Myanmar maids

[moonee]

My relatives burmese is leaving tomorrow evening and shes 4 months pregnant, she just registered her marriage and held a ceremony last week and is off tomorow to see her family after 5 yrs. Well she spent some time training my relatives new maid. Alto the new maid has a wide experience behind her, my relative still trust her burmese , she has proven herself a trustworty person and alto she may not be the best in housework., shes the most trustworthy, she does not steal n is very straight. Sad loss but she really wants ahusband n a family all this while.

thanks 1amber, my nightmare is finally over. i should had taken a photo of my maid this morning. she took half an hour to do her make up, wear a red color dress with black stocking, and a new pair of sparkling shoes she bought yesterday. Big round earinings and necklace, carried a fashionable sling bag and her 15kg luggage with full bag of clothes she brought over from her home town last time. 2/3 of them i did not even see her wearing before. I bet no one can tell she is a maid. more kua chang than those filipino.


i roughly cleaned my house before sending my girl to her childcare. on the way to office, i told my hubby i felt so excited. he said with this experience next time must be careful. i told him no no, no next time, i will nvr ever want a maid no matter how. at least bermese is definitely a NO NO.

They can speak basic English but pronounciation is not very good, so sometimes may have some miscommunication. My current myanmese will spell for me, so I know what she is taking about. But after a few months, their English will improve.

It will be good to buy a English to Myanmese and a Myanmese to English dictionary. They are available at Pennisula Plaza. Each cost about $10. But this is needed for initial days only. After a while, you wont need it.

hi mommies,


For those of you who have experience with Myanmar maids, can kindly help to share some pointers, e.g. market salary, are they sticky with off-day arrangement, which are some good agencies for Myanmar maids?

Many thanks.

Rgds,
Ming

I have the same questions as Ming. Can anyone please advise? Thanks!

I left off burmese maids for the past year. I have taken 3 frm 2 different agencies.

Both agencies told me no off days so I just took it as that. Seems like the agent dictates whether they hv off days or nt, but I guess mynmars being new to spore dont know where to go.
I used United Channel cos they used to specialise in mynmars only n i wanted an agent that had someone who could communicate in their language, they had one lady in the katong brunch tho I took mine frm Bkt timah. I paid 340 a year ago and after the price fixing, all were quoting 400 but I bargained to 350.
Recently I heard my agent quoting 400 for fresh mynmars. He says tht the mynmar agents are pricing it as that so I guess thats the starting price today. I stop using Utd channel cos sometimes I had to wait for a month before the girl arrive or some excuses would be given that shes sick or too young to come in. There are a number of agents supplying mynmars and u should make enquiries. The last agent I used was called Check employment (small office ) on the 3rd level. Can try calling for jefferson. I took the last one frm him and was given only one biodata. Didnt use him again cos too far so I dont know how things are today but when i told him 400 was high he was ready to drop price.
