaner than when I had maids.

      You see, I had to close my eyes and not help the maid when I had one. Because whenever I helped, the maid will stop doing it. So I had a choice - leave the house untidy and dirty or become the maid for the maid to boss around. I’m sure many of you have experienced this.

        So which nationality will you rather choose? Maid from philipine, myanmar or indonesia?

        I prefer to take a fresh filipina and try to contdition her frm the start. problem is they tend to get very ambitious and have high demands.

        Indons would be a good choice for housework n cooking but My dd tends to fall ill when we employ Indons.

          I heard there are maids from Cambodia in Malaysia. Don't why Singapore don't have.

          My agent recentlu mentioned that vietnamese have been approved to work here.
          I understand the Cambodians dont have 10 yrs education and no english too 😄

            Moonee, is it true that now vietnamese can work here as maids? From what I know from friends and relatives, most would prefer to work here as \"you know what\" rather than maids becos they can earn more...not sure how true that is.


            But I've personally seen some Vietnamese women (quite pretty ones) working as escorts (I guess becos of their sexy dressing and there were a few of them with a man, like their agent). I saw them at the airport queueing to check in, they were holding Vietnamese passports. So I think the pretty ones would rather come here and find Sporean husbands than to work as maids. JMHO. 🙂

              Yes, Vietnamese can work here as maids now. Do you dare to try? A lot of them are out and about looking for foreign husbands just to get out of their country.

                    Yup, vietnamese have been approved something like 2 months back but I guess not popular yet cos newly apporoved and us ladies dont have a very good impression of them… I guess agents will bring them in slowly as they were just recently approved

                      Haiz despite the fact I ask my maid to bath twice a day, I still find she smells. I wouldn’t use the word smelly but a kind of smell which I dislike. Any idea how to deal with it?

                        Get her some talcum powder & ask her apply under armpit after her bath? I ask my maid to do tat & the smell slowly go off…
