I haven't. But I really want to share my experience.
Throuhout the past 9 years I have hired 9 maids (both Bun and Yun and there were times we had 2 maids together in a house). None of them were good. The only one I think is a bit better is the first Bun I hired who finished 2 year contract in my house (she was a little bit stupid but loved my elder son so much and never lies, and worked hard). But she was very old, at the age of 40+ at that time. All others are either v. stupid, lazy, earning money as a prostitute outside, disobedient, gossip and spreading rumours too. From my statistics, I can tell none of them were good. But i really felt sorry looking back the way I treated my first old Bun and I wanted so much to say "sorry" to her now cos I was too immature, perhaps I was too young, to have often scolded at her. But I know it is difficult to look for her now.
So, believe it or not, I suggest that if you have got a maid who is not too bad, you have got to treasure her cos there are many Buns /Yans who are even worse than yours in the market.
I have hired 2 maids so far for the past years.
The current maid is with me for the 4th contract.
She is old & stupid to some extent. I cannot say she is perfect, but she is really a kind person & never argue with me for little things even like holidays matter. I told her say this Sunday I had to work, & she need to give up day off.. she NEVER say no. So far for these years, never refuse me to give up day off even I only give her a few days notice. And will not ask to compensate that or stay overnight outside.
She is kind of old style people, can help me to sew my kids' uniform when they got short. Hand wash all the uniform daily for Summer uniform & weekly for winter uniform & school bag)because she said that can keep the uniform clean white & not too crumpled.
Another thing make me feel pleased is she never get late for my 2 kids to school. Because the school bus come at 7:00am, kids need to wait up at 6:00am but she actually need another 1/2 hour in advance to prepare lunch box, water, snacks... So she wait up 5 o'clock something in the morning time. For all these years, never miss the bus. That make me feel no worry. I heard about my families, my friends all need to wake up early to help to make kids on time for bus. For working mom, sleep for 1/2 hour more is very important !!!
My friend had hired 9 maids for 6 years ! Oh I really cannot stand for that. That is no good for kids to adapt the situation as well.
Every Chinese New Year Day 2, I will back to my mom's home with many relatives there. My maid will give up holiday & follow me to get red pocket there. So we get somebody to cook & clean also..
Is your maid an Indonesian or Philippino? Actually I am planning to hire a maid for my coming new born baby in May 07 but I dont know whether Indonesian or Philippino is better because both have pros & cons. What do u think?
So far I had only hired 2 Philippino maids, so cannot compare. My husband insist of using Philippino as they are mostly Catholic with "lululala" happy character. He feel Indoesian is more 毒敕. He asked me to think about the 印尼排華事件.
Another thing is I hire both maids in HK, they are all finished contract. My current one had finished 2 contracts with previous employer. So I can get her contact & verify some points before I make decision. This is very important !!!! I know many BK moms reject of that because they always says once work in HK, they are learnt to be bad. But I think all the Philippine must get some sort of families or relatives work in HK, so they know everything already. If they are bad, they are bad !
Another hint - try to get someone live in remote country part. They are usually stupid in operating machine, but they are more 纯品.
Lastly, be using heart to treat your maid, you have 人質 on her hand.
Hi all,
I want to discuss my case.
My maid want me to allow her to stay outside for a few days as her boy friend will come to HK...of course I reject her. I tell her that she can come home late & I set a time limit that she need to come home on that time before.
The first holiday she came late for 20 mins. The second day she came late more than 45 mins and the most important thing is she hasn't called me (I tell her that she MUST call me if she really late). Of course I talk to her for a few words when she came back. She don't like and black face and very impolite to me for a few days....my god...she likes an employer more than me!!!!
I want to terminate the contract but my baby like her very much...how can I do???
第三個, o黎時19歲, 好ok wor! 對employer 尊敬有禮, 同兩個仔情同姊弟, 做野都算ok啦, 係唔識cook chinese food and 有d大頭蝦. 學野相當快, 有交帶. 但同我另一個エ人argue所以resign. 做左15個月. 但我囝囝birthday佢都有call back and say happy birthday.
