Hi, I used to have a indonesian maid from west timor. I think it is very hard to judge their proficiency of English from the area they come from as it is individual language ability.

You can try speaking to the maid from the phone to hear her standard of english.

how was that one? Good?

That one? No good. Cannot speak simple english

Hi Mummy of 2,


Can I know the maid agency that you got your maid from? I recently decided on this myanmar maid but her passport is only ready by 14th Nov. By the time she reached my house it will probably be around 26th Nov. This is kind of tight for me as I need to clear leave by Nov so I would like to use this leave period to coach her.

I m looking around for myanmar maids but I got alot of young girls which I m not keen to take. I would like those above 28 years old and it seems really hard to find one!!!

Would appreciate if you can let me know your agency name inorder to cast my net wider.

Many thanks!

Oh yah, I wld to know abt the details too but mine is Filipino maid.

Also, can she renew her passport at embassy?

Hi kopiying,
Yes, she can renew her passport at the Philippines embassy. Take the passport photos there as there is a requirement on their background and clothes.
Please also take along her work permit and I think your maid needs to pay $65 to $70, can't remember the exact price.
Do log on to th ephilippines website for their operating hours before you go and be prepared to spend at least an hour there. Long queue always
FYI, it is very warm and stuffy there.

Thanks for the info!
So maid gotta pay for the renewal fees right? Nmind, will browse website for more info. anyway prob she wanna take home leave if she intend to continue working for us. Her contracts ends June 2010.
Not a perfect maid but as comapred to some, cannot hiam liao. moreover i'm home to monitor her.

My maid is from nation (toa payoh branch). You can look for Weiyi tel 63546324. For Burmese maid, usually the waiitng period is quite long, cos it takes quite long to process the passport.

Many thanks!

thks!! Didn't know Myanmar maid's passport take so long. How is Nation's service? I heard from some forum that it's terrible. I always wonder why some outlets has better service than others. Aren't all from the same boss? Its just like buying clothes from Zara, I get the same service regardless of which outlet I buy from. :?

Actually it's dependant on the staff serving you. My first encounter with Nation at Hougang Green was quite pleasant. But subsequent appointments were very disappointing (the original lady serving us transferred to another branch).

End up we did not get our maid from Nation as they caused us alot of unnecessary trouble & distress (without even getting a maid from them yet).

Plus I don't feel that it's worth paying so much in agency fee when my agent only charge us 1/3 of what Nation is charging.

Thks Tamarind and MrsWong


By the way, Mrswong who is maid agency? Is yours also myanmar maid? so far, hasn’t found a reliable maid agency. Sometimes, I feel that it seems easier to find maid than a good reliable maid agency. One who will not hide when there’s problem with the maid.

I also realise you need to call them frequently to get updates on new bio-data and status of maid. Aren’t they supposed to be calling us when they want business?
