Just want to share with you my bad experience in hiring the maid ever since my girl's birth.....
I hired my 1st Fililpino maid (28 years old)married with 1 boy 5 years old, fresh from Philippines to take care of my girl (6 months old), she loved my girl so much and learnt quickly from my mom and me, however, after a year time, she joined her friends and went to those smoking pub and brought some sexy clothes out on her holidays, I terminated her.
I hired my 2nd Filipino maid (33 years old) single with BSc Deg. in Accountancy and finished contract in HK for 1 employer 6 years. She was very systematic, organised, good cooking, however, it's during the SARs at that time and she went to Library during holidays and chat on line with one Canadian guys (she did share with me reading the SMS/emails), all the time when she was taking care of my girl, she had the phone on hand (SMS). Eventually after 1 year, she resigned and got married with this Canadian guy.
On and off, I have interviewed and tried some local Filipino maid / Indonesia maid..... until I was referred by one BK mom for her finished contract Indo maid. I went to the designated agent in Kowloon and signed the contract with her, however, after 3-4 months, her performance drastically changed and again I terminated her. However, the agent told me that it's because her previous employer's new maid was not o.k. and asked for my maid to work for them again and they promised to pay the normal salary which of course I was paying her Day 1.
After a year, I hired my latest maid who has worked for me the longest 2.5 years, 26 years old, single with 7 younger brother & sister. She has finished contract with 1 employer in HK 4 years. She was hardworking, honest but did not know how to take care of the kid (before wokring for me, her previous son is 8 & 12), I hired her because she needs to send money back for her sisters' education fee. However, after she's back from her home leave recently, she resigned and wanted to go back to take care of her family business (she has a big farm to managed and she bought a fish boat (automatic) recently to start business on fish catching) also 3 of her sisters have already worked abroad in Lebanon, Singapore, Brunei.
I really don't have the luck to have maid. I'm the part-time maid for the time being.
