A friend of mine has a helper who doesn't want off day (to go out) too, but just wants Facebook. My friend and hubby was more than happy to oblige. Her hubby even bought the helper a cheap phone with wifi and let the helper do just that on her day off. Good at cleaning and giving basic care for the kids but still working on the cooking bit. 4th month now.
Not all employers are comfortable with helper having a mobile phone plus Facebook time, but so far quite a handful of frenz or relatives with helpers that I personally know don't mind this arrangement.
Would like to hear your thoughts.
No weekly off. Only Facebook time. -

I asked a few agencies, the maid salary is min $450 with 1 off day. Not sure how the salary will be next year. If you don’t match, your maid might not want to renew, and you have to pay exorbitant agent fees to hire a new one.

Dawnie, $450 is for experienced maid?

I ask MOM and maid agencies what if the new maids come from kampung area and got lost during their outings. Their reply is dont worry, they will arrange their outings. I read a news article a few wks ago that the govt has even prepare the shopping area/venue for their gathering, somewhere near central east. New maids are gullible and should stay away fr such place…bad influence.

$450 is the salary for new Indonesian maids. Mynamar maids may be a bit cheaper. You have to pay a bit more for experienced maids. It is sad that I dont trust new maids anymore.
