Everyone sleepy? That reminds me of an ex-colleague who used to go to the toilet for afternoon naps (he is a guy). Ha!

LTS, your maid dare to steal from you? Must sack. No excuse for stealing. You can try other recommendations if Bernard didn't reply you. Or you can send him a sms to see if he returns your call. First thing I tell my maids when they step into the house is - no stealing and no lying. If found...

cocomo, for babies, temperature above 37.5 degree then considered fever since their basal temperature is higher than adults. Looks like the suppository you gave her worked so just need to sponge her and give her paracetamol every 6 hourly or ibuprofen every 3 hourly (for higher fevers). Bring...

little twin stars, think you treat your maid too good until she takes advantage. Sometimes that happens with my first maid too to be honest. On these occasions I will reprimand her. So it's a bit like handling a kid - positive reinforcement for good behaviour and punishment for bad, My agent...

pinky, but I'm sure your gesture of buying something she likes to eat is greatly appreciated! I'm not saving need to give bonus but some show of appreciation goes a long way I would love to live with no maids if there is a good care giver for my kids. So have to leave my kids with the maids...

YLN, it's illegal to withhold a maid's salary. I may sound like a maid activist (I'm not... just a regular working mom with two kids ) but how would we feel if our employer tells us that they will withhold two-thirds of our salary and pay us at the end of our two-year employment? Won't we be...

Dongle, don't feel bad about sharing your maid problems here Think you should let your maid go since she already mentioned twice she wants a transfer and at such an early stage of her employment. This shows she is a quitter and it is not worth your while retaining her. For my first maid...

Silent reader of this thread (my son is also a August 09 baby) and de-lurking to share my experience with maids (I have 2 maids and the second one changed twice alone this year so I have a bit of experience in this area). krex78, responding to your questions 1) how much are you mommies...

Have a maid agent that I would higly recommend. Three other mummies from this forum have also engaged him at my recommendation. I have hired both my current maids from him - one very good on the first hire and the other one required a replacement but he did it for me promptly and waived the...

I remember one of the mummies here got the cleaning set, care to advise how much such a play set would cost here? Someone told me it goes for $400 plus. Is it true? Would only organise the spree if savings justified the amount of co-ordination work. Thanks so much

ValC, if you don't want to give increments, can also buy small gifts for them if there had an episode of 'outstanding' performance. Like, recently my new maid alerted me in the night that my boy was having a high fever. When my boy recovered, I bought 2 cute Disney watches for her daughters...

ValC, my 1st maid has been with me for about 18 months when I hired the 2nd maid. Then, her pay was only $340 (originally $330 but I gave her a $10 increment after one year to motivate her) whereas the new maid was paid $350 (agent said market rate went up) so I immediately gave her a $20...
