<![CDATA[Pretty maid with phone addiction.]]>I think, you are too patient with your worker. She has to understand that at work she must be busy with work questions. She has time to meet with her boyfriend or to talk with him by phone after work but not during it. I would recommend you to find another worker who will not be slow and who will bring much more use for your company.

phtthp:
She won't stay long in her new job, because there is something wrong with her. Wherever she go, her \"problem\" will surface. Her new boss can't take it, will let her go again

Yes, you are quite right.
How can anyone be ok with maid never switching off fan, light, bang the door everytime open and close. Water on 24 hour as if she owns water board, must iron with aircon on and fan. Break coffee machine and 2 new iron as she must put highest setting with full steam which ruin clothes. She must cook fresh rice for her lunch even though rice left over from night before. Must hire a separate baby sitter at resort for baby as she too busy flirt with other men, if one visit singapore then she need to go out to be dinned by holiday hook up men.
Must give $ 600 angpow for every occasion in Singapore and payed holiday minimum 1 times a year because her cousin gets 2 holiday.
Don't want to cook too much but want eat her food how she want and help herself to your food in the house.
2 people in their 60's will be really ok with this behaviour ?
I don't think so. SHE influence all family maids with $ 600 angpow or $ 1000 every year so I'm waiting to see what happens..

She lied continuously until her last day, pretend to see agent and left with suitcase but didn’t come back and went new employer house when MOM. Hasn’t approved yet! Lucky for her it was approved in the afternoon or I was planning to report her!
She put on her face book saying " finally free from abnormal boss"
" happy to live in ORCHARD CITY, FREE WIFI"
She came back to collect rest of her things and get her final salary, I thought about telling her off about her actions and why bother to accept all my designer Gucci bag, brand new dress from Europe, angpow on her birthday, presents bought for her daughter ? Why behave so cheap with different men and dare to call us abnormal?
Then I calmed down and thought no point, this women will not understand anything unless some misfortune befalls her. Right now she got her sister’s boss family paying for her vacation home before her job even began.
They will find out truth about her soon enough as she is serial job hopper and must go home every year…

She so disobedient, vain, cheating, no heart to do work in your household, in \"ROD\" mode, just release her fast


a maid with such attitude has absolutely no reason to allow her to transfer. if she has finished paying her loan, send her home...I believe she is buying time. buy her a ticket and send her home...but don't tell her anything until 3 hours before departure.

If it was another house with kids or elderly then I'd send her back home but even I send her back her employer will bring her back anyway. I really don't want to waste money on air ticket and find an agency who can help repatriate this maid.
Just must be 忍耐..... More paitience. Cross fingers only few more days.

Most agency contract will end when the maids had finished servicing all her loans.
You can check with your agency on that, and see if there is any penalty for canceling and sending her back, tickets I trust that you have to bear for it.

As I suspected agent just sent me an email, saying as she was due medical transfer will be delayed!! OMG…
She borrowed a loan which I kept record of on her salary pay sheet, today she tried to argue that she was entitled to more money! Date and how much borrows and deduction is there and she signed it every month!
I honestly can’t stand her lying and cheating, she was so well behaved first 3 month then little by little demand and show bf’ and phone trouble, locking her bedroom door every time even middle of day!
I don’t want send her to agency as we won’t be able to send her back if this transfer falls through then I am stuck with her at agency paying her 1 month stay. Not worth my money to send her back, even 10 cent is too much for her.
She really played me, telling me how awful her life has been and her husband has another women and how much she still love him. I bought her kids presents, her endless stuff of branded clothes.
I think I aged like 10years because of her!
If her transfer falls through then 1 way ticket with cheapest airline for her!

I employ very pretty married ( separated now) phillipine helper.

After couple of weeks of adjusting she seemed to be ok at first, now 6 month on she is constantly on the phone, she is very open about her use too. My problem is that I need to rtn to work in 6 month and my baby will be 2yrs old then. I worry she might run off to meet her bf... Or bf's...
She is open about her bf too and I can't stop it as its her life and I don't have a problem if she can do the job.
I don't know if I am being over anxious about my helper doing silly things because of her bf's.. ( got few..)
Her work is slow but I can close one eye.. She is timid compare to other stubborn helpers.

Can someone let me know if their helper was ok with similar problem looking after baby alone?

I have no family who can keep an eye other then 93yrs old amah who live too far and of cause too old..

To update, my maid told me she wants a transfer, she told me her sister and her cousins helped her!
New employer to be is her sister's boss mother in law and because my maid's sister is a good girl they seeked out my maid not knowing she has many bf's and bit stupid..
They are even sending my maid on holiday before she starts her job with them, not knowing she is a serial job hopper ( 3 years and on 4th employer now, which I didn't know..) and next year before 1 year is up she will ask for home leave again.
Maid super happy with new deal, 2 people only, off every weekend and holiday before job starts! She said no need to cook!,
I hear her new boss has asked her sister if my maid can cook and two sisters argued !
Not my problem anymore... She has been so lazy and disrespectful since she demanded transfer, hassling me for release!,
Omg I want her gone but her employer taking time.
I would have sent this one back but she would have come back anyway as employer asked for her.

Tell her a date that you will cancel her permit, get ready all her salary and average air ticket money..... let her go hassle and quarel with whomever about her new job.

Has any agreement being signed?
This kind of ‘ROD’ mood is hard to tolerate. Give her a deadline for transfer, otherwise go home. If her new employer really wants her, apply formally to return. Personally, I will not keep a 饭桶…especially if she is rude.

I get so angry !@#$%^&*##@@....told my husband off...you forget the maid levy?....I spend my time training and teaching..... When there is no maid, do you ever feel sorry, so poor thing for me when I do all the chores? ...Do you ever offer to help me? When I ask and you do lift a finger to help, it comes with charcoal black face and muttering under your breath@#$%^&#$*


All the maid has to do is learn, follow instructions and clean, look and see if stuff is clean, if not clean...clean until looks clean, no bad smell.

What is so difficult, housemaid job is such and the maid knows what job she applied for.
my husband once told me the maid had to leave her family in Indonesia and work overseas. I told him the money she sends home when converted to rupiah is A LOT.

what about the repeated training to teach maid from scratch? like washing clothes, mopping floor, cooking etc? employers have to house maids, pay for their food and accommodation and put up with their attitude. if they come to Singapore, hong kong or anywhere to be a maid, they have to know what is expected.

Suppose you have cancelled the maid’s work permit 2 days ago. On the day of flight, you tell the maid she has 30 mins to pack and leave for the airport. If maid just run out of the house…

what should you do? What happens from there?

Filipino maids who work for these employers sure kenna jialat if they cut corners.


there was once hubby & I sent the maid to the airport. hubby 'child-locked' the doors at the back in case the maid went :siao: on the way to changi airport. after we discovered this pick-up service, no way will I send them off personally again.

my hubby is soft-hearted. if I want the maid out, it meant she pissed me beyond my tolerance...so forget about crying and drama, it will not work on me.

Filipino maids think too highly of themselves. they are just maids.

they love to work for angmohs because life is easier....cooking is simple, cleanliness is minimal, lots of freedom, can run errands like going to cold storage and take cab home, and kids to/fro school.

the day I send maids home, hubby takes leave to look after kids while I tell her to pack up. she so damn drama...cry till mucus and tears fall like tap water. hubby said I am so 狠. told him she forced me.
the last 1 made me so pissed that I am willing to pay the pick-up service to send her to the airport.
see that she only takes her own belongings. don't allow her to leave her things behind or she will sue the employer.
I will have to ask my husband to tell... I can't stand drama or crying.
In laws always use agent to send maid back ( only those who stole or went crazy) more then happy to pay pick up service, I'm scared maid jump from car.

On easy angmoh thing, my friends who are very high class English Tai Tai they are very very fussy and like it clean and neat like 5* hotel...
One lady I know gets cleaner to Starch Linen towel... Very strict English. Iron and fold so neat you can cut your finger...
I don't think any of maids I know in Singapore will last a day in these houses.lol
On flip side there are very dirty people who never wash curtain for 10-20 years...

You are her employer!!! Would you say all these personal things to your boss?

I think she might feel that you are quite weak and she is preping you as to what she intends to do...... carry on with all these men. Best to send her home.

Wow, how come you know?..
Yes, you are quite right in catching that, even just by reading post thread...
Maybe partly my fault in being overly nice, I was brought up to be extremely polite by my super strict parents and growing up in a country where good manner is a must....I didn't realise a maid will milk my kindness and they think I am an easy employer to push her demands.
My 1st maid and amah's maids have confided in me about their family situation but not like this one.... :pokeeye: after bf number 3 was mentioned it was a struggle to maintain a smile on my face.
I know what everyone here is suggesting, unfortunately her aunty? Works for HOME? knows her right and talk about running from airport if it ever happen to her. She said a maid can refuse to go back... :siam:
