OFM,
U r lucky tt u receive a good helper. May I know where u get yr maid? Is she ex-sin? How old? How much agency fee u paid?
Maybe u would like to PM me if u dun want to reveal it here.
Yvonne,
How come I keep changing maids? That's a good question... If we find maid not competent, we kick off lor.... No point keeping one that make our blood boil. We pay them to work fof us instead of making us short lived.
Let me name some secnarios here. If you were the employer, will you keep her?
1) Last Sunday before we leave the home (nobody will be in the house), I asked the maid to close the windows of the baby room. The normal way of closing is left side in first, then right side and locked the closed window. what my maid did was, she closed right side in first, then left side and left a small gap.
2) The container of salt that put in the rack has finished. I ask the maid to wash the container. After washing and drying the container, she put back the empty container into the rack which hold other sauce like light soy sauce, sugar...etc for used during cooking. Is this acceptable to you??? I told her off this morning when I spot check the kitchen and found this empty salt container in the rack. I asked her does she know where my mum keep the salt, she can open the cabinet and take out the salt. I need to tell her that she need to fill up the container after washing and not just put the empty container there. She then tell me because we r not using so she din fill. So i ask her back, is it wait till u want to cook and found out no salt, then u kalang kabok to find the salt n fill up the container?? She smile at me....
3. Last Sunday 3pm, I told her we are gg out at 6.30pm. Tell her to get ready all necessary stuff for outing. When I reached home at 10pm, the kitchen top is full of ants. WHY??? Because the maid didn't clean off the FM which has spilled out accidentally. I have told her many times that after she make milk, she has to check the kitchen top and wipe off any milk powder that has spilled out. Even if she is not the one who make the milk (sometimes my mum will make the milk), after feeding my boy and before washing the empty milk bottle, she has to check the kitchen top again in case there is some FM that has spilled out. But she didn't do this.
4. My girl ride the tricycle and knock onto her leg. She let out a loud "HEY". Then use her leg to kick away the tricycle very hard. My girl was still sitting on the tricycle.
She has been with us for 2.5 mths. She is very forgetful and careless. She has no patient and short tempered. Can see that she dun really like to handle my girl.
Even my hb find that she do for the sake of doing. Well she was only 21.... how much can we expect from her???
So we change lor since we are not comfortable with her. My mum is the 1st to complain. The first day she step into our place, my mum oredi said she cannot make it.
She dun take instructions seriously.
Will u keep this maid??
