Myanmar maids

[glendt]

I will check with her, I think she is paying around $200 plus. She says the maid is easy to train as in she will listen and not go wild but for cooking and housework need to train like xiao but finally she got it. So I am not sure if its worth the ‘xiao’

part.

I was shocked too…I check with her again, I remember that is what she said. I am paying my current maid $560!

$560! wow is that a philipina? anyway I think $200+ for a maid is almost unheard off these days.

I have had teachable and unteachable maids from indon and philippines. So far this burmese one I currently cooks best (teachable in that sense) but is so irritatingly forgetful in other areas. Likes to do things her way. To me that is difficult to train.


Overall, I am most stressed up by the burmese one, partly because I think she is too young.

Yes Mine is the same, couldnt cook when she came but loves my mums cooking, never eaten good food b4 so shows great interest in learning how to cook, claims she does not eat pork or beef but finishes every dish my mum cooks, loves to try everything,hates durians but never refuse any when offered...aaah!!. finally shes exposed to the real world, wants to try everyting. Forgetful? yes extremely. Judging her all these 4 mths, I notice that shes too young in carrying out a lot of simple household chores n yes the mynmars never fail to do things their way, downright stubborn too.
My ist mynmar was 29 but knew how to handle household chores even tho she spoke little english.,,,, frm my experience with 2 young maids and others who have mynmars that are of legal working age, the older ones seem to perform better but still stubborn.
The young indons are more flexible to change than the mynmars. I have to constantly remind my maid that shes now in spore n not mynmar. My conclusion....You can take the girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl.

Hi,

I have a question here… please kindly advise…
Let’s say you go to the agent and tell him you want a burmese maid, after employing for say, a month, can you say you want to change to indo/pinoy maid? or must you "stick" to burmese maid until end of contract?

I have not employ any maid yet, but trying to find out more…
Thanks in advance!

No need to keep 2 Yrs. U cn change to any nationality if u find t Burmese unsuitable … The only thing is sometimes agent may ask f a bit more money if y choose frm phillippines n she’s fresh.

No one is obliged to keep a maid 2 Yrs if she’s unsuitable

I am sending my current maid back. Cannot endure her stupidity and forgetfulness anymore.

I have never sent back any maid until recently. Even though the myammar maid I had was not very hard working, and did not keep my house clean, I continue to endure it. But something happen and we decided to send her back. And now I look back, it is probably a right decision. My house has been much cleaner now. The floor is nice to step on.
