Hi Mums,


I have arranged for my son to attend Berries N1 Trial Class at the Tampines Junction Branch this sat.

1. Does any parents have any feedback w.r.t to the Berries at Tampines Junction?
2. Anyone has any referral to give me? Pls PM me!

Appreciate much!!

I think it depends on your needs. What is of priority? Childcare?, Elderly care or household chores?


In terms of nationality, it all depends on luck. I've heard good maids as well as not so good ones from different nationalities. I think the maid's character and upbringing is important and I understand its v hard to determine it via face to face (web cam) or telephone interviews.

However, I feel what you can do is get the maid in but you must set clear expectations and guidelines, including frequent feedback on performance. Thereafter through observations to slowly suss out the maid's personality and character.

GOOD LUCK. :xedfingers:

Hmm then I must haven been not updated. In 2006 a friend of mine enrolled her son in the d'story club and she mentioned pats used jolly phonics. thanks jet setter for the update.

Pat’s schoolhouse uses Letterland? All along I thought they used jolly phonics.

Hi Mrs Ang,


Your Phil maid can go to a remittance branch.
Ameertech Remittance & Exchange Services Pte Ltd (http://www.moneytransfer.com.sg)
Pay2home http://www.pay2home.com/
or Western Union
http://www.westernunion.sg/en/

If your php helper has day off she can go lucky plaza to queue at the banks (PNB etc). There are many php banks there. But the queues are very long if its a weekend day off.

However, my helper told me she'd rather use Ameertech branch near my estate to transfer money to her family thru BDO a/c.

The exchange rates and remittance charges differ across the remittance companies. So you helper may want to check first. Usually they will require the workpermit and you fill in a piece of paper when you remit. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! :love:

You are welcome!

Hi all,


I want to renew my maid who has been with me for 2 years. Can I know :
1) is there new minimum salary that I need to pay for Phil maid. Her previous contract amount is $420.
2) I will let her go back for 2 weeks in December. Do I need to pay her salary for the 2 weeks ?
3) any other things to note ? Thanks.

1) I think its negotiable but gd to check the market rate.
2) I think you need to check the contract. Typically, I think after end of 2 yrs you need to pay a bonus.
3) Better to ask a few agents to find out the procedures? Unless you intend to renew WP yourself.
