All About Part-Time Maids

hi peapot which area does the auntie stay? mind sharing? thanks
-
I use a local auntie (she’s about 50) and her asking rate is also $10/h, but I offered her a flat pay of $50 for 4 hrs because it takes her 40 - 45mins to travel from her place to mine.
She’s been very good so far and I’m quite happy with her. I tried hiring from an agency before, but I stopped the first helper after a month. She was a Chinese PR (which the agent kept emphasizing to me), kept requesting for change of timings (because she wanted to take on more assignments or wanted to slot 2 houses that were close in the are together) and took 4 hours to do the work that my current auntie does in 2hours. :x -
i''m also lookiing for a live out maid. cant handle the issue araising frm mil & maid
mil & maid jux simply cant get along -
Foreverj,
She stays in bukit Panjang. -
hi peapot thanks. then very hard as distance too far from me.

Hey no worries, I m also not sure if she still can accept new jobs. Though there seems to be a recession last year but the last I heard of her was that she’s extremely busy. I guess recession or not, people still want their house to be cleaned.

my friends and neighbour seems to use parttime maid that costs $12/hour

definitely. in fact, if recession and the women need to go out to work, all the more need to hire part-time maid to come in and clean the house. its definitely a more efficient way of managing our time. even as an SAHM, i wouldn't want to spend all my time cleaning the house vs spending the time wisely with my dd. i told my dh if i spend all my time cleaning the house, i might as well hire a maid instead of wasting my career right? he agreed right away

mine also but i usually give a bit extra. if 3hr i give $40. if 4hr i give $50. usually round off cos easier to give the money like that.. -
sometimes I feel the extra $10 (50 vs 40) makes alot of difference in their work attitude!
Well, at least it does for my PT maid!
