Both my elderly aunties (living alone, children visit few times a week) switched to myanmar maids about 1 yr ago. They told me that their maids still can't manage simple cooking, it's like they can't learn, even daily housework also can forget this and forget that, even now.
Simple greeting like 'Mam eat', 'Mam anything else?' 'Mam good night' so hard to learn meh? So reluctant to greet, they just appear rude. Don't they greet their family at home?
I'm saying this, not because I think I'm so big or high and mighty, just so that I know she's eating, so I will not plan things to do or disturb her meal, to inform her about tomorrow's meal plan, in the morning to prepare vege, meat etc, so when I wake up, everything is ready for me to start cooking.
I wonder if they they have any concept of working as domestic help.
Indon maids on the other hand, seem to adjust better and know the concept. I've had 5 indon maids, even the bad ones have some basic concept of greeting and will write down instructions and make attempts to communicate even if they can't speak english, they speak in bahasa. Even they come from kampung, they shower everyday.
If these myanmar girls can't follow instructions to do their work, how do they work in their country whatever job they do?
so nervous
