I have been reading a lot of post here on the forum about how bad their helper is.
I must say I am very lucky to have my current helper.

I hired her when i was 有左3個月, found her on another forum and not through any agency. When i first interviewed her, she told me she is not good at ironing right from the start. I like that she was very honest about things. and anyway i i was not hiring someone to be good at ironing, i am hiring someone to take care of my baby.

i read a lot on this forum about 'old seafood'. she has been in HK for 8 years working for 2 sisters from same family, but i dont find her having the problems that you all mentioned.

At first i was also not use to having 外人 at home, but she is quite good at not making it uneasy for us.
for example, I never see her sitting down to watch tv on her own, only when we are watching, and sometimes she get interested she will watch a little standing..
Also, although sunday is her holiday, she will still buy food back for monday when it is needed.

I can see that she is a very hardworking and nice person, and also she is very proud of having a daughter who is near finishing 大學 in Philippines. So i bought a webcam for her daughter so she can talk to her daughter back at home face to face.

Of cos maybe cos she is being treated a little different, I let her off on saturday afternoon, gave her a laptop and don't really monitor her very much as long as she does her work .

I say she is very nice cos she is always thinking abt work first. Of cos now and then i see her talking on the phone, but i think it is acceptable ... like we always say 吊頸都要透氣, I am ok as long as she is not talking all the time.

She is also taking very good care of my baby ... i can see that my baby is growing very healthy, and she trained her well to sleep on her own. I was quite scared at first when i started going back to work. But there was once i went home suddenly in the afternoon (i was not feeling too well) and saw that she was playing with my baby and singing to her and laughing.. that makes me feel more assured.

I also found out that last chirstmas, she took one of her holiday to go and help clean single old people's home.

I think what I jst want to say is ... there are good and bad helpers, just like there are also good and bad employers.

A lot is about how you treat other and how they treat you. But of cos ... it is also a little about luck.

My first Philippino maid in the 90's is a very kind hearted person and she always went to the Church on holidays.

With her earnings, she helped the brothers and sisters in her family. She really inspired me and I will help my family members when in need.

Absolutely, all down to luck whether you have a responsbile maid. I have a good maid too.

She is very down-to-earth and never black face. She also loves children.

As gemiling mentioned, there are good and bad maids / employers. Wish we are lucky to find one best suits our needs.

ya.. what i really want to say is .. not all of them are so bad.
Maybe people can say i m lucky la ..

But really when i see that she has a very proud smile when she talks about her daughter, and how she is planning to give her daughter a trip to hk as graduation gift, I can see that, she is a little like my mom 死慳死抵 to let me finish university.

sometimes I think, we are all jst mothers who want to provide the best to our kids at the most we can do.

I really want to be able to have that smile too when I see my girl reaching university...

i dont know if it is ok to actually open name of another forum here .

anyway it works like this, you have to pay 200 dollar to the website (it is one of the sites that is mainly for exepats) so that you can access to their database for 1 month, what you do is you can then search for the one you like and you have to contact them urself and arrange for interview.
There is no other agency fees.
Some of them have reference letter from employer (i suggest you go for those) and you can also ask them at interview for their old employer's contact so you can contact them.

If you are really interested then i pm you the website. I don't want others to think I am 做妹.

Lst time i was commenting on another post abt helper, some one asked if i have another account to say the same things, and ask why do I have to always say good things for the helpers "使唔使咁幫佢講野呀?"

Honestly I got quite angry that time.

Luckily, i hire a phillipino maid for 2 months, she is also good!! As in this forum, many ppl say how bad their maid is, so scard, but i will pay attention to those bad maid things.
My maid is good to my son, play with him , sing with him although he is only 1 month old. She is very experienced in holding and let him sleep when i don't know how to hold my son well. She do very clean herself, she wash her hands very often and clena our house well. Even on holiday, she will boil some water, steam the milk bottle, and sometimes clean the floor before leaving, (these are not requested by us), when she comes back, she will steam the milk bottle too, if we need her to help about the baby, she is glad to do so. i really appreciate about it. Sure, our family good to her also, always buy her food and snack !
