gerry, seems like these maids super like to 'cover up'. mine also like that, esp. nowadys since she's gg bk alr. she said if not for family prob she'd like to continue workg, so we gave her another chance, told her we cld give her paid leave for 1 wk for her to settle her prob then she said duno when she can come bk, aiyoh! Then kept asking when she can go bk, we din wanna tell her and finally we told her it's tmrw but actually it's today.
She's always giving excuses and pretended need this need that. What I prefer is a honest maid, 'cos if the maid is honest, they won't tend to be too lazy also. Hardworking can be 'surface' only, when we not ard, they will slack, for sure!
This 'story' I'm gg to share is sure extreme to some of u : She asked me on sunday, when she can go w/draw her money cos she's asked her cousin to change rupiah for her cos the rate her cousin cld get for her is good. THen she said her cousin wld be coming on Wed. Just nice, on Mon we gg out, we told her to go along and brought her to the bank. Then, when we got back, shortly she asked my hubby if her cousin can come over that evening itself. Changed day so soon? Anyway, my hub said ok then he told her to ask her cousin to come up, the cousin din want to. We insisted, then the cousin fake gg to the wrong side of the blocks and she asked if she cld go down. My hubby went with her, found her only S$1500 when she said she wanted to change S$3800. Then brought bk 1 big bag of clothes her cousin passed to her, we told her to watch her luggage weight so she threw away most of the clothes. Then pretended to ask if a Polo trolley luggage bag is expensive(hoping we'll buy for her).
Then horror came. I woke up at 5am to feed bb, I noticed the lights are on shortly after, she'd normally wake up only after 630am but why so early today? I had wanted to go out of room to check but was too tired. Later, my hubby told me that it seemed like she's gone out cos when he went out, the door wasn't locked! A check with the security, going through the security video, she's indeed gone out! Her cousin came back and she was seen counting some cash before handing over. If there's nothing fishy, why need to do at such wee hours? We have not confronted her yet cos we planned to check her stuffs before she leave today.
We told her it's tmrw's flight but she even kept asking to re-cfm, see! Really geng, she knew employers tend to do that... Doesn't seem like she's new huh? Or perhaps she has her friend(s) and cousin to teach her lor(she told my ex cleaner she knows no one here!). We just told her it's tmrw and it's good that we have a family x'mas party tonight, so she kinda buy it(abit i think).
My other mommy's friend's maid lagi best. She has 2 cos her house's big. 1 nite, the other one went missing, went under sewage man-hole to meet man! N we're not talking abt after midnight kinda timing, it's ard 8pm! Terrible!!!
