I was looking for the brand of bedbug spray I used to use and chance upon this thread. I hate to say this, but it seems some of you have recurring infestations. My suggestion is this, if your maid just came back from a trip overseas and you find you have recurring bedbugs infestation, put her...

Or if u can convince another maid to take up her loan. I believe there are maids out there who lend money at a fee. But how legal is it im not sure. I think individual lending is fine.

Pinkdaisy, Do you have a agreement signed with her on the loan? If you have then its better for you. Some methods: Deduct directly from salary. But check on MOM website how much you can deduct per month. Get her to work on off days. Even if you don get the money directly, at least u...

Pink daisy, No need if you do not need to get refunds for loan or insurance. I just send my maid off. However, do note that u needto have air ticket particulars to cancel work permit. Usually approve within a day on MOM website. If your maid is likely to give you problems, I do suggest...

I feel there is no such thing as a good maid agency. Personally, if one gets a bad maid (unless the agency really screens the maid which is really unlikely and almost impossible for fresh maids), either have to live with her or keep praying the next one is good. With all the MOM rules and all...

Thanks for the reassurance. Yes probably will be fine

I will still feel bad if she loses money though I tell myself to harden my heart. But if it's not so dangerous for them to carry cash, then I decide how to go about this since new circumstances came up. i can understand how you feel. My maid is exceedingly selfish and lazy, plus nonchalant...

Normally, how much cash will your Myanmar maid on hone leave carry with her? My maid says she needs at least us$30 to travel from Yangon to Mandalay by bus but she lives further than that..

For those who have Myanmar maids who went back for home leave, have they met cases whereby their officers requested money from them? I sending my maid back for good this weekend but I would still like to do what I can to safe keep her salary. So if there are such cases, I can inform her so...

Btw, the exchange rate at peninsula plaza is at least 700 now. Just brought maid to send money as I'm sending her home. They do send to postal address. However waiting time can be half hour with no queue.

My maid will be going back in a week's time. I'm very happy and hopeful. I know it will be tough but still. My maid can work. But she has no fear of me, can see from the standard of work she gives me, not even half of what she does when hubby instructs. She can even speak reasonable...

I agree with Hilfe. My fdw is like Lyn, only slightly better. Another thing I realise, no point talking nicely about their mistakes. The only thing that works is scold them fiercely the 1st time they make mistakes. They remember it for life. Coz they will think, last time you only say ma...

Hi Nelle, Thanks a lot. This is really helpful. I will check with her agent.

Dear all, I need some advice. Do any of you know whether just based on postal address, can Myanmar maid send money back? My maid wants to send money back but there is no bank account.

Hi Michelle, I empathise with you. I have frequent severe back pain after giving birth. Personally I feel that once a maid thinks that you cannot for without her, they will behave badly. I have experience this with all my maids and the other thing Is, when they have been with you for long...

Nelle, Did you need to pay for the air ticket of the maid who stole? Did you need to pay for her lodgings? Or only make police report and sent her home? Want to know in case this happens to me. I would not want to send a maid who steals to the agent or give her a chance to come to...

I would have made her clean the dirty fish and cooked it while I keep the cleaned ones. But honestly, knowing my maid's standard, I would ask the fish monger to clean for me. I wouldn't give her lotion, except as a perk but I would give gloves. After all, I don't want her problem to be my...

Send her back meaning transfer or send her home. My maid has change and I know what I can do to have optimum or acceptable behaviour from her. I also told her I am not willing to pay for good food ( of course she still has acceptable and nutritious food, things I will eat myself), clothing...
