Hi Mummies,
I have started engaging part time maid last Jul. Started with a PRC lady but she stopped as she needs to go back to China to take care of her son. She introduced her friend to me and I just accept it. After 2~3 times, I found that this 陪读妈妈, Xiao Hua, she is worst than my first PT. At 2nd time, she started to complain about my iron, my son's room, vacuum, etc. Everytime when she came, she sure have something to say and comments. My house are very clean and neat actually and do not require much "hard cleaning". Basically, she just need to iron, wash 2 toilets, clean window(not everytime), cleaning of dust and mopping as I have vacuum the floor. Just want to share things that I do not like about PT maid. I'm not sure if this is common of some 'no good PT, but this is what I get :
- 50% clean, do not bother to move away anything that 'blocking her way' when cleaning dust. so the blocking part will always remain dusty
- No using any detergent to clean toilet but only little bit of JIF and not wiping the toilet window and door
- Do not bother to change water when mopping and do not bother to mop under the bed
- Never bother to open the fan but just the surface cleaning
- Never put back things to its original position after cleaning
- Not happy when ask to do non-routine even when there is still plenty of time left
- Most intolerable thing, she will just leave earlier by 20~30 mins even though it is not reaching 4 hours yet! Or even worst, came late, leave earlier. I paid $15 x 4 hours = $60. But looking at the quality job, I have overpaid her.
In case you are engaging the same PT as mine, you may start considering to change your PT. I do not intent to break people rice bowl but just to share my experience. Though the market is flooded with PT but it is always depending on how lucky you can grab a genuinely good one...
