kelley,
well, if you're willing to give her a chance...go ahead
Anyway, passport/WP and things like that should be kept by you.
If I were you, I'd keep all her cash as well...it's one thing I would do next time if and when I have a maid. I don't trust them lah...
Also, if and when I have a maid, I'd get an indon from some sua pa and train her myself. I've had indon and philipino...I still prefer indon. But I have friends who prefer philipino, so it's just a matter of preference.
All the best!
Min,
Not that I'm looking, but ya, I'd usually call to find out things like schedule, what they do, what they feed, costs and vacancy. If interested, I'd go down to have a look and see, even if they don't have vacancy. But if it's just to check out the one at my blk, I'll just show up lor...they have a big banner along the road that says registration now open daily from 9 - 3pm...so I assume it's okay to walk in.
Even then, I haven't done it yet...
