Hi, my indo maid ask for transfer as she is always giddy if travel far. I am Malaysian and needs to always travel to Malaysia, so now looking for new maid.


My agent highly recommend Myammar maid because ;

1. free replacement, if take indo, needs pay another $600++
2. Can work without off day, indo maid now majority want at least a day off

My 2 kids are all in secondary school and my mum staying with me. My mum is fit and will do the cooking. Maid will just need to handle housekeeping.

All the while take indo maid as my mum can speak Malay. But since my previous maid left after with us 5 years, the last 2 maids both with attitude problem.

first maid ask for transfer because wanted to work at private house, i m living in HDB.
second maid which current maid, complaint travelling make her giddy and always talk back to my mum and ignore my mum even see her climbing high to take items.

Agent said Myammar maid only language problem but with good attitude, so i m keen but now my worries are the Myammar maid and my mum, will chicken and duck talk, then during the normal days, only the 2 at home, how to communicate ?

I have spent close to 1k for last replacement, if get indo maid again, another 1k and no guarantee will get good one, so is it a good idea to try out Myammar since is free replacement ?

Need advise, thanks…

Hi,


Pls help to advise on how to calculate the off day compensation to Indo maid. My agency said is $17 per Sunday. So if a month have 4 sunday means multiply 4 and multiply 5 if there is 5 sunday on that month.
Is this true ?
Her basic is $450
thanks.

nms1:

I would suggest that you take a trip down to Far East Shopping Centre on Sunday and just do the rounds of the agencies. All the transfer maids will be there for interview and you will probably be able to find one in one day. You must expect to have to give all Sundays off. Avoid those agencies with a lot of expats as the maids there will expect higher salaries. ADP is one of those.

Thanks for the advise, but needs further advise.
I still have balance 6 months loan with the previous maid, if changing maid agency, what happen to my loan ? Lost ??

Anyone have good recommedations, pls pm me…thanks

cool_hi:

Actually,I think maids have better benefits than those poor elderly who has to clean tables at foodcourts or clean toilets!!

ESP when maids dun worry about accommodation+food!!& their pay has been increasing by leaps & bounds!!
Can govt justify this!!?
Shouldn't Halimah look into our OWN citizens' welfare 1st??
If maids can't accept not having off-days,then just don't come here to work!
No indo/phiilipinos,then look for alternatives! India..mynmar..Cambodia..
eXPlore..Not Pamper!!
More than 10yr ago,indo maids r regarded as 'can't make it',& lousy,slow in learning etc!!
So what does that tell u???
Should give other nationalities a chance!!
Me +hubby had 1st maid fm indo,aft 6mths,caught stealing,though we were so nice to her!
Ever since,we only used Mynmar maids..they r also not perfect(no one is anyway),but at least I have no worries on stealing coz they r more honest..
& hardworking..& they haf kind heart,not vengeful type,I can leave my bb & young kids with them quite safely(after some months of training)..
& current maid which just extended contract,has never asked for off-days or Hp for past 2 years!!
I thank GoD for having her,though she does forget to do certain tasks on & off:)

I heard there are always language headache for myammar maid, how u handle this ? how long they take to understand simple english ?

My indo maid asked to leave as she wants to work on bangalow, am consider myammar maid but i have old mum at home that can speak just mandarin, any advise ?

I just sent my maid that worked with me 2 months back to agency last Sunday, she told the agency she afraid of high floor, which i am only at 6th floor. And she cried and said wanted to back immediate. Agent failed to convince her to wait for new maid arrival.


I m a working mother, now i got to work during the normal hours and manage my 2 girls and my mum rest of the time.

And still needs to pay the replacement fees and etc

help…!

My maid complaints that she do not wants to work with a house that got old folks, and ask to immediate back to agent. Now at home no maid, my mum alone at home when girls go to school. I am so worry, my mum is 60+ yrs old, still fit but no matter what old folk alone at home is at risk.


Anyone have maid to transfer, I am living at HDB 5 rooms, 2 adult, one grandma and 2 girls ( 12 and 14 yrs old).

HELP !!

Any update ? mummy, daddy or students ?

Pls share :thankyou:
