我剛剛請了個工人也是47歲,是朋友介紹,我是第一次請工人。她來了幾個月,so far 我覺得佢表現不錯,中英文都沒有問題,煮嘢食好好味,家務亦做得妥當,少少犯錯都會有,問題不大。她在香港已十多年,係咪成精我不太concern,最梗要係工作表現及態度,可能我同我先生對工人的要求不是很嚴格,所以我們沒有什麼rules & regulations 比佢,仲比好大自由佢,e.g.可以比佢訓晏覺,睇電視,總之佢做好家務,煮飯及照顧我好既baby,我就okay.
其實四十幾歲,做了咁耐野,一定唔會好似overseas咁green, maybe有自己一套,但我覺得大家be open 去discuss,互相尊重是很重要的,又罵又鬧是唔work.
my bb is now 8 months old, the ex-maid i had she didn't come back 2 months ago, the ex-maid i had she's 24 and indonesian (she said she's getting married wow).
The one I hire now is 49, she is filipino. compare with the 24, of course she's not energetic as the 24. But she's more patient and more experienced. I don't think she's slow la, maybe I don't hv much hygiene requirements, she finished her work quite fast, although my husband said she cleans not as detail as the 24 one, but i think overall is ok law.
so far she's with me for almost 2 months, so far ok. so it really depends law. Actually, if she can keep working like this, I'm more happy to hv her than the 24 law.
My maid is 45 this year, she is recommended from my friend's maid. She is very good in terms of hygiene, obedient, work, good memory, cooking, no black face, etc. However, she has problem of slow working & she cannot run. She has a good heart though.
So it really depends on the age of the baby/kid you want her to take care. I would say it is not good for young kids since too old to run after them but if your kids are older ones, then maybe she can give you a big help.
this is my situation:
my maid is 49 lah....... she will finish her contract in aug....
just now i told her that she shouldnt use the dryer to dry her clothes but she said if use dehumidifier to dry takes long time, and also all her previous employers also let her used the dryer worr.... (i really wonder lorr), then i have to let her use.....as she really insisted....
then i told her to return home on time as she never arrived home on time around 9.30 pm, when she began to work for me, she requested to arrive home at 9.00, i said ok, then from the 1st time she had holiday she never returned home on time, just now i told her about this and said my friends maid all arrived home on time, then she said that is her holiday and i cant compare with others wor.... if i am not happy with her, i can terminate her now tim....then she said she really wants to work here and said i never appreciate her works.....
at first i wanted to renew her contract ga as i had a maid who was worst than her so i am scared to employ new maid....but now i think i have to find new one....
so i just want to tell if you have to employ old maid, you have to listen to their instructions lorr...
