Unless the work performance is satisfactory, I only provide food and sleep.

If maids buy with their own money, even shampoo will finish slower.
Since food and accommodation is already provided, maids should pay for their own toiletries, prepaid card and their personal stuff.

Hi


Thanks all for sharing.So it is not an obligation for employer to sponsor toiletries for the maids.
When their salary was $250, please buy for them. Now, salary is $500, they can afford to buy the brand they like. You may get her a welcome gift pack but after used up, she gets her own.

I use to provide for my previous maids as their salary is very low.

These days the maids are different generation, bunch of ungrateful people. Let them spend their own money.

My ex maid use skin care, sunscreen, ginseng shampoo that cost $23 a bottle, makeup… I think it’s better for maid to buy it themselves.

To me the FDW is an employee, not my child nor my slave.
So she buys her own personal stuff, of her own choosing.

I bought shampoo, conditioner, body foam, facial wash, for the helper. Brandwise is the usual stuff like dove, Pantene etc.

My Filipino helper likes to buy some of the Indonesian products like cream or medicated oil.
