Myanmar maids

[Coolkidsrock2]

Never encountered overseas experience fees but for the agent of my ex-Indon maid, she was paid the same salary as an experienced maid, regardless of country. Her experience was in Saudi Arabia where she had to perform housework, cooking and help out in her employer’s food catering business.


I understand that it is common for maids with experience in Malaysia and Middle East to multi-task between household chores and employer’s place of business.

I was puzzled at the fee too as have not heard abt it. If its not a norm in the industry then tis agency is really testing my patience.... :mad:

Are you sure that they are charging you $100 for an overseas experience fee? Probably what they are saying is that you have to pay the maid a higher salary because she has working experience. It would be normal to pay an experienced worker more than an inexperienced one.

But $100 more?

[piyobaby]

Yes quite sure, will clarify further wif them again. He explained the fee is for the maid who hv experience working overseas.

I am thinking to change our maid from Indo to Myanmar. I am expecting that Myanmar salary is lower. However, the agency told me that for Myanmar maid with experience, the salary is $480 and above. If no off day, $70 more!! :shock: Really? Then means Myanmar maid is actually not cheaper?

[doryfish]

Yes, is true. Their salary are not cheaper. However, be prepared, even though experienced, their cleanliness and performance in housework are not better than other nationalities. Only good point is majority not so outspoken. I have employed philippino, Indonesian and currently Myanmar maid. Make me most angry is Myanmar maid. You can repeat 10 times and they still forget your instructions. You must be very very patience with them. Of course there are some exceptional good one.

Now, all maids are about the same salary. Myan maids grate on my nerves the most. They don’t seem to have a grasp on what service means, what a maid does or how they should behave.

Myanmar maid are not cheap in fact. Actually they prefer to have higher quality of life. Also, they know how to use computer .

I feel that indo and philliphinos maids are better if you will like a maid do purely household chores.
