Rach,

yup that was me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

I've had maids before my first boy was born. So I prob used to getting experienced maids. The learning curve is much faster. the current maid may be a bit blur & forgetful but I give her the benefit that she is new to spore and our ways. if she had not shown she wanted to try and learn + plus the fact she is try to do more work then maybe I would have found a replacement by this month to change her. she's got some way to go in terms of cooking. but lucky she has won over my boy, which has helped us a bit.



all the best with your new maid! I've dropped my expectations a lot over the years. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] usually as long as they dun give big probem ie. boyfriend, stealing, disrespect, rough with kids.. give some time and chance first.



bb rabit

where is your maid from? i think its hard to find maid who can get along with us as well as my mum/mil. i notice maids give problem to our elders when we are not around.



angelia,

I think maid from Indon or Philippines all also can. I've had both before. Mainly depends on individual. For me I need one that can speak and read english. doesn't mean that come from fili can speak english. must really interview and judge for yourself. but quite a few indon cannot rea but they are very good at TAlking (on the phone)hahahha

 


Good morning.



Mummies attending the high tea gathering this Saturday, sorry to advise that I won't be able to make it now coz my hb has a company function this Saturday afternoon and he needs me to go with him. Please drop my name out of the list, so sorry. Hope you gals enjoy yourself.

 
Morning mommies,



Still on maids and MIL topic, keekeee..



By the way, any mummies shop in Gmarket.com.sg

Isit cheaper than we buy from BP in SMH?

 
Jaime> depends if u are getting indo or phili maids..

I first went to agency on 1st Oct...

And she's supposedly coming next week.. If she has passed her medical.. Agent will call me today and update me...

That's abt 7-8weeks for me...



Bb went to the agent later than me... But got her maid this week.... So it's about 4-5weeks for her I tink...

Hers is indon maid...



That's cuz of the phili new law... Many admin procedures to clear and higher agency charges also...



My Agency fees:

Indo maid: $288

Phili maid: $488



Not sure abt other agency's charges...

 
Butter8 : hahahah ! All Maids are good in talking over the phone mah ~ LOL ! Indo maid are okayy ? i heard from my friends that Indo maid abit scary de leh ~ They can do stuns to bb when you're not around ~ i hear liao also scare ~ =.=

 
wah today's topic about maid?

yesterday my aunt called, she helped us to get our current maid which stays at mil side...coz now we getting another for ourselves, she also helping to screen n select

finally we have selected a maid, philippino, new & 1st time to work. if everything is ok, we will be getting her in december (exactly when oso dunno)...



rach

maid agency fees for my case is 388 ley...

 
Getting a maid to fit into our hse is nvr easy since they share diff cultures. Anyway I dropped my idea of getting a full time maid. I will rather pay for a part time to come over 3 times a week since I have bad experience w maid



But no matter how- I still believe that we cannot nvr let them alone w our kids- still nid a old ppl to see them

 
Busy mrn, cme back ltr to ctach up the post.

Xiaofeizhu- Yes, 15% on all items, including sale. The barrow street anabel baby bag only left black and white, my 2nd choice. Me die die must place my order tonite before it even goes out of stock!!!

 
Pixie> ya Lo... Good for u...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



agent just called!!!!! Maid's medical cleared!!!!! Yayy!!!!

He sad earliest this week, maybe Friday, Saturday... Else next week!!!! Depending on air ticket... Woohoooooo!!!!!




My agent said the admin already cost $400++...

So half half between agency and us...

So we gotta pay $200 more than indon maid Lo....



Anyway, all proper legal documents done then good...

Cuz he said some agencies can just bring in maid other ways without doing the POEM (or something like that... Can't rem the name...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif])

 
BB Rabbit - I m one of those interested in KS bb bag. Is the 15% sale only for yesterday? I just went into the site and don't see it anymore... ):



xiaofeizhu, i also heart the barrow street anabel bb bag! Which colour u getting?



Angelia, i also think you should go for the class. Try to psycho your hb again when your MIL is not around. Must say until u very kelian, like how r u going to make your way there on your own without hb, and seeing a class full of couples etc etc. All the best, hope u will accomplish your mission this time! :)



Btw any mummies going for Mount Alvernia December ante-natal class? I m not a Mt A mtb, but going there cos the timing is better for me and hb hee.

 
Audrey- Yes. Me getting thru a regular spree-organiser. U can PM, will reply during lunch tim.



me also gg for dec class at Mt A



Tres- My DH also leaving svc in 2 yrs time, sick of what he is dng. My maid levy cheaper /same as working mum as i used my ah ma 's name to get lower rate (looking after eldery)

 
Morning mummies! My DH is backz with all my loot from SHG. I got some extra maternity clothes to sell off, over bought this time. Ranging from $6 - $12 to dresses. ANyone wanna take a look?

 
audrey (audian) : hahaha ! i already start to think of a plan ler ~ LOL ~ so this weekend, again i will talk to him without mil absence ~ =P

So he went to chk bb's weight against Jav's deatiled scan, he's a lil more heavy dan Jav, so doc said mayb it's the way he's lying in my tummy dats y nt protruding. Hahaha. Okkk, so nw I really gotta crack my head for a boys name.. Heh heh.

BB

fr my understanding the car seat can either be strapped with the seat belts only or if you want it easier to place in and remove then will need a base

 
ST- Did you try to paste note near to your area?

those housewives and aunties normally will look at those little advertisement lor.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



If not, try to spread the word in market - ppl normally are very helpful to find for you..

 
ST- I m staying at blk 359c, think there is a new nanny at my blk. U can PM me if u wan, i can ask for u. I seen parent dropping their bb there

lilprecious - congrats on ur 2nd boy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] n tks for ur reply. i thought my posted have been missed. ok, so better to get a venue n do it in 1 day? but if wanna BF then guest keep coming, will it be v mafan? i was thinking of doing at mum's home cos at least at home, have everything there. plus we have a v large corridoor. n if e uncles prefer to stay longer, wanna play MJ (our gathering routine)....haiz..cracking head.

 
Won_mummy> lol sorry busy when I saw ur post then forgot abt it..

I did Rayanne's full monh in one day an we had >100 guest.

Aranda country club executive suite...

Guests come n go so not a prob.. Relatives hang ard the living room, frens in room(got 2rooms) n outside...

Good thing is.. No need worry abt clearing up...

Next day check out n go home..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



I had earlier slot like 12-2pm relatives, 3-5pm frens..

Anyway no cake cutting so it's fine...



Ppl come and eat and see baby and go...



When I need to BF, just go into room...

Hb entertain guests.. Parent entertain relatives...

Ppl understand and dun mind.. Anyway only need to feed once in 3hrs... The most disappear twice only...

And Rayanne slept thruout..

She woke up only AFTER ALL THE GUESTS left..

She very Li hai.... Lol....

She fell asleep just before guests come...

She slept frm like 12-5pm, waking up for feed and sleep again...

So nobody got the chance to carry her.. Which is good...

Cuz I dun want her to be passed ard..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
rach - oic...hmm cos m staying in e west. e nearest is Chevons but e chalet is damn small. Chalet is my next option, like u say, no need to clean up, etc. just that it will be damn packed lor...haha...Rayanne so li hai, sleep during e peak hrs....lol....ya, i read those books, say 1 day of celebration n continous carrying will affect their routine le...so lucky...haha



prob is i dont have any relative staying in condo, etc. n dont wanna go too wuloo venue eg changi, pasir ris, country clubs that r inconvenient for ppl to travel....will try to saiko my hb again if can do at mum's house. save rental $ also...hehe.
