CloudPoem - I have been nagging at her to use her brain to work for months! And today I seriously losing my cool not bcoz of $12, but the counting of how many pkts of meat in the box which she is holding on.
I told her, next week if the $$ lost again, I'll deduct her pay.
Anyway I don't let her hold cash, if I found any cash with her, it means STEALING. I'll report police and banned her fr working in SG! That's what happened to my previous maid

I can be very nice and very mean too..hehe I even get my HK colleague to send in my police report to banned her enter HK. Unless she change name, change passport. She has a sis working in HK that time.
yaer - I agreed with u! what 5yrs experience, when she came she can't even iron short sleeve shirt!! She took 2hrs to iron 3 cotton shirt. My dad around to witness and he ask me this is the standard of Phil maid ah?? coz all along we only took Indon..this is 1st time I engage Phil..haha
When she came she told me my hse only 1/2 the size of her ex-employer, she looks after 3 kids there, 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom gotta wash everyday. And prepare & cook 3 main meals & 2 snacks for the family..sound fantastic rite? Real bombastic after working with me for a month with my tiny flat, and family of 3!
I have given her many many chances to prove to me she can pick up. I think 6 months probation is very sufficient..1 more month with my confinement I'll decide how far she can breakthru.
I asked my hb this morning, how comfy he is to leave a 5-6mths bb with her after I return to work full time.
