Maid crisis by Sajnu
Hi all my dear frds, I really need some valuable suggestions on hiring helpers from seniors here. In my 3 years time, I have been hiring 11 helpers. It's the worst experience each time. They need a day off every week and most of the time they ...
Hi mugtech, I do have a thick skin always but pinpointing nationalities among expats is not a good idea here since we are all expats in Philippines. We need to focus on a topic and not poke at each other. Jokes are good to be maintained at a ... Read More

Please don't abuse countries in your conversation. I am not bringing any country into the topic. My topic is about maids in Philippines. In India we treat our maids just like one among us and so did I do the same here as well. It is not my fault ... Read More

Hi, This is a forum to help expats and not to make fun of expats whatever nationality you are. Indian standards are not something that you can laugh at. I was paying all my maids 10K and if they needed anything extra, I give them that too but as ... Read More

I always give them breaks during noon. Sometimes they just tell me they don't like to sleep or take naps in the day. Also they sleep very early. Read More

In many houses they stay even with a monthly day off and the salary and benefits are not that high. Ideally once a week day off is what happens now. Read More

Sorry I am not like that. I always pay every 15 days. The main job of my maid is to do overall cleaning plus laundry. The assisting of my baby is when I am doing ny cooking which is not a 24 hour job. I don't allow any of my maids to learn ... Read More

Most of the maids who came usually wake up according to their own will by 4 am or 5 am. What I understand is nowadays maids don't like to assist in cooking nor look after the baby. They all want higher pay but no work! If we ask them to assist ... Read More
