can i ask, to send maid back, do i need to be at the airport with her (since she is hired under my name)

If you are doing it yourself, make sure she clears customs and immigration, ie past the clear door and the first officer there.

If your agent is doing it for you, no need to be there.

I usually ask the agent to send. $50.

hi LOLmom


I'm also interested to find out which agency you are using. Seems like a good agency is also hard to find. My previous 3 maids were all from 1 agent, which despite giving me good service and refunded me after all the 3 maids problems, i have to say their maids from Indo got no QC.

Hiaweh:

All my maids can cook. Now this new one is more of a veg person which suits my dd very well. Both can discuss what to cook. She is 30+.

I was there to interview another Filipino but agent passed me a few more and her ability to speak chinese plus a bit more health conscious sense won me over.

The one I was there to see is okay. 2 years here and finishing contracr

Which agency are you using?

This is my first time using this agency. All my previous maids were from another agency. Unfortunately, I can't find a maid I like from the latter.

This agency is super employment specialist at far east shopping centre.

I am not an employee or shareholder of super. I dont even know if the after sales service is good or bad.

Anyway, I used netmaid.com.sg and got this agency.

Normally we See our Maids OFF ....
Till she Enter the Glass Enclosed Security Area for Custom Clearance.

If U R Not Free, Can get your Family Members, or Trusted fren to Help Out

Assuming, her WP has been Cancelled.
And Make sure She has her Exit Immigration Special Pass with her. (Issued upon WP Cancellation, Can Print from WP onLine)

Thanks dear. Initially i tot i wont be able to make it, have to ask DH to send her back, but now i change the ticket date for her, so will send her off

Hi LOLmum

So yr maid is changing fr working for expat to working for a local Chinese family…not so common right? Must be quite a tough expat to work for. Most of the time we heard of experienced philippino maids changing fr local to expat and not vice versa. Mine went to worked for expat after 8yrs and the last we saw her, she got lots of pimples on her face …stressed? If I will to throw in the towel, it will also be like u i.e. the food as we also eat in 90% of the time and I do not like to cook.

[LOLMum]

bread and muffins (yummy yummy),


I don't think expats pay higher rate. Despite the slamming from them about us paying peanuts, most I am sure pay the same rate like anyone of us.


Expats are not easy to dork with. they are fussy and demanding too. But if the expat is non English speaking, :faint: even worse. Moreover they can be here today and gone next week.

I think one if my expat tenants has changed a few maids in the last 4 yrs.
