佢o地日薪大約$120 - this is WRONG. You have not counted in meal expenses ($1000+ a month), accommodation expenses ($1500 based on $50/day in boarding house and sure your place is far much better + free use of water and electricity), return ticket, medical insurance. This amounts to $6500 a month or more.
Based on their 26 working days a month, their daily wage is $250, which is 8.9 times of $28. Besides, they do not have travel expense. Are they working as efficient as those workers in the catering and cleaning sectors?
The reality is - we take or leave it. Given the stay in nature of their job, it is really a big struggle as it is not easy to subsituted by local EE. I tried to find a local EE that can stay till 9pm but it is difficult as many local EEs have to cook dinner at home.
I'm also a FTM and my helper has exactly the same issues as yours but since i didnt expect much from the helper so she's still here working for me. The reason i still keep her is she doesnt steal and no black face. For the things she does wrong, i would repeatedly tell her in a calm way until she gets it. Once in a while, i might go in the kitchen and help her make dinner and she seems to appreciate it and do a better job. She's good at cleaning and so so at cooking, same problem as your helper it takes long time 4 hrs to make a simple dinner including cleaning. I've hired few helpers before and i noticed every helper has different problems and main thing is they have good attitude and wants to have a job. If its ability issue, you might need to give them more time to learn to meet your requirements. I've hired smart helpers before but then they might have attitude problem so i think i'm yet to get one that has it all.
You are not alone. FTM =/= tai tai !
My last maid is gone (for Christmas) & my new one is yet to come. During the past 3 weeks, I take care of my 2 kids by myself while teaching my son for his exam. My kids get up from bed in time, finish their breakfast & go to school happily. They eat more during dinner as I cook better than my maid... No doubt I am busier without a helper but at least I don't have mood swings!!!!! I don't need to waste time to teach a dumb head & see their black face.
