Hi i am new thus no idea how the reply works please excuse me 😅


But yes to those asking, I paid the agency $7,250 to be exact for the first one. When we sent back the first helper, we had to cash out additional $2,8++ if I remember correctly for our second helper’s air tickets etc.

I discontinued and blocked all contacts with the agency after an extremely terrible after service he gave us. We were very angry as we found out the first helper was already someone with attitude problem even before she got us as an employer but decided to give them a chance so got another one from them. When we called them to inform him of something the helper did, his reply was “i do not want to be involved and im sorry i have to end the call” when I confronted him for being rude he said he was really busy so hope I understand. 😅

Hi all. I am new here and would like to seek advice. I have a helper who is with me for a year plus now. Ever since the new FDW mandatory rest day, she starts becoming lazier.


A little background. This is our second helper but our first time having a helper. The first helper was sent back after just a month as she wanted to videocall her mom every hour apparently to help her combat feeling homesick but that does not work for us so we sent her back to agency, whom eventually also sent her back indon because nobody wanted to hire her. I am someone who does not order her around. Ive never scolded her before only my husband does the scolding and telling her off. We discussed what was required of her when she came and if there is an issue i will sit her down with my partner and have a talk. Usually 2 months once when i notice things are not done properly.

So this new helper primary jobscope is helping with children. I have always cooked and helped with housechores but 6 months into working here she said she felt uncomfortable so i stopped helping completely just focus on children. She initially was okay but changed after having off days. She starts waking up after me at 9 -10am despite going to bed sharp at 9pm. She no longer prepares breakfast for my kids. She even make faces when i asked her to help with the children at the indoor playground while i settle groceries. We warned her of sending her back twice on different occasions and she is still okay. There are days she is ok there are days she is not but when asked she said all is okay. I tried to talk to her and still the same. We did not mistreat her, She has comfortable bed and turns on aircon everynight. She eats whatever we eat. We bought her stuff she wants including her personal stuff. What should i do? Reason why we have not sent her back coz we are waiting for the contract to end and also coz we spent close to 10k to get a helper. The first one was close to 7k. This current one we added 2k for her to come.

Would changing her off day to weekdays helped? Although it is none of my business I feel like the people she mixed around with may have made her turn like this. She is very young first time here too.
