| Hi mymavis, How and where did you find/hire your maid? It seems that she is quite good. Although I just renew the contracts with my maids, I can't wait for my children to be 4 and 5 years old. So that I can get rid of 2 maids and hire a new one. My maids are getting casual and not really treat me like a master.... They will not open door for us, no greetings, very reluctant to answer the phone.... not good at cleaning. However, they are very good at taking care of very young children. They don't eat much and don't sleep much. Good health. These are their good points. Just something I would like to share with you all. Mymavis, remember to tell me how did you spot your maid. Thanks. :wave: |

| mymavis, congratulations!!! 請到個好工人就好lu. 無可否認, 請在星加坡做過野的工人係好好多, 我果個你都略知background又係星加坡做過野, 新加坡僱主真係好苛刻, set 好多regulations俾佢地, 一個月只係放一日假. 我工人都係, 如果我係屋企佢唔敢坐sofa, 有時我坐係度同個囝玩問佢野, 佢會行埋來, 唔敢坐之餘, 又係會跪係度聽你講野, 總之, 唔會要你"顎"高頭, 我估真係經過新加坡特訓先會係咁. 開頭來到, 又係話食我地食剩果的, 不過, 我一見就話唔駛, 只要之前夾開, 又或一齊食飯時用公筷就可以. 我同老公返到屋企, 佢都會叫: "good evening, mum!" "good evening, sir!" 等.........其實我只係要求佢有基本禮貌就ok, 有時佢咁做我反而有d唔慣. :roll: Felicia726, 你可以請有星加坡經驗的, 佢地在果邊真係較刻苦, 假期少之餘, 人工又少香港一半. 如果係好彩, 選到一個真係正正經經又緊張份工的工人, 佢地一比較就會 treasure 香港份工架喇! 請工人靠彩數, 不過可以循這方向找, 作為reference! good luck!!! |

| My Mavis, poonhui, Felicia726 見到My Mavis請到個好工人真"鄧"佢開心. 你哋嗰個工人係印還是菲. 我之前嗰個除咗識湊初生之外, 真係一無事處,就係連佢個人品德同處事態度都好有問題, 我都有同佢續約, 因為怕囝囝唔適應. 最後發覺佢借咗財務公司錢,先的起心肝請個一個. 我d朋友都話我忍得. 我之前嗰個都係新加坡做過嫁,點解冇你哋d咁好, 連早晨都冇同我哋講, 一日到黑都講mobile phone, 最高紀錄要比3千幾元電話費. 成日俾我哋駡都冇變. 唯一可取就係教得囝囝唔錯, 所以先死忍. 所以已後都唔想再請印傭. 而家嗰個就大部份ok, 只係唔識"tum"細路. 佢每朝都有叫我good morning! 放工佢就冇叫喇,因為都忙住煮飯, 我哋從來冇要求佢夾開食, 除非有客. 我找工人要求好簡單, 最重要唔好成日講電話, 放假準時返, 當然唔好問人借錢la. 試個第一個都怕怕囉. My Mavis 其實你呢個假期留响屋企係最適合的, 你有喜最好唔好去同人迫. 加上教吓新工人, 的確唔錯. |

| Hi Alison, One of my maids, who focus on taking care of my younger son, is also come from Singapore. Same as your previous one, 連早晨都冇同我哋講, 一日到黑都講mobile phone. I told my husband that she would die if she didn't talk on the phone. She is in fact the cousin of my other maid whom has been hired by us for 4 years. The other maid has been taking care of my daughter since newborn. Well, the one who has worked in Singapore is smarter, but her EQ is very low, and also black face. The other one who only has work experience in HK has better personalities, her EQ is high, but her IQ is quite low. Haha. My mother-in-law said that every maid is the same == like to talk on the phone. She said that my maids were quite nice as they didn't borrow money, didn't steal, didn't get sick, nice to kids..... However, I have to 忍 law. I feel that 印傭 do not respect female master. I always ask my husband to talk to them when there are important issues so as to make sure that they will listen and remember. I want to hire a Philippino maid next time but my husband doesn't like this idea as he thinks that Philippino maid is more troublesome and is not obedient as Indo maid. ... really don't know. I want to hire a Philippino with better education level who speaks fluent English. My current Indo maids speak English quite ok, but.... when I give them instructions in English, they look puzzled; when I give them instructions in Cantonese, they misunderstand. However, they speak very good Cantonese with my mother-in-law and people at the market. On the other hand, they can communicate well with Philippino maids in English... What is wrong here? Ay... to be honest, I don't understand their strange English sentences.... What's the English level of your maids? Is Philippino maid very hard to control and manage? :-? |

| Felicia726 我好同意poonhui既說法, 佢地係新加坡做完就知香港係 |

| Felicia726, 睇完你段發表簡直忍唔住笑兼拍難手掌, your experience is exactly same as me. :-D :-D :-D 老實說我真的不同意你husband的想法, 時而世易, 香港的印傭越來越多, 佢哋係我哋面前真係好識扮豬食老虎, 我以前嗰個可以响廚房同厠所個窗傾通全大廈, 佢真係一分鐘唔講嘢都會死. 現今香港菲傭少咗, 去蕪存青, 好的留低, 唔好的到走了, 我住個屋苑菲少印多, 加上而家嗰個唔多嘴, 我都不知幾舒服. 佢做嘢有文有路, 煮餸都幾好味, 只係唔係好識教仔, 咁我至多教佢點教囉, 囝囝而家好多嘴, 似足以前個需工人, 少少事都report比我聽, 而家個工人成日比佢蝦, 不過囝囝都好鍾意佢, 仲話要同佢get marry 喎, 真係笑死我, 有時佢唔聽工人話, 工人話唔同佢get marry, 佢就喊, 好好笑嫁. :-) :-) 下星期返學la, 準備好未. 卒知等到今日la. 大家都鬆一口氣了. |

| Thank you all for your responses. This is a good place to seek consultation and share some 'lo so'. Yes, tomorrow is school day, everything to be back to normal. One thing that I don't like is that I have to wake up early again. If there is no school, I can sleep till 7:15 or 7:30 am, haha. I am so lazy..... :-) Wish that all children would go to school happily tomorrow. |
