Hi,

I am looking to hire a maid, probably Cambodian or Indonesian.
Am really scared of approaching maid agencies on my own or from ad as have had bad previous experience dealing with some.

Can someone recommend a good and affordable maid agency?

And also, if you could give your opinions on whether Cambodian or Indonesian maids are better, in your opinion.
I will need the maid to do mostly household chores, but also occassionally take care of my babies when my in laws are busy preparing dinner or so...

Thanks.

Why not philipino's? I heard theyre quite good. Not that i have any experience in maids, cuz i dont have one and dont want one.

Ive read alot bout maids, so do really becareful of which maid u choose.

Philipino maids are more expensive, and more demanding too.
I have one Indonesian maid now, but her term is up and we are sending her back.

Cambodians are probably more submissive, and cheaper.

i have experienced cambodian, indonesian, thai and philiphino maids. the best is cambodian , besides their eating habits, their actually the best. indonesian maids nowdays are just getting worst.

Been waiting for a cambodian maid for nearly 4 months now

i have experienced cambodian, indonesian, thai and philiphino maids. the best is cambodian , besides their eating habits, their actually the best. indonesian maids nowdays are just getting worst.

I don't think u can get an indonesian maid now. They are in high demand and the agencies that have jalan to get them will raise their prices.

My maid agency is good... google "nation maid agency".

Some popular bloggers use their service. thats how i got the recommendation.

But my friend just call them and says they got no indonesian. Other maids yes, profile on website.

What nationality is your current maid?
Am considering between hiring a housemaid, or sending my baby to daycares.
The charges are around that amount per month for both.

I m trying to get a maid from Sabah :-)

Added on August 19, 2011, 4:03 pmI m not very sure whether cambodian maid can take care of children of babies, as they are a bit blur ( not saying all ) , due to the communication difficulties

Sometimes just our luck to get a good maid

Hi,

What nationality is your maid? And how much was the agency charges and monthly charges for maids are how much?

She is an indonesian. still manage to get indonesians in one year ago. but now, no more...

monthly RM 650. total agency charges around 10k with 7 months advance salary.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as affordable maids. Most of the countries do not have maids but it seem like a common here. Be prepared to pay RM10 - 12k for the maid and agency fee. Of course, this includes the maid initial 6 or 6 and 1/2 months pay. Which means, for the first 6 months pay, you dont need to pay her salary because already included in the initial fee.

There is also no good maid, to find one is like to find the highest class diamond in the mines. Needle in a haystack. You have to be watchful and never to trust them with you children alone. Though they may not harm your children but their hands are dirty as that is how they have lived, in poverty - else dont have to come Malaysia become maid. The good ones goes to countries that pay them more like Hong Kong, Middle East, etc.

Depending on your location, you may and may not get any maids now but if you are from Klang, you may visit AP Sentosa Maid Agency in Bandar Bukit Raja. They are ok but not the best. There is another in Bandar Bukit Tinggi II, forgot the name but is better.

From personal experience, we have had very good Indonesian maids. They were really kind and top of maid class many years before but over the years, those that are new are either lazy or crazy. We had one that strip totally naked and slept in the couch middle of the night saying it was due to heat. COMPLETELY NAKED, we sent her off.

Today, we prefer Cambodian because they dont lie as much and they dont steal as much. Indonesia is one of the earlier countries, along with Philliphines that produces maids for better Asian countries, so over the years, their people get more big headed as opposed to Cambodia which is fairly new, possibly less than 10 years of maid supply experiences.

How is it communication wise for cambodian maids?

Troublesome but after a few months, things got better. Only a little patience is required when working with these people and as usual money is motivation. You can always tell her that if her work is incomplete or done improperly, you will deduct her salary. Things get better overtime unless you have some fiery hot temper or something.

Hi all... I hope someone could help me out here. Am looking for a trustworthy maid's agency. Please recommend any ?? I need a maid ASAP

Thanx

I think you can Google what is already mentioned above.

Well thanx. Actually, none of the agencies has any indon maids right now, besides Philippians. Indon maids will arrive only in mid feb or early Mar. Agents fee is abt 8k.

I think a lot of agencies are bringing in tourists who wish to work as maids. The Indon will travel from anywhere to Jakarta, and then boat to Batam, come in via Singapore and the agencies here will hook them up with permit to work as maid.

Remember, Indonesia govt block but Malaysia govt still open. This is alternative route for them.

yup thats right but they will be coming in by mid Feb or early Mar, but its crazy that agencies hike up their fee till RM12k, ridiculous. I have found one, dealing with Indon christian maids, agents fee RM8500, salary RM550-850, depends on working experience, 6mths salary deduction. seems on I suppose.

Actually, we just hired a new maid.

Agency fee is 8515
Maid 6.5 months salary is 4225
Second maid levy is 180

meaning mthly salary is RM650?? and deduction 6.5mth?? If so, it sounds like a good deal, where about is this agency??

Bandar Bukit Tinggi 2, Klang... facing Jusco.

Hi Merchant9,

I would appreciate it if you are able to furnish us the name of the company & how long since you have engage the service of this company? Thank you very much!

Hi felixwang,

The company name is AP Kenanga at BBT2, near the 7-11 convenient store. It's a few shops away but on the 1st floor. We have only engaged their service in December 2011.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Merchant9,

May i know what maid you hired? philipino or indonesian? as i know cambodian is now block by their government and mind got stuck during that time and i manage to get my full refund at last year NOV.

Hello, we got an Indonesian who came as a tourist but the agent arranged her work permit here after they arrived. It's blocked by their govt but not ours, this it's legal.

Hi, does the maid agency deal with Thai maids as well?

Did they arrange for the Indonesian maid to come here? Or you found her and ask her to come here on a tourist visa then get the agency to handle the work permit?

My Indonesian maid is going back soon and I'm looking for a new one. My current maid agency says that they only have Filipino and Vietnamese maids, as government don't allow Indonesians and Cambodians now.

They arranged for it, not me. I just went to the agency and saw some options, pick one. That's it.

Meanwhile, one of our Cambodian maid also going back next month. We are also looking for one.

The information I received is that, next month onwards, Indon can come in but not Cambodian.

Salary is RM700 per month
Each Sunday is a free day but if you required her to work means RM27 per day.
RM27 x 4 sundays = RM108
+ 700
= RM808 per month.

Very expensive now.

I see. Maybe I'll go over and see if they still does such procedures. Can you PM me their office number? Would really appreciate that.

Yea I also heard that by April, we will be able to hire Indonesian maid. Cambodian haven't heard anything yet.

I'm not very concern about the price since my household will need a maid one way or another. Of course cheaper better.

You got PM.

anyone can help? I am looking for maid too. My latest maid from Philippines is giving problem and agency also not helping since it is over warranty period.

Anyone have a good solution to filter maid agencies and maids?

Thanks.

BTW, is there any part time maid that I can hire? Maybe come 3 times a week and do laundry, wash toilets and others, mop floor and so on. Prefer to hire these maid "directly". Anyone have contact?

If your PH maid giving problems post warranty, then it's a big loss for you because if she leave, you lose all the agency fees you've paid. I think try your best to retain her and send her for counselling. I have a maid who is like that too but just have to bear with it.

Part time maid really depends on your location - ask around your neighbours to see if there's any. Usually it's not that hard to find.

Hi, my cambodian maid has been with me for almost 1 year, she came to my house last year end of July. i just realize whether or not i should renew anything? work permit? i saw her passport expiry date is 2014, so that one no prob, but working permit have to renew annually???

Im looking for a Sri Lankan maid

Anyone got any agency to reccomend? thanks

after over 10 years using maid and using various agents (big company, small company, self company and so on). I can say there are NO good maids agency. All are operating with hanky panky style of business and running using all the nook and cranny of immigration law.

You got money, they nice to you. Once you paid them..when got problem 99% don't bother with you anymore. Just get one that from a reputable company which is less likely to cheat or irresponsible.

Anyone can tell me wat to do and how to do???? my ph maid is so lazy house work cant finish,children cant takecare dunno wat she can do! The important things is she ask ppl come my house to find her, and dunno when she know few bangala here. With the problem i send back to agency. after 3 week i ask the agent how the maid, the agent tell me the maid she pass to another employer d & i have to get a new maid and paid another 7k. And now the maid work for another employer with my permit. So wat can i do for the agency?

This post has been edited by crazyfeel: Jun 18 2013, 03:41 AM

Go to consumer tribunal or this maid agency body. I forgot the name, you need to Google.

We just hired a Filipina maid from an agency in Puchong. Only 2 weeks and got problem di..discovered she got skin problems.. Just called the boss, telling her about the problem. Her reply is not very comforting at all, she said at least this maid won't run away, won't flirt, won't this won't that..bla..bla...wtf...we pay almost RM12k to hire a helper to solve our household problem, now we have to help solve her problem... Most maid agency are rip-offs...just know how to make money, but when got problem, just shy away...

Hi everyone. I've been reading your posts, and I agree that there are a lot of bad and good experiences out there regarding maid agencies. I'm also in the midst of looking for a maid to look after the house hold chores to spare my ageing parents from doing them. I think it'll be good if we could actually get feedback on which agencies to look out for if they provide bad services. Those with good services should be recommended, and if others can verify that the agency is good, then we will be able to help one another as well.

I would also prefer Filipinos or Indonesian (as communication is easier), but as we're a chinese family, we prefer non-muslim domestic helpers as we have dogs, and also would be handling pork in our meals.

So,thanks for the previous recommendations, but can anyone else give feedback on their experiences with these agencies? Would appreciate it very much..Maybe you can state the name of agency, as well as experience and the rough price that you paid for the handling of the domestic helper? We as consumers do deserve to know if certain agencies are irresponsible or charging exorbitant fees. If we can compare and help each other, we would be able to give business to the deserving agencies.. afterall, who would want to entrust their children or families to the hands of incapable or dubious domestic helpers right?

Anybody know where I can find good hourly home cleaning service at KL area???
Thanks

It depends on your area and your requirement of the part time maid. Do you want an Indon, Pinoy or Sri Lankan?

I use a regular part time cleaning service for the past two years. Some people don't mind different cleaners to come every week. But I will only use the same cleaner to clean my house once a week for 4 hours. With the same cleaner, you don't have to brief them again and again on how to clean and what areas to clean. However if the same cleaner is on leave or MC, you will be without cleaner for the week.

If you are within Desa Park City, Kepong, Manjalara, Kepong, Bdr Sri Damansara and Sg Buloh, I can PM the number of cleaning company to you.

i plan to apply for domestic maid. any good recommendations for maid agencies around klang area? thank you.

Hi everyone,
I understand that nowadays lots of agency just want to make quick profit, promise this and that but in the end is different story. It cause customer lost their confidence on agency companies and will not hire a ANY housemaid anymore.

Last time my parents hired a Indo maid at Puchong but the services is not what we expected, the maid just work for a week then disappear. We made a police report and go to that company, they told us nothing they can do because of the passport also took away by the maid. I feel very upset & regret due to we not see clearly about the TERMS & CONDITIONS.

My auntie applied a Indo housemaid at Kuchai Lama - Agensi Pekerjaan Venture Provision Sdn Bhd, the package price is reasonable and the service they giving is great. Because of last time experience, I told my auntie to look CACEFULLY about the T&C. The sales staff are kind and patience, explain one by one to us.

The Indo maid is doing a great job in our house. Even the sales is done, but they also will follow up see whether customer facing any issue. We are happy and satisfy the services.

Any general enquiries can contact 03-79842688.

Hi All,

Any maid / contact to recommend who can work for 6 months to 1 year ? thanks

The advertised MaidWizard is not a professional maids agency. Their favourite word is "we are dealing with people". Yes, we are people dealing with alience like them. They are alience. This guy don't know to talk to customer. He will ask "which jargon world are you from?" because he is from another space.

This agency will drag your application process. Give you false hope that the helper will arrive on certain date which they know they cant comply with it. They will not update you on the delay until 1day before the expected day, even then, you should call to get an update full of disappointment that there is further delay.

They are proud to say that, they have advertised in Sri Lankan TV station about their agency. Then, will tell you that they only make RM800.00 profit. Are they expecting us to pay for their advertising fee.

They are NOT Malaysians, or, do not know Malaysia well. They are not aware of day care (Taska), immigration processes, our government operating procedures, online availability of immigration status checks. They are well verse with Sri Lankan procedures and people.

They impose such high price, with nice words that they are very professional and licensed agency. Think, why this professional were not provided with a licence to have their own website in Malaysia. Why this license agency do not know the timeline of the immigration.

My advice, do check your immigration application online. Enter your ic number to know your application status. Our immigration strictly adere to the timeline provided in their website. This agency will not agree with it. They keep blaming our immigration for the delay. Whereas, we are monitoring our status online.

Filipino.. most of them are educated and they can speak English.

Do anyone have any good house cleaning service to recommended? I live near ampang

I know there're those cleaning service that come to yr house to spend few hrs to clean up. Recommend by u guys will be great.

Thank you

Any reliable agencies in JB ? Can I get a maid in KL & then bring her to work in JB ?

Don’t every take maids from this thuggish agent – Agensi Pekerjaan PMA. Supplied me with an incompetent maid from day 1 with mental health issue & severe absent-mindedness with no prior housemaid experience at all, contrary to maid’s biodata – clearly a misrepresentation. Before my tribunal hearing, received annoymous threatening calls from strangers & upon court award, the lady boss threatened to quash the award by bringing to the high court. A real thug!

Anyone come across or engage this maid agency, Jobs C&N before?

Looks quite informative and reliable from their website. Even with videos, etc...

Kindly share your opinion. Thanks.

Yup, they are legit. Had a great maid that has returned to the Phillippines now and we wonder if we can ever get such a good maid in the future (hopeful we will). Mr Andrew Cheng is a patient man who will answer your questions on the phone and if there are anything wrong or disputes between boss and maid you can bring it to him and he will video tape the statement from the maid, etc. One word - accountable. Of course a good agency does not guarantee that the maid is good because they are depending on the maid being interviewed on the video being able to promise this and that but then changed their mind or take back their words which is not within the agency's control.

Please share now!

Non-compliance with tribunal award by maid agency

I have been locked in a disagreement with PMA maid agency in Puchong for not fulfilling their obligations. I requested for refund from the agency but failed. After went through hard time attempting to get back my money, I found my last hope – consumer tribunal.

My case was set to be heard at the tribunal on 15 October 2014. The tribunal President awarded me a refund to be paid by the maid agency within 14 days or the maid agency will face criminal charges under Section 117(1) APP 1999!!

But unfortunately, the maid agency refused to refund after 14 days. I made a complain of non-compliance with the award to the Enforcement Division, Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism on 30 October 2014.

On 29 January 2015, my lawyer served the maid agency a Notice 218 which they have to pay the refund within 21 days. As until today 1st March 2015, I still have not get back my hard-earned money yet!!

I want JUSTICE!!! Please tell me where can I find it……… Please help...

Hi, Hope all is well with you. I am currently 4 months pregnant working lady and i am looking for a maid for my mum who will be taking care of baby. Do you know any good agency ?

Looking forward for your reply. Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, I engaged them in November 2014 and yet I still haven't get my maid at this moment.

At first, they were giving the reason that 2.5-3 months is the normal processing time until the maid actually arrive in malaysia.

Then, I was told that the maid I selected didn't show up and she lives in outskirts area which is very difficult for communication.

Now, the reason is that it's partner agency in Philippine is having issue to renew it's license.

I might go through the same, but I hope not.

Hi, I am currently looking for one as well. Do you know any contacts of good agency ? I am living in Puchong. To take care of baby and house chores.

Hi, I am currently looking for one as well. Do you know any contacts of good agency ? I am living in Puchong. To take care of baby and house chores.

S218 is a winding up petition which enables you to as the name implies "wind up" the company and sieze all the companies unencumbered assets.

Since you have a Lawyer, what does your Lawyer have to say.

Have you checked with the Enforcement Division, Ministry of Domestic Trade as to what action the Ministry can do.

Have you tried forwarding a complaint to the Home Ministry, believe Maid Agency License requres Home Ministry approval alsoo

Agensi Pekerjaan PMA, Penang HQ & branches in Alor Setar, Puchong & Cheras has committed criminal offense of not abiding in MORE THAN ONE award handed down by the Tribunal Court.

I had my court hearing with PMA Penang on 4th September 2014. Thanks to social media, I came to know of a lady in the same dilemma as me. In both hearings, the judge has awarded us monetary refund due to misrepresentation & incompetent maids who ran away just weeks into their employment.

PMA has not only defied the 14 days deadline to pay the award but has ignored appointments fixed by the Penang's Ministry of Trade & Consumerism enforcement officers to investigate their non-compliance. This has been dragging on in the past 6 months.

We are at our wits end. To date, we have served PMA through our lawyer the Notice 218 which gives them a 21 days deadline. They blatantly ignored this too!!

Hi all, I am using this agency currently, their maids are good in cleaning and very nice. I have been using their service since last year. Affordable and reliable too. You may try to contact him at 017-2009967 ya.

can anyone recommend any good agency for fulltime maid? Im looking for one to take care of my 6 months old baby.
location: Cheras, Sel

i would like to advise to avoid this agency, Jobs C&N at all cost. Similar experience to our fellow member here, kiori they have delayed our application for more than 6 months citing the same reason.

They are totally not professional at all. After comparing notes, we found out that the agency owner, andrew cheng is not being honest all at all. Some of the information given by him doesnt even tally with what he had said.

Before paying deposit, he was all friendly and approachable but after you have paid deposit, attitude was all different.

better think twice before you engage him for your maid application service.

royle in this thread also facing the same problems as far as i know.

The last reason given to me was the maid didn't pass the medical checking. I requested for the report, but did not provide me after a week. Immediately I called for cancellation after the whole 8 months long of back and ford.

The refund was minus off 1,400++, which they claiming they have done THINGS and that the processing fee.

I requested the report even after I got my refund. Again, "promised and forget".

Hi.. Anyone of here can recommend some gd and reliable indonesian maid agency.. Thanks

Looking for good agency too. Pls help.
