I sacked the Middle East maid after several months. Employers there have several maid and mine cannot take care of kids, cannot cook and does housework like a snail. Very stupid too.
Now, the new one has Singapore experience. Much better, but has bad memory.
My maid also worked in the Middle East for 5 yrs before. She was the only maid in the house and the house was big. She had to take care of 2 kids and both the Madam and Sir had to go to work. I think they were not too rich so they only hired 1 maid!!! and the Madam had to go to 2 jobs!!! haha!!!
She is so far ok, but sometimes she will do it her own way! I think she is too experienced (5 yrs)....!!!
Same here...
my fired bunbun lied she has newborn experience. Only after coming then she admitted in Dubai she only cleaned - and she complained why here she had to take care of my bb AND cleaned ( ...
To be fair, maids who have experience from anywhere over the world may be good or bad. It depends on their character. My 1st maid is a local maid who has 20 years exerpience in HK and had been working for 1 employer for over 10 years. But she is terrible. Now, I am having a maid with 4 years Dubai experience. Except for her cooking skill, she is very okay so far. She is the only maid of her previous employer and has exeprience taking care 1 infant and a toddler at the same time.
