Myanmar maids

[luanluancao]

GreenBelt, glad to know you got a good burmese maid, so far i still think it is not a bad choice to get burmese, just need more patience with them.


btw, regarding the phone call to myanmar, i asked my maid to call her mum on the second day she came, using my home phone with IDD. she talked about 15mins and i think it cost me 20+. I told her that it is exp to call back even using phone card, then she told me calling from myanmar to singapore is rather cheap. so in the end, that is the only 1 time she called back, after that her mum will call her once in 2 mths time. of course the line is not very clear, but i guess since it is free to her, she doesn’t mind.

plus i bought envelopes and stamps for her to write home. her mother was super happy after receiving her letters with photos she took here with us. the only prob is she nvr received any reply from her mum even her mum had wrote her 2 letters.

luanluan cao , Which agent u got ur maid frm, 340 is an acceptable price to pay for a fresh burmese. I wouldnt mind paying higher like now but not for one that cheats steals and lies. Mine is young and perpetually taking anything she likes. She would try everything, stole my face serum cos she overheard its costly, drank up my dds vitamin frm gnc cos its sweet, drank brands essence etc the list goes on . Shes very short and cunning and bold but appearrs quiet. Ive got to hide my expensive cosmetics and use it when shes not looking. Time to change her, think i have to take any transfer maid soon.

hi Moonee, I had a friend who just started doing her agency biz. she had 3 maids in past 16 years, each of them had worked more than 5 years for her. the latest one is a very honest very nice burmese girl. i had to say my friend is a super experienced and detailed employer, she helped me screen through my maid, asked all kinds of questions that i can nvr think of, lol. (e.g. my maid had some scars on her arms, i noticed that but i did not question anything, but my friend immediately asked her what caused the damage, in the end find out she was burn by hot water when she was 2, my friend wants to ensure she had no complicated background). you can contact my friend at 98285158, her name is doreen. good thing is, they are very nice ppl, they try to charge lower fees to help both empolyers and the maid. but they only get bermese maid. hope you will find this helpful.

[happy to be mum]

hi moonee


your maid's description sounded so much like my good friend's maid i guess it is because they are country bumpkin, hence want to try everything. my friend's maid will eat up all the things in her son's goodies bags and when my friend not at home, will open the fridge to try different types of drinks.. my friend knows cause got CCTV. other than being greedy and always hungry, still ok, like a little kid

Lualuachao, your description matches my ex-Myanmar maid. She came with so much clothes and on off day she buys more clothes. She also put on weight. After having off days, she starts scouting for jobs because after 2 years contract she wants to come as ‘S’ pass holder. That’s when the nightmare starts for me. She wants off whenever there’s an interview and I had to take leave. Afterthat she behaves like she’s the queen. Luckily my mom was able to be on leave and came over to protect my turf! My husband was the one who send her off. I went to work and didn’t want to see her face. Since then I don’t feel hiring anymore Myanmar maids.

If you read my past posts, you will know what happen to my maid. These days I have a bad impression with Myanmar maids. I think a Myanmar maid is ok if you have someone at home. They can’t work indePendently unless they are armed with 3 years experience.

i guess every maid had their own problem, so my plan is very simple, change every 2 years, no matter how good they are. I don’t mind spending time and effort to retrain a maid. seriously, looking at my maid who worked for 9 mths, really she changed a lot. became so ‘daring’ and not scared of anything.


in fact agent is very impt i felt. my agent is the very soft type, very nice to the maids. so they had not been well trained before came to my house. but my sis’s maid, came from a very strict agent. wow, i tell you, scary man, they can only bring in 5 sets of cloths, no skirts at all. extra sets will be threw away by the agent. and some bought biscuits and bring along cuz they scared cannot get enough food from employer. but when they reached to employer’s house, that agent will check the luggage and threw the biscuits to dustbin. my sis had baby, the agent can go up to her house after 3 mths, and bring the maid for hair cut and let the maid pay for it. reason being employers with baby don’t like maid to have long hairs. true that i felt it is a bit too much. but the end result is, the maids are well trained. and you treat them a bit better, they really appreciate. not like my maid, she takes everything for granted. since so far she had only experienced the nice people around her.
