Emma, better clarify with MOM if employers are allowed to "claim" passport renewal fees from maids under the new employment terms.

mummy_tang, huh ??? she washed and then what ? hang and dry ?

Cutie...she is an old bird already. You can't possibly stop her from having HP if you want to employ her. Good that she has finished contract with her 2 previous employers. In the end, it all boils down to how mature and responsible is the maid. My first phil maid, she has HP (in fact we gave...

Babycutie, I understand from my previous indonesian maid that Independence Day is a very big thing back home. In Singapore, there is a also some celebration going on at the Embassy on this day. In fact I was my neighbour's maid who told her this, and asked her along. That was her 1st day off...

yesterday papers there was a report on maid abuse. There was a description of a potential maid abuser....wow, I think I fit that profile leh. Stressed with work, kids, school work, aged parents.

1 week into the new maid... I realised that whatever we told her, although she said she understood, but actually she did not. 1) Told her and showed her specifically not to use brush to clean my master toilet (marble foor), but can use on the other common toilet (ceramic). On first day...

Liana, I like your style. This is my home, do it my way !

Ivy, yes she finished loan. She brought home more than $1k (maybe $700 less the ticket). Maybe that's good enough for her. But I am surprised the agent didn't fight for her right. May, think she is already "xin(1) hui(1) yi(4) leng(3)". I have been saying things like she is not suitable...

called the agent and found out that my ex-maid bought the air ticket from her own pocket and has gone back to Myanmar. ...I feel a bit bad now...'cos we should be the one paying for her, since we terminated her contract. Luckily we have paid her extra half month, still can offset a bit.

Ivy, Tamarind, Sent home ? can't be, wouldn't the agency charge me for the airtickets ? Suspect the new record for the new employment will show up in 1-2 days. Will update you all.

Check with you all, I sent my ex-maid back to agent on 28/06/2008. Today I checked WP online, it shows that her 3rd employment (me) ended 30/06/2008. Does that mean she has found a new employer ? so fast ? Kristen mum, my ex-maid likes instant noodles. She can eat 3 packets at 1 go. We...

May, On Sat, I got ready to bring my kids for enrichment class. Then I told my maid to "Go take a shower and pack your things. I am sending you to the agent". She stood quiet for a few seconds and asked "Why". I replied "you need to go for re-training". I told her calmly, no raised voice...

Jenny, your maid sleeps at 11pm and wakes up at 6am ? that's less than the 8 hrs stipulated in the contract. My maid rests before 10pm, and up by 6.30am. Mummies, I have returned by myanmar maid to the agent. I gave her 30min to pack. She said nothing. I was surprised. I had expected her...

Wendy, I go for (B), provided she has good learning attitude. Can understand logic, and apply the principles correctly in different situation. I super cannot tahan my current maid. She can place container cover away from container itself. Keep brush in fridge. Keep empty mug in fridge...

Wendy, My maid doesn't use the washing machine. Resonable for clothes to dry in 6-hrs with sun.

Babycutie...you are also changing maid ? Me too. I have just confirmed a transfer maid from Nation. She has worked 1 month with a Chinese (from China) family. So communiation was a problem. I met her and interviewed her. She is married with 2 kids. She could understand my English. I think...

Nellu...totally understand what you have described. Me the 过来人. Now I just choose to ignore her. Things not done properly, just throw it back to her. She greet me I also don't reply. I just super boh chap her. To the extend that I am avoiding contacts with her, I bring my children out all...

Wendy, Have you ever wonder who was the photographer ? Which probably means she brings in friends while you were away. Scary right ? Jo, My maid will literally squat in front of the oven and watch the chicken being grilled. And also stared hard at the fish being fried. I asked her if the...

Thanks nellu. Have decided not to take her. Have also found out the maid I have selected failed the "mock" English exams in Indonesia...that's why delayed....errrh

Hi mummies, Agent called to say there is new maid available. She is 24, 145cm, 40kg. College education, has 2 years experience in Kuwait. Feedback is that her English is not bad. Should I take her, instead of waiting for the previous one I have selected ? My concern is her height. Is...
