I may not give her advance pay also. Like you say, you should not be responsible for her bad finance management.
On the other hand, I will also consider how long has she been working for me and her job performance. If she has been great, I might consider 2 weeks. 4 weeks is certainly too much.[/quote]
Thanks TheAnswer! She hasn’t worked long and like I said, her cleaning is just ok. Even though her ironing is good and she’s always on time, I don’t want to set a precedent by giving in to her request. -

That seems pretty reasonable though I have to admit I'm not sure what is the market rate. FYI, my part-timer charges a minimum of 4 hours @ $60 and she doesn't do any vacuuming or mopping as I prefer to do it myself. HTH.Hi
Can I find out whether $55 for 5 hours job considered market rate or too high/too low?
It comprises of cleaning my 5-room HDB e.g. vacuum, mop floor, wash toilet2, iron clothes for 2 pax, wipe exterior and expose portion of sofas, cabinets, tables etc. and occasional clean windows grilles every 3-4 mths. -
Hi, anyone has a reliable (and legal) PT maid to recommend for Tampines area? Once a week, weekday. Budget is $10 to $12 per hr (if very experienced).
Please pm me. No agent please. TIA! -

hi,
i recently encountered this part time maid,who cleans my hse once per wk,has some habits which i am not sure if i shld continue to keep her…
1)she uses the rag n sweep the dust fr. table/chair.U can see a lot of dust esp. eraser debris which she sweeps fr my son’s desk. I’ve to walk carefully if not step onto the dust. I asked her why she sweeps to the floor,she said she’ll vacuum later.
2) After she finishes cleaning,she’ll use the toilet b4 leaving.Forever,she will not flush toilet after used.I asked her to use common toilet but she keeps using my room’s toilet.
3) she talks very loudly,keeps chatting with her earpierce while mopping/cleaning.Very interrupting esp when i am teaching my kiddo.
4)she uses one pail of water to mop the whole hse.ask her to change,she said no nid to change,save water.
her work is so-so. i am not sure if i shld keep her. -

No..I will not keep her. I hire her service for those hours so I will not expect her to use the phone to chat while working.hi,

TheAnswer,
She used the toilet in the common bedroom,not master bedroom.But I still find a bit uncomfortable,coz she didn’t flush afterwards.I’ve to flush after she leaves.
Is it a norm that the PT maid sweeps the debris onto the floor like hawker centre aunty?She wasn’t happy coz she didn’t wanna use rag,she asked me to give her feather duster,but i refused. -
I would terminate her services and look for another maid.
How can anyone tolerate a maid that pees and goes off without flushing?
She’s supposed to be cleaning for you, not you cleaning up after her.
Using only one pail of water for “cleaning” the whole house would mean that she’s merely transferring the dirt from one part of the house to another. She’s not CLEANING the house.
