i fired my maid 2 days ago now looking for an immediate available maid too. I went to nearly all the reputable agencies but NO immediate available maids. There are some maids who can be available in 1.5-2mths. I finally hired a one who is available after 2 mths (but still have to pay for the high agency fee for local maid and their return ticket back to HK which is 3800+2400)
I am very sad now, a bit depressed because I have to take care of my baby alone, sometimes with the help of my mother.
