      I didn't even notice she was braless until my husband told me. The beer was bot by her. My husband discovered it too. She was sent back since her contract was also up. In the beginning, she was also very \"kuai\" but after many off days she became like that. So, off days does influence maids. Its only a matter what is the degree of influence. That's why I say Philip maid do not surprise me with their actions. I have personal encounter.

      Braless = Jobless :nunchuk:
      Think it's good that you have sent that maid back. She's very daring and I can't help wondering what was her intention?? I would be able to close my eyes & ignore if she wants to do it outside....but to do it blatantly in the house, that's absurd!!

      Many years ago, one of my ex-maid (indon) also started going 'hiao' after I gave her some off days & time off. She would wear thin spaghetti straps and short pants.....but as she knew I was against it, she would wear a jacket and jeans over them and take them off once she's outside. I discovered it when she showed me some photos she took with her friends :faint: I also found some scratches on my 2.5yo DS and realised she had disobeyed my instructions to keep her nails short....the scratches were from her while trying to handle my DS. She was very unhappy when I asked her to trim them and questioned me with all the 'WHY I can't this & that'. Mind you, that was maid of 10 years ago....can't imagine maid from this era.....probably even more difficult to handle.

        Thanks smh forest! But those with ex- Arab experience will command higher salaries?


        Sigh. Like that, v hard to choose maids. Have to tikam again.
        hi omgmum, after my months of maid search... my conclusion is that its really dependant on the agency that you hire. some agencies, dont charge a lot more even if the maids are ex dubai, ex saudi etc... whereas some agencies will slap a higher pay right away as long as the maids are ex-(not in their home country)... i have no idea why either! 🤷

        getting a maid is indeed like tikam... i just knew that a neighbour's sil took a new maid recently too... and hers can cook, can look after kid w/o problems! so lucky!

              ...and then he had to use mop to clean up his saliva pool... :evil:

              this sounds funny....as long as it's not MY maid. 🦆

                Its definitely not my maid too…


                Seen enough of these hiao maids around. As a SAHM, whole estate surrounded by maids during the day so I normally don’t like to go downstairs with the kids if I have a choice cos I do not like what I see at times…

                    if she only work for 1 mth then u can transfer the remaining insurance and loan to another new maid but you cannot get the refund.

                      The contract for the insurance is with the insurer not the agency. They should refund you for the remainder of the policy but you may lose a bit.
