你就好啦!我一直都想揾個好似你個工人咁嘅,但未揾到呀!剛剛有同事介紹了一個快完約的工人,亦在星期天與她interveiw. (As my chinese typing is as slow as a walk of a tortise, so I change it to English.) She is 48 year old, confident and have over 20 year of taking care children from new born to 11 years. She said she is strict to children, and they should follow her schedule whatever eating, playing or sleeping.
Actually, I am quite satisfactory with her experience of taking care children. However, after the interveiw, I have a pressure and feeling that she is not only strict to my child but also me. I don't want to take another back home.
Besides, she told me that she would go back philipine when the she finish her exisiting contract and if I start a new contract with her, I have to pay for the tickets from philiphine (including a domestic fight) to Hong Kong. I wonder it is my responsible to pay for the ticket??? She also suggested me to engage an agency she recommended and it is going to charge me at HK$3,XXX (included the tickets). Then I told her that some agency is just charge for ~HK1,XXX, the one she recommended is expensive. She then told me that these kind of agency will charge on both side and she think it's my responsibility to pay for the fee as I am the employer.
I am still 15/16, as my daughter is just 2 and half year old and her experience will of course make me more relax at work. However, I don't kown whether we will have a lot of fright after I engaged her.
I don't think you should employ this maid, at least not for me, because she has too much experience. She has her own set of values and will not easily give in to employer's view. Of course, employers give instructions based on their own reasons, but this kind of maid will also have their own views and rarely sympathes the employer. Also, she knows the labour laws very well and even familiar with how agencies charge. She will *give you* her instructions of how to do the employment procedures and make you pay all the charges. She will ask you reimburse every cents that she spend out of pocket. She is too good at bargaining for more benefits.
I know this because my 99's maid has similar attitudes. She worked in HK for many years now. She is very skillful but her attitudes are very frustrating to employers.
Unless you don't mind, I don't think this is the way a maid should behave. And you have to be careful that you never owe her any money, holiday, or anything otherwise I am sure you will be in trouble.
I have very bad experience with old helper (46 years old). NOW I am very very afriad to the old helper. My ex-old helper, she seems my grandma. I have to listen to her. She seems a madam instead of me. This is my bad experience for your consideration.
Also, the experienced bunbun is quite trouble. She knows every laws. She knows what is the processing of the agency. Also, if you wanna to employ a domestic helper though a agency, it takes lesser than $1000. (Yes, the agency will charge both, so that you can safe your money)
One more thing, she is too old, she may not willing to play with a baby girl.
The old bunbun is more easy to getting tired. They need to sleep very early.
I am sorry to let you know that I cannot found any good reason to employ a OLD bunbun.
May I know the helper's name - is she JACKXXXXXX.
Hope we are not talking the same.
You may find some more or don't you meet an agency which you can face to face to interview with the bunbun?????
Dear Kei-Kei,
Hi! Your topic is very helpful! Yet, why can the bunbun come to HK and wait for interviews without employment contract?

I asked my agent to make some papers for my maid yesterday, by the way I did ask him regarding how to send the maid to HK. He said the bunbun are take the travel visa to HK . Most of them are first time to HK. They have to find a mum within 2 weeks. After selected by a mum, the agent will sent her to Macau in a boarding house. Until they get the working visa, they will come back to HK.
