I usually give them a small increment just to reward and motivate them. If your maid demands you to match the market salary of their friends, to me that is a warning sign already.

I recommend you to try Best Helper Pte Ltd and look for Mr Phng. I got my maid from them, so far so good.

Good luck!

I think really depends on luck lar. My Myanmar helper with me is really not bad. She took a little longer to learn and adapt but my observation is that Myanmar maids are more obedient and loyal.

Agree very much that getting a helper is all about luck. Tried all different countries helper before. Perhaps the agency that you are using is more important. They must be there if a problem arises. You can try Best Helper @ AMK, got mine there, so far so good. Good luck.

You are try Best Helper @ Amk, i know they are quite thorough in interviewing the maids. Good luck.

I have also tried many agencies before. I would recommend the agency i am using currently, Best Helper @ Amk, they were always there when i faced problems with my helper. Look for Mr Phng, very good after service. Good luck.

I was thinking of getting a Myanmar maid. After through this forum. I'm abit scared to hire now

Just understand hiring a good helper is about luck. I think more importantly is the agency you are engaging. The agency must not shun away from problems if you face any. You can try Best Helper @ Amk if you are considering. They were very helpful in my journey of hiring my helper. Good luck.

I agree very much that hiring a helper is about luck. Had my fair share of bad maids and bad agencies as well. I think what is important is that the agency you are using must provide support when things do not go as plan. You try my agency if you intend to hire a helper, so far they are reliable and responsible. Best helper is the agency i am using. You can try asking for Mr Phng (8660 5975) he is the one that serves me. Good luck!

I just sent my 8 months Pino back. She was complaining of chest pains and requested to go back...Anyway, attitude not very good, at times rude too. So don’t bother to bring her for checks.

1 week later, I received a letter of demand from a moneylender. I totally freaked out. This is the second time. First time gave a story that she was duped by Sister to borrow. After which, sis go MIA. Took pity of her and also worry that moneylenders would harass our family(safety of the kids when we are working) so settle for her first and deduct from her pay. And we really thought she learnt her lesson.
I was a total loss when I saw this letter. Made a police report but to them, is for reporting purposes:(
Was told that we will have to talk to the moneylenders ourselves and informed them that maid had left. I don’t have to pay for them right? Anyone has any experience?

I heard of friends that faced the same problem and i think its extremely unfair for us employers to bear be responsible for it.

I agree very much with you abigail. Helpers are human after all and most of them reciprocate the kindness and trust you give them.
