I think nowadays most maids will ask for hp/offday... The past 2days u can see my maid really not happy, tok to her and she reply u very softly..my mil even said she sometimes she has to tok to her 2times dan she reply.... but today, we told her ok to buy hp but can oni use at night and she was smiling all the way inside the car!! When we were at the hp shop, she already noes which brand of hp she wans and even wans a 3G phone man!! I myself aso dun hv 3G phone and she actually noes wat is 3G... Really is never underestimate the maids....
Wat to do,if dun buy for her wait she everyday face black black i see aldy aso pek chek... hv to monitor her closely these few weeks...i told her cannot bring hp to ah mah hse and can oni use at night...hope she does not disappoint me..

My maid really ya ya papaya. Saturday she was ceaning the stair case grills and i ask her when is the last time she cleaned and said last week so i asked her to clean the doors as it is dusty. She ignored what is said and showed me a black face and even shouted back at me saying so many things to do. I shouted back at her this is her job!
As she is fat and standing on a plastic stool to clean the door so i asked her to take a piece of cloth to place underneath the chair to prevent from slipping. Again she ignored me fot the third time then she replied me finishing in a not happy manner. 30mins later i went into her room saw her packing her clothes and went down to the living room asking for her bag say she wan to go back agency. I called the agency and after lecturing her for 1 hour she apologised to me. At night i went to ask her why this noon she threw such a bad temper she replied me my head is poo and some other tagalog... Which is dun understand at all. I even writye down on paper what i wanna tell her and talked to her in a nice way. She just refused to answer me anymore and showed a black face. Minutes later she bang her head onto the wall and used her hands so hit on her head. I got frightened and called agency again!
She got lecture again for 1 hour and agency asked me to ignored her whenever she is not happy. What is all this, I am the employer and got to put up with the maid nonsense???
Yesterday the maid was very good... But i am scared dunno when will she be crazy again. As she is looking after my 8 months baby with my parents in law at home. My PIL in was suggesting to change her. But this is my 4th maid of the yr. I am lost in dunno wad to do...
By the way the agency is Gobal placement. Anyone one here got experience with them?

Hi Tamarind,
That's what I saw on MOM website too. But she went to check at some agency and the agency told her that Philippines Embassry requirement is that they have an exit pass. And the agency wanted to charge $240 for that!!

<font color="aa00aa">Jaclyn</font> - your maid is horrible. Dare to shout back at you somemore! *aarrgghh* Btw, MOM does not restrict you to just 4-maids a year.
They just make it slightly more difficult for you to hire another one.. like you gotta take some type of test. But for this maid...
she sounds like mental case from the way you describe her behaviour. Since she looking after your BB, pls be safe then sorry. Change her if you can.
<font color="aa00aa">kannasai</font> - if your maid using HP whilst cooking of cos her working will be slow lah. Tink she's also NOT stupid leh... cos by purposely working slow...
she's forcing you to pick-up where she's not done. In the end, bit by bit you'll end up doing the housework. This is their standard trick lor. Dun fall for it.
Take back her HP and tell her you will return it to her every night provided her list of house chores are done. Not done = NO HP for that night.
Then in the morning, take back the phone. See whether she buck up or not. My current Indon maid still ok... her working speed is picking up,
although still a bit forgetful and slack in some areas. Overall quite hardworking - but hub so cynical over maids, he's giving her 5-mths before the patterns come out.
Hopefully this one won't have any bah. Ooohhh.. your previous job is as fss yah... me was wz SQ b4 too...
but in the Sales & Marketing division way way back. Then proceeded on to the hospitality industry.

alamak, u were a crew before ah .. hehe, so that's why u met yr hubby leh .. so sorry to hear abt you feeling unwell .. yr maid but i certainly don't agree with yr relative agent hoh .. that giving the maid to use a hp is a must, i dont buy that statement hoh
anyway, about mashing eggshell leh, also i don't buy leh .. unless she really dreaming while doing work!! u ask her lah, whether she eat eggshell back in her village.
bad memory, could be she daydream leh, enforce her to write down and keep the book with her all the time and must refer whenever cannot remember.
abt the floormat, means she's not paying attention at all leh, how can keep repeating the same mistakes so many times.
Jacelyn, yr maid is in danger zone, suka-suka give black face, showing bad sign leh .. since you have yr PIL to supervise, you might want to heed to Tamarind's principle, don't afraid to change.
We as employer we want to give them a chance but they take our chances as granted and not appreciative at all.
As for my maid leh, I don't really check on her work, so far these few days, i didn't spot on any flaws but i'm sure, i could find many if i were to really check on her ..
actually, i'm not feeling well too, bad flu & cough, worried the maid will fall sick, then, i really jialat as my 2 children are still very sick. Got her to cook luo-han-guo everyday.

God... Gonna change maid again??? I have phobia in changing maid liao. Dunno are they good or not! And need to take at least 2 weeks to train them which i dun have anymore leave for the yr. Think i monitor her for these 2 weeks see how is her behaviour.
hi mummies,
I sent my ex-maid back to agency yesterday.
Gave her only 15 min notice. hehs.
Ok...here's the story.
We sent maid and bb to my mum's place. Then hb and I went back home. Went through her stuff and placed everything in the living room. We took back what we knew for sure was ours and what we felt we can't "donate" to her (e.g. a little pouch with cartoon pic on it that was meant for my bb). Other stuff (e.g. my old clothes which are too small for me now), we purposely left them next to her own clothing. coz we wanted to see what she will do. We arranged everything neatly and her stuff in the toilet and underwear, we kept in plastic bags for her. Then we went back to my mum's place to pick her up. Only her.
Came back home. On the way up in the lift, hb told her "later you pack your bags". She nodded her head, OK. And then she turned ard and asked, "my bags? you mean my clothes, everything?" and her eyes big big. So I told her, "Yes. everything is in the living room already. You just go in, pack into your bag. Since you said you wanted to go back." She had told hb before that she felt that our standards were too high and she wanted to go. So we just used that back on her lah...
So all in, she took 15 min to pack. But she told us to pass some soap and shampoo to my father's maid. Not sure why and not sure if we shd (still sitting at home).
Then at agency, we requested for a body search. End up, found a nokia hp on her (highly suspected to be my brother's old one). But at that point, we didn't know whose phone it was. Thot it was hers. But we told agent our suspicions. Agent said they will keep the HP first. Coz boarding house also not allowed to have HP. Then today, I checked with my bro, he checked his stuff, and yup, his old phone is gone.
Today day 2 with new maid, as she's new (first time in SG), she's a bit blur...pray that I have patience...hahaha...

susany,
yah...no drama. phew. had expected her to call father call mother not to send her back. She was initially shocked, but after that, she was still quite arrogant and had that ya ya look on her face.
but at the agency, the way they did the body search was kinda humiliating. I felt so pai seh for her (and them...all the other maids who have to go through it).
eh, check with you mummies...the WP and passport of my current new maid will only be issued after the ex maid has been transferred to another employer is it?

My myanmar maid is going back in Dec and I am wondering how do I contact her as her phone line there is not easy to reach.
SHe asks me to help her find a phone card to enable her to call me when she is in myanmar.
Then my hubby proposelend her a hp so we can contact her easily. I worry she will lose it.

dymples,
hehs...yah...that one went smoothly...*phew*.
This new maid ah...she really blur. But she's willing to learn. So I guess that's better. Yesterday I almost had heart attack. I showed her how to use the steriliser and how to fill it with water. Then the 2nd time for sterilising, she took the entire body of the pigeon steriliser and wanted to "dunk" it into the sink to fill with water. OMG.....I was so pissed. but I had to keep reminding myself, she's new. First time overseas, a village person...give her time. Guess I just don't have patience...hehs...
And what hb and I find to be very funny is...she has never changed a diaper before! muahahaha. even though she worked in a diaper factory. In the village, they just leave the babies without their diapers and pants. hahaha. But all these kind of thing is can be taught one lah...as long as the attitude is right.

Pat, what's the good news, bird or hamburger, he he ..
yesterday evening, i told off my maid as she left my bb alone in the cot while she went into the kitchen to drink water. I was so mad as my bb is able to stand up and the cot rail is up to his waist now. And this is not the first time I told her that my bb cannot be left alone anywhere in the house.
My maid is a good learner but tend to slag. She never do any of the housework nor taking care of bb before .. but she is a fast learner and can perform. She's exactly 2 months old with me now.
This morning, i tested her .. asked her if she mix my machine wash clothes with the floor mats, he he .. she said NO, hand wash ..
alamak, why yr dd cry again?

susany,
i think you'll need to lower the cot for your bb leh. if not maybe dangerous. sometimes accidents can happen even if an adult is there with bb. they can be too fast for us to react.
kanna_sai,
aiyo...your maid really left her brain at home! how can wash shoes in bathtub?!
celtricia,
i'll be really excited abt the trip too if I were you. kekeke...
me also same lah..hb always not around one. My house like hotel for him liao! Last weekend just came back from Sweden. This weekend taking off to Manila. Come back for one day then go off again to Cherating! SianZ!

Hi, I relocated to Singapore less than a year ago (from Thailand) and am now looking for domestic helper as I'm expecting a 2nd child in January.
Reading everyone's experiences with their maids is giving me anxiety attacks over employing Indo/Fili maids. Some friends tell me it's better to employ Burmese or Vietnamese. Any input on that from anyone here?
Also, does any one know of a good agency that specialises in maids/nannies from THAILAND?

Agree with Nellu that accident can still happen in adult's presence as kids' action are usually too fast for adults to react. Hope your cot still can be further lowered.
Last time i used to put my 18mth son in playpen when i need to do other things. The playpen's (non-adjustable type) fence reached up to my son's chest so i think it is very safe. Then in one occassion, he was whinning badly (throw tantrum type) so i ignore him thinking he is safe in playpen. Guess what happen? He managed to climb out of the playpen and fell onto the floor and hit his head! As the playpen fence was made of net-type cloth, he made use of friction and placed his feet onto the 'wall' of the playpen and somehow managed to climb out! .. Really cannot small see these little kids .. From then onwards, i stop using the playpen .. sigh .. now without maid, i can't even go toilet when i'm at home alone with my 2 kids cos must watch over them closely .. heng i'm working, else i'll go mad ..

Yah.. gotta be really patient with them cos they come from village so they not used to the way we work. Also for them... things are always "slow" in their village. So they can't understand why we want them to do things fast fast. They dun have a sense of urgency. Guess gotta slowly teach and tell them the difference between our culture and theirs.
<font color="aa00aa">susany</font>,
OMG!! Yah.. must constantly highlight to them not to leave the BB alone. So dangerous. My this maid also lah... yesterday after bathing my 4-yrs gal, she left her alone in the bathroom to rush to their bedroom to grab the towel. I was angry cos, what happen if my gal fall down?
<font color="aa00aa">kannasai</font>,
Oh dear... on antibiotics means more serious liaoz. Must rest lots lots yah. Dun be so stress okie. My gynae says BB is ok... but cos I got berry bad body rash, they gotta do blood test to find out the cause. Hope it's nothing serious lah... maybe just PUPPP.
<font color="aa00aa">Celtricia</font>,
How is your detailed scanning? Is it a prince or princess? Everything ok?
<font color="aa00aa">littlebubble</font>,
Actually getting a good maid is like striking the 1st prize for lottery. It does not matter where they are from... what we want is just a maid who is willing to learn, be appreciative when we are nice to them and look after our children, things and house as they would their own. Good luck in your search.
<font color="aa00aa">pinktweet</font>,
OMG!! Your son really smart leh... know how to use climb out of the playpen. Yup... agree that with children every spilt second counts. Even for us... the minute we turn our heads only... they can fall down or bump their heads. *faintz* Got to be constantly on alert.

kannasai,
I sent her back for transfer...coz her loan not paid up yet leh. She only with me for 4 mths. Actually, we wanted to send her back during her after 2 mths, but had to find another replacement first then can send her back. In the end, took 2 mths to find replacement. If loan not paid up yet, and I send her back to fili, I lose out on the remaining loan right? I'd rather send her back to fili lorh, than have her "recycled" in our society.

Congrats on yur princess. Oh dear... low lying placenta. Me also leh... my placenta is very low, almost covering the OS. To date, the placenta still has not moved up much and gynae still monitoring cos I really dun want to go under C-sect.

hehehhe... no worries. I'm also those that dun have lots of patience. That's why I prefer getting slightly experienced maid versus those really new types. At least train them not so straining lor.

Aiyoh.. my gynae also dunno why I kena the rash. So gotta do blood test to check if it is allergy reaction, viral infection or PUPPP. *haiz* She only gave me some antihistamines and rash cream to apply. Will get the results in 2-days time. Aiyoh... your tat friend's maid really can lah. Eat all the expensive fish! *aarrgghh* Terrible!!
Congrats on yur princess. Oh dear... low lying placenta. Me also leh... my placenta is very low, almost covering the OS. To date, the placenta still has not moved up much and gynae still monitoring cos I really dun want to go under C-sect. Prefer natural delivery cos can faster call the massage lady to do binding. hehhehe...

CSI_Fan, got body search ?? aiya.. shd have requested that with the runaway maid.. I never even got the chance to check her bag… OMG she’s really daring.. even your bro hp oso dare to take. Ur maid got a bf in SG?? Omg! BTW ur new maid shd have her wp approve aldy, just need some time before receiving it back. Normally its abt 1 wk. Ya true, as long as the attitude is right everything can be learn.
Emma, Myanmar can oso use phone card?? Does she normally call home? If yes, u can arrange 1st which date and time u will call her and ask her to standby there.
Alamak, your maid is so funny… shoes swimming.. wa!!!

May,
no lah...my ex maid, her bf is in Phil. hehs...Yah, she's quite daring. Then she told us to pass the 2 bottles of shampoo to my father's maid...dunno is it trying to show us that she's close to that maid or that maid is also in cahoots with her...
oh, WP for new maid shd be approved already ah? But agent say haven't bring her to do thumbprint yet coz other maid not transferred out yet....so without thumbprint, can approve WP? Not too sure also lah.
But this new maid very very blur leh. Dunno is it she dun understand my english or what. But she says she's thinking how to do things perfectly. This morning, hb and I (both of us) told her no need to make milo for hb. She had just poured hot water into the cup, so also told her to pour it into the cool water jug, and no need to make. Then, she used the water from the cool water jug, to make milo! Already told her no need to make and she still make milo. Told her at least 3 times some more. And, everyday we go my mum's place, we use the Pigeon FTG bag to store the bottles of EBM. But today, I told her not bringing that bag, but using another cooler bag to bring. And I'm the one who packs the EBM. She can come and ask me a few minutes later, "so the bottles from the other cooler bag put inside the Pigeon bag?" OMG! my english must be that bad. Then yesterday, she wanted to wash clothes and bedsheets, and the load was quite a bit. So I told her, we don't have much space to hang our clothes, so there is no need to wash all at one shot. Just wash this bit first (and I separated for her). I turned my back, she took all to wash. Now, not only no space to hang, the clothes also cannot dry, coz they are cramped up together.
Dunno her blur-ness is for real one or not? haiz....
sorry...just ranting here...

CSI_Fan, oic.. her bf in phil at least not so bad... i tink she's trying to stir problem for ur father's maid..
i tink shd be approve at least there shd be a principle-in-approval (not sure if this is the term) letter right?? if not u wont be able to bring her back.. I think your new maid dun understand what u mean.. not your english bad.. but her comprehension bad... give her more time to adapt. see if she can improve.

Pat, congrats, Orlando will be the da-ger-da and Ophelia will have a playmate, so, this no 3 name will start with another "O"? Anyway, the children have very unique name starting with "O".
alamak, nellu, pinktweet, dymples, csi_fan, pat .. about the bb cot, Jaxten is 10 months old now, Nov 2007 baby .. using the cot as changing place, the cot is small for him. Usually he sleeps in the hammock. Actually the cot has been leveled down, the lowest will be very low and hard to do as a changing place.
I'm thinking of removing the cot and place an adult size mattress on the floor, kampung style for him to sleep. But fearing instead of having bb to sleep, the maid will sleep on the mattress instead??? Haha, maybe i'm worrying too much.
CSI_Fan, yr new maid is showing that she cannot take instruction well or she wasn't focus when you talk to her or she doesn't seem to understand your words. When she did wrong, ask her again what is her level of understanding of your request. You have nobody to supervise her at home?
Pat, that Fili may not be suitable for you loh, since she's working for angmo.
Alamak, don't use your relative agent anymore .. this person is not helping you at all. Your maid hoh, if u find that she is kuai, can be trusted, then u must have a big patience to teach her and blend her into the local culture but still i don't think anyone even those from the 3rd world country eat eggshell??
Pinktweet, who's taking care of the kids now, yeah, never underestimate a kid, anyhow in anyway, they'll find ways to release themselves to freedom from their cot/playpen.
