It's very difficult to give you opinion. If I were you, I will not renew the contract. As you may know me, I changed the maid 5 times within 2 years. I cannot say that my new maid now is very good, but it's ok so far. She started to work at my home on Aug 15, 2004. I feel that my son cannot adapt this new maid at the beginning, but now my son like her very much. I understood your concern.
Let me tell you my experience!
1st time -- I employed Indonesia maid.
2nd time -- I employed Filipino maid.
3rd time -- I employed Filipino maid.
4th time -- I employed Indonesia maid.
5th time -- I employed Filipino maid.
As my son just can understand English, I choose Filipino maid finally. Moreover, my husband doesn't like Indonesia maid.
One more thing ~
Some agencies will suggest you to employ Indonesia maid and they will say that some of Indonesia can speak English very well. But, based on my experience, the Indonesia maid that I employed before didn't know how to teach my son letter A, B, C...etc. and counting, even she worked in Singapore two years ago.
Can u share more experience why Indonesia maid no good? Cos I employ Philippino 1st time then fire and now the 2nd is Indo but I found is even worst. But my 1st Philippino maid she stolen and hit my baby. We had bad experience.
Now the Indo one is very lazy, but she won't hit BB and seldom talk on the phone.
Sandy,
I do u comment a Phillippine maid and Indo maid ??
Honestly, different family will have their own choice.
Anyway, I will tell you my stories about my maids.
1st time -- I employed Indonesia maid who was good for cleaning. She didn't know how to take care of newborn baby and her month had a unacceptable bad smell, even I asked her to drink more water. Moreover, one day I discovered that she held my son's head very hard, when she took a bath for him. So, I terminated her. She worked at my home for one month only.
2nd time -- I employed Filipino maid. She worked in Hong Kong for 4 years before I employed her. She knows how to take care of my newborn son and she is good for cooking. She loves my son very much and she taught my son something, such as 'where is your beautiful eye', 'clap hand'....etc.
However, she resigned after she worked at my home around one year. She said that her son was very sick and she had to come back. As I heard from my sister-in-law's helper, she went to Canada to work after resigned. I will not forget her crying, when she was leaving.
3rd time -- I employed Filipino maid. She didn't know how to cook and take care of my son. At the beginning the agency told me that she knows how to cook and tutor the children. But, it's totally wrong. One day my husband asked her to cook marcoroni, but she cooked rice as well. Do you know that I finished the rice at least 3 days? Even so, my son is very scared her, coz she stared at my son strongly. So, I terminated her. She worked at my home not more than 1 week. I really hate this agency very very much! I remember that the sales lady's name is 'ANNIE LEE'.
4th time -- I employed Indonesia maid. Actually at the beginning I and my husband want to employ Filipino, but the agency is very hard sales. They suggest me to employ Indonesia maid and they said that their quality of Indonesia maid is very well and know how to speak English. So, I and my husband believed them and chosed one of them. However, she didn't have common knowledge about cleaning, cooking and taking care of children, moreover, her month also had unacceptable bad smell as well.
I taught her and scolded her always. Furthermore, one day she held a knife to suicided suddenly. So, I terminated her. She worked at my home one and half months only.
5th time -- I employed Filipino maid who just arrived at my home. I cannot say that she is good. But, it's ok so far.
