Myanmar maids
-
I agree totally on Burmese maids. I had bad experience that I swear off Burmese maids too. The good ones are few and rare. My maid is an Indonesian.

Was told by a Burmese maid that a lot of the girls that come out as maids aren’t really that poor. In their country it is nearly impossible to travel freely so becoming a maid is their way of getting out to see the world. Perhaps this is why they never see the need to finish their contacts. Most of my friends’ Burmese maids never finished their contacts. After about 1 year, they just want to go home.

agree, my last 2 ran away frm their aunties, parents not with them. I notice the younger burmese normally are quite naughty at home or parents arent with them , they seem to love spore and dont want to leave, mine was using spore as a shelter to avoid her parents, the other followed her friends here to look see,

No wonder both my maids aren’t afraid of quitting before end of contract. The first one went home after 6 months and the second one packed up her bag one afternoon and announced her decision to quit and return to agency on the spot. She had just worked 2 months for me.
-
I guess it’s a holiday trip. Just a matter of how long they want to take that "holiday"!
Anyway, the ones that are really here to work are hard to find. -
I guess if we look at the burmese that take off before end of contract, I notice are below 20, I may be wrong but those that ive seen that are really here for the money are 24 and above, unfortunately alot of the older ones didnt make it pass the english test.

My last one claimed to be 23. Nowhere near maturity to carry out work responsibly. Worse than the younger one before her. Worked only 2 months and prefer to quit and suffer another salary cut to agent for transfer than to save up the money.
-
The young burmese dnt really know much about money or rather they have not seen the full sum and is quite contented with free lodging and food plus free sight seeing on our expense. 20 dollars is a months salary for my previous maid in burma. I guess most of the young ones are earning thereabout or more so 2 months frm the agent is no sweat to them.

Looking at all the threads. It seem like the Burmese maids are no good. Is there anyone with experience of good burmese maid? I am looking for Burmese maid that live near the Chinese borders that can speak Mandarin so that she can communicate with MIL. My current Indo maid giving me problem as she often tell lies and argue with me and DH. And my neighbourhood has too many Indo maids so it is easy to get into bad company as taking care of elderly has a lot of free time.

I think it all depends on the girl, I think those frm Kaching may speak teochew or mandarin, problem is sometimes they do understand chinese but tend to claim they dnt know, the young burmese are just as bad telling lies and eventually they will still mingle with the other races and be influenced so not much diff, normally the burmese are younger than their age and easily influenced too. Perhaps the older ones will be a better choice, they seem more serious in working
