All About Full-Time Maids

[wandabfree]

I am a newbie and enjoys reading the feedbacks and discussions here.


Also, I am looking for a transfer maid who is reliable and responsible. She must be good in child minding and obedient.

So if any mummies here are transferring hers out (must hv finished loan), pls contact me at 91918475.

If I still cannot please my mum, I will put u my maid for transfer soon. Will keep u in mind if I really do transfer her.
I told hb that if I really have to let current maid go, I thought I should at least help to get her an employer. That is provided that she still wants to work lah. These maids... all want to enjoy life when they have some $$ in their pocket.

bzmum,

Haha, I tot I am the rare breed who have problems with my own mum!
My mum is really exactly like yours, dont want to offend my brother but no need to think twice about slamming me.
Always tell me how good my bro's maids are. The best part? The good maids got changed but my is still with us. :yikes:
I have decided to adopt your method, side with my mum regardless of what the maid says. The most is to change maid lor. Afterall, how can I trust a maid over my mum? I hope my maid doesnt quit soon. Lol.

SMH Forest,
Wah, day time alone at home, no need to man kids and still not happy? All my maids and the ones that my bro has, all preferred to do housework over looking after kids anytime.

I called up MOM as I just didn't feel right... the officer suggested that i email them regarding this case. I suppose, the officer wants an official email so that they can do further checks (if any!)????


Anyway, MOM really can't help much in most matters. The officer told me:

1. For this discrepancy in agency issue, email them. What they will do or if they are going to do anything at all, I have no idea.
2. If I want advise on contractual stuff with employment agencies, call up AEAS
3. If I have dispute on loan and want assistance to get back loan, call CASE

Sigh...

Well, I was going to confirm on a Filipino thru another agency... that Fili will get her passport this week, and will need around 5-6 weeks to come. Then, got another bio from another agency that they have this new Fili who just came, but employer backed out as the old maid decided to stay. Interviewed etc and took her - and she is already here.. so process is very fast.

So yes... no replacement frm the original agent, and they had filed my maid under a different agency name w/o my knowledge... goes to show the system loophole isn't it? The name they market themselves in, have 9 demerit points as of now lor... SIGH...

With regards to this saga... i got a reply from MOM... the reply tells me nothing but just how MOM does not even understand how the employment of domestic helper happens:

1. I told them abt the failure of the english test, to which the officer said that this is currently under review.

2. I mentioned abt the bad quality of the maids, as even a maid who passes the english test could not understand english. Not even basic words. Guess what reply I got?

Quote: \"MOM also encourages employers to conduct a face-to-face interview before employing to ensure that the interviewed FDW matches your expectations.\"

Interview face to face?!?! :mad: :slapshead: :nunchuk: Has MOM LOST TOUCH with whats happening? New maids are not arranged to LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY unless the new employers SIGNS a contract with the employment agency to hire them! Even the phone interview doesnt help much, because as we all know.. a lot of times, the maids answers based on the agency's representative help who is beside them...

3. After my email abt the discrepancy, the officer again asks me whom I had signed the contract with... :slapshead: ok.. let me reply and state once again... HAIZ :stupid:
