Hi Riveria, I'm not sure about the fees for WP renewal. I got NTUC to do this part for me. Just pay them alittle more and they will handle everything for you. Courier to pick up the documents from you and also once done, courier will also bring the documents back to you. All tog w the new...

Don't have to bring maid along with you when processing the home leave in Phil Embassy. Just make sure you have her sign on every page of the contract and all the relevant forms too.

Hi Cel Cel, If less than 2 yrs then have to let agent do it, its all part of generating $ for the agents lah. Why don't you postpone her trip back to after 23 Oct, after 2 yrs contract term with you? Then u can do it on ur own and don't have to waste $ paying agent. I planned it in...

Hi Cel Cel, This $600 salary and every sunday off thing is just something that most employers and maid will just sign off without the contract being legally binding. As in, there is an understanding that this is not the 'official' contract terms that you'll be going by. My maid did ask...

Hi Sankan, Well, if your maid does not want to come back, then no point keeping her. My maid also bargained with me for salary to be increased with every Sunday off, which I did not agree to the terms. I had to negotiate with her, counsel her abit here and there. She needs the $ to send back...

Hi Cel Cel, Well yes, there's savings of $ in the end. You have to renew her work permit first. I got mine renewed thru NTUC income paying alittle bit more and they will send courier to your house to pick up the forms and also courier the renewed work permit to you once its done. Takes about...

Hi Sankan, I went to the Phil Embassy to process the home leave. Took about 90 mins for the whole process. Had to go to 5 different counters in total, pay $42 for contract processing, then another $42 for authentication of contract. Then proceed to pay for OWWA membership, then pay $5.50 for...

Hi Sankan, I'm still in the process of trying to do the home leave on my own for my maid. If your maid is going back in Nov, you have to process the home leave for her, to get her the exit pass basically. So that she can leave Phil and come back to Sg. By Nov, if she is with you less than...

Hi Jacq, I'm trying to do the home leave by myself, rather than pay 300+ to an agent. I've read on the phil embassy website that we can do it without going thru the agent. The tricky point is about the 'valid employment contract processed by the Phil Embassy'. I think this is the tricky...

Hi Mums, I bought Ameda Lactaline pump and have been using it since 8 Aug. I pump every 3 hrs and just sterlise the funnels and bottles once a day. After each pump, I will just wash and rinse all the parts with water. Is that safe? I ordered the PP funnel from Mumsfairy just yesterday...
