              any reviews on nation agency?


              do u all give ur maids a hp? top up card u pay or they pay? do u tink its necessary to do up a handbook for her to teach her on the appliances i hv at hm? first time employing maid in=)
              dont spoil her. Nearly all the filipinas come in with h/p so they know what to do, if no hp , dont encourage her to get one. My past and present know how to wait till pay day to top up. Ai yah, house rules are set by u not them.. u may regret offering her top up , there will be no end.
              Appliances? u ask her whether she knows, u can show her instead. What nation are u taking frm?

                My last filipina was old and really not worth talking about. So fter my last was sent back, I was so impressed with my current n shes been here like near 3 weeks, performance is good for hse work but does things her way and cant speak english well… but quite clean and neat, now slackening abit but thats ok with me. Just want to see how long she will last cos she seems homesick.

                  Agree. No need to give them HP. If they want, they pay topup card themselves. Better teach them how to use appliances yourself. Give manual later she don't understand how? House rules you set. But My case, my maid now 4.5 yrs. she never follow the strict rules anymore,but so long already so I also chin chye. Start strict then later chin chye easier. The other way round will have more prob later. Gd luck!

                    I believe Nation is also one of the companies which got fined for price fixing with I think 3 other companies (forgot who they are).

                        Hi, I only use Nation - Yishun branch (I think they just shifted to block 925 under the escalator?). Well established maid agency but can be more expensive.
