All About Part-Time Maids

[Angelight]

Anyone knows about this guy Raynoid, who posted something abt a part time maid named Ah Khim in this thread some time ago. He may have privately pm-ed some of you as well.


The strange thing is that when I called the mobile number he gave, there was no answer at all, regardless of how many times I called. But shortly after, I started getting sms-es abt part time maid service, apparently thru a maid agency.

I suspect this Raynoid guy may be using a non-existing ‘person’'s number to lure us to call, then collect our numbers and send spam sms-es for part time maid services. Can Mods pls take note? Anyone has similar experiences pls share…

There are some http://findananny.sg here. Put your postcode into the search field at the bottom of the map and it will zoom into the general area. You can contact them directly without going through an agency.

Anyone tried findnanny.sg before ??! how will their services be ?

Hi


Anyone ever engage any home cleaning services from Glory Home Services. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Like to share my experience with A-Team Amahs & Cleaners which I engaged during last quarter of 2012 to find a part time maid.


When i first contacted the company, I was advised that their cleaners were all experienced and had been with the company for years. I did not expect anything less since I had to pay a premium agency fee and weekday hourly rate. However, the first cleaner I was assigned with revealed that she had barely 6 months of experience. We were willing to give her a chance although she required supervision. But on the 5th week, she simply didn’t turn up, no notice was given. The second cleaner was more experienced. Still, she burnt my husband's business pants on her first day and her attendance was unsatisfactory. I had a bad vibe when this 2nd cleaner mentioned that the agency always turn to her to take on urgent cases and indeed when I called her (Malaysia number) on the morning of the 5th week to check if she would be coming to my place that day, she told me that she could not work for me anymore as she had a chronic health problem and needed to rest.

After all the inconveniences and disappointments, I do not wish to try out a third cleaner from the agency. Anyone would demanded for a refund and walked out of a restaurant if it serves you a dish with inedible stuff in it for 2 consecutive times. The premium agency fee of $308 for hdb 5 room housing type was not worth it. The hourly rate for cleaners is definitely on the high side at $15 per hour on a weekday. This agency also collects a fee from cleaners so it is not penalised when clients request for replacements. As employer, we did our part by tidying up our house and making everything possible for our cleaner to perform her job with ease. However, we had to bear the consequences, 4 times in 10 working weeks, of absentism without notice or at last minute notice.

Anyone has similar experiences to share?
