All About Full-Time Maids

I just got a new maid whom was here for 3 days and ran away from home to agency today! She fell down the stairs when missed her steps and claimed damn painful and I brought her see doc spent $113. Then today she fled out while no one is at home. The reason she gave agent was my landed house too big for her to handle but in fact she only need clean the house which is 2 rooms and one toilet, living room and kitchen and no need to cook! The rest Of housework my mil will do herself cos she dont like maids tocuh her stuff. The new maids are so lazy and still demand higher pay.

I agree, my new maid gets paid abt $100 more than the previous maid, yet she is MUCH MUCH lazier. She can see the dirt of the wall, my sons and myself commented about it yet she only cleaned them when we asked her to do so. We noticed some things she will only perform when specifically asked. otherwise she will not do them at all. haiz...

I don't think this is a good idea, just in case she gets into trouble or vices. However, it all boils down to trust. Do you trust her enough to do the right thing?

You need to write in to MOM that your maid ran away and the reason why she was transferred if not you will be have one record in the MOM system. That will hinder your furture application as only allow 4 FDW within 12 months. The fifth one will need to go class and attend Employer Orientation programme. The government do not protect us but very much protect the FDW.
Nowadays maids cannot compared to the olden days. They are very selective,lazy and cunning. Ran away, cried , making up stories to get transfer.
Then who suffer? It's US , employer! We have to pay and pay to the employment agency. Sigh...
I always advise my friends that if you do not have someone trusted to look after your children, better not to have too many. Government boost to have more birth rates but we encountered problems with maids' issue, it is always the employer at fault.

Totally agree with you, 3flowers. Employers like us are not protected at all here, unlike in HK or Taiwan. That’s why I decided to downsize to a smaller home and do without a maid. And I am much happier now, even though I am now the mistress as well as ‘maid’ of the house.

Hi,


Anyone has problems with selecting maids? I really dunno which country maid to employ.

Any suggestions?
