Thinking of getting one. I heard the Indo ones all run away. Being english speaker also is a plus.

Anybody wanna share experience? How much is the cost/expenses? How it has impacted your home/family?

must ask bananajoe

how la he permaban

ask him in X land

There are also Christian and English speaking Indon maids fyi. We had one for over a decade with 1 day off a week for Church service, no issue at all and totally peaceful 😇

Go to Kotaraya mall on a Sunday. Make new pinay friends there and see what they're like. Belanja makan at a carinderia or the nearby texas chicken.

They wear tight tight during work. Can see bra line.

i used indon
philipino sometime will give black face, which i dont like, also many wayang...Sunday need to go church also...susah

Where to find?

But I head Indo all like to run away one. You must be lucky.

u go singapore orchard road or any park on Sunday, you will see alot Filipine moi, can study their behaviour...

no im not committing scandals

Thru agency. Just need to specify your requirements. I believe mostly they run away due to unreasonably workload etc. 🤷

If young pinay okaylah. If like Makcik Zuraidah

They say mostly due to finding bf or join hubby that already stay outside

u mean gengster celup klang punya so called wife?

If u think that pinoy maid will never run away, u are so wrong

Get indo maid. Take them to your hawker stall and work them like dog.

Any mid would had ran away.

Depends on the person la. Also some employers really teruk one. My Indo maid already with us many years liao.

Some Indo maids actually prefer working at hawker stalls compared to being stuck in the house taking care of kids or old people.

u need to piap them so they will stay .

2feidei got pinoy stock..

Your children will speak broken Spanish English

St John catholic church in Bukit Nanas there manyak filipino maid go there

get from boss 2feidei he got jalan get vietmoi, siambu maid

Wow they will speak Spanish too?

Not Spanish but Spanish English (meaning English like Spanish people talk). The R sound is over vibrated

you must talk sweet and seduce them then they will not run away. if you always scold, pukul make them work like slave sure run lah...

veteran ini...

pinoy will run also kan

how much her pay?

nearlee 3k liao

No wonderla stayback

how you know? u date with them before? just go there last monday.

explain more detail

catholic go to church mah

thank you for information.

Start by walking nude around the house let her see your D

BRB

when I was younger had maids
6 indonesian not one ran away
1 filipino ran away jadi ayam

after that no more maid

why do u need a helper? other than having children or elderly to take care of, u are better off getting part time help

the drama that u will inevitably get with a live in helper might not be worth it

Got children

then no choice.. let yr wife handle it. just man up n pay the expenses #happywifehappylife

lol where they hang out from Monday to Saturday??

What's wrong with Malaysian and maid? So hard to live without maid meh? other developed countries without the maid culture still surviving with no prob.

i had a live in maid before. then she had to go back indonesia to take care of her kids because her husband died and i never looked for a replacement.

i agree that part-time help is a better choice.
1. no need to think about their meals/ their hotel room when travelling/ their tickets when going on holiday
2. i get back my guest room so its easier if i have overnight guests
3. no need to worry about them running away and losing the thousands in up front payment you paid
4. you are not stuck with 1 maid for years and years. my wife didnt like our maid coz her work is sloppy a bit.

Any maids will run away if they have bad attitude (individuality) or/and you treat them like shit.

St Anthony's jln Robertson has some professional pinays.

Monday is very different from Sunday

They gotta work. Think about it.

some dont wear also. can see raisins.

Have pretty ones there or not??

1: get fresh one without working experience

2: if forced to, avoid those worked in saudi arabs(is it called middle east?).

3: prepare your job scope, send to your agent, their agent and the potential maid first before making any interviews.

4; philipines one are more educated, anything they dont like, they will report it to their embassy EVEN if its just a minor issue. ie-cibye majikan tak kasi saya makan at 7am.

5: if possible, deal with them extra pay with NO holiday OUTSIDE your house. some will say they wan holiday OUTSIDE the house with their friends, relatives, fukbuddy or whatever they want. holiday can, just stay in house and diam diam duduk sana.


and the list go on.

so many don'ts, but never explain why

1 get fresh one = they listen to instructions better.
2 those yang came back from saudi, has bad attitude, lazy. thats why only 1-2 years there and kena reject back home already.
3 without your job scope in detail, sending in photos of your house, work area, they will agree to everything. but once in your house, they will start complain OVERWORKED.
4 and 5 nothing need to explain kut.

lari tu maybe tk cume cost mmg mahal dr indo her gaji 2000...sunday kene bawak gi gereja almost 1/2day..menjawab kalo kite bising and buat muke mintak terajang...kids yg die jaga learn english + tagalog hahaha.. if u majikan yg mau notty" they capable to do anything for you (this one even indo pun boleh terjebak).. she said to me she wanna to balik sbb currency almost same dgn Malaysia so i x sure la betul ke tk...

Plus piap her at least 7 times a week

everytime they do good job remember to say "putang ina mo!"

Ayam a fat fark. I think she is, if not worse than me, at least sama standard

like made for each other

got one since early this year to help out with my two kids

- recruitment fee RM13000
- salary USD400/month + USD16 for every sunday worked.. (need to convert from ringgit)
- can eat pork but not so familiar with local food compared to indo
- mine english so so
- work satisfactory thus far

EXACTLY! No1 is the best option.

No 5 is a must!!! Once out, they will want more... Never ever give them out, they will come back and tell u their friend get better perks, etc, and start to show face and demanding...

U wait, once they have HP, start to Tiktok, then all muka also come out...

LOL no la, she is like a big sister to my kids.

Malaysian maid= modern day slavery
Sos: my family
I just moved out, cannot tahan

Another alternative

Get a babysitter that can take care night time

Get part time cleaner

Guarantee less headache than live in helper

... else u pull yr weight and help out..

Hahaha my experience total opposite

1&2
1st Filipino maid fresh without working experience. 4th week cry wanna go back dy. wanna go see parents.
dingdong2 with agent and they agree to give replacement maid for free.
So choose one with working experience. worked in Kuwait for 2 year. turned out to be excellent.

3&4
this one also no strict job scope. just jaga anak clean house help wife to cook.
when nothing to do she also sit watch tv or whatever. janji kerja jalan.
she also prefer like this no need everyday order her to do something
no specific day off also since most of the time not much work also

5.
my maid 6th year now with us. no outside holiday. she went back Philippines twice (1 month each)
but everywhere we go we bring her along la.. makan or holiday. so she also not too fussy.
embassy got call her for interview also she say all ok no problem.
never complain about working & holiday arrangements

read some the replies here of people who have/had maids
no wonder they run away, a bunch of cunt employers who don't treat people like humans

That is nastyyy

Agreed

Cannot leave house even on their off day?
Gila

take part-time je la. 2 times a week datang kemas2.

teruk sangat ke rumah or busy sangat ke sampai need live-in maid.

no wonder ILO/HRW say there is modern slavery in malaysia

If not mistaken Pinoy maid require RM20k agent fee and minimum salary RM3k, in contrast indon maid require RM10-15k agent fee and minimum salary around RM2k

Oh ya in return Pinoy maid will request for Sunday off day.

err...see how u look at it.
not like we dont give her holiday. she can choose which day she wants in the contract.
still being paid for that specific "holiday". no need do anything, u can just laze around the house. makan minum still ditanggung.

why cannot go out?becos u dont want them to bring more problems home.

later become pregnant, sue you for rape. and you in jail while waiting for DNA test report. itupun IF you managed to get one before they run away.

last time our family hired one filipino maid who worked in Jordan (a few years) and she was very good in cooking meat dishes

she worked for us for ~5 years and i think the experience is good. she's well educated (degree i think) and can speak english so unlike those indon maids that we had

Not that easy, they are staying in your house. It is not like a normal workplace where you leave for your own home at the end of the day. And they are there in your house together with your kids/aged parents and all your valuables when you are not around. It takes time to build trust.

A long time ago, one of our first maids, we were pretty relaxed about it. Imagine our shock when we came back after dinner and she was entertaining around 5-6 of her friends in our house. We talked to her after they left and asked her not to invite her friends over in the future. We changed maids not long after that.

Nowadays, we don't care so much, because the current maid has been with us for so long. But in the beginning, yes, I can see where the concern comes from.

My Pinoy maid has been working for my family for the past 35 years +

No problems at all.. Honest and doesn't steal money

Oi you expect your maid to work every day for a week izit? No wonder black face

walao eh, still can work?

You suck as an employer. No wonder Malaysia maids get abused. Have some human decency to let them out once per week..u try staying in someone's home 24/7 for years on.

I don't have a maid at all but I hired one local early educator who's 28 to help watch my two year old son while I'm at work and she will pick him and send him to his doctor/dentist/hair cut appointments.

Much much easier than hiring a maid.

You try first. After you have good experience, you let us know your best practices

No thanks. I'll never hire a maid to jaga my kid 24/7. I feel like I failed as a parent and as an adult to have one. Work until cannot clean the house or jaga the kids on weekends and night? Or cook? Sorry maid=modern day slavery

If they had the choice they wouldn't wanna be one

Very cepat you think of our bro

the agreement is to work on sunday as well, i got paid for sunday as well.

usually some of them have their own thinking, so when you ask them to follow your way, they will black face

Please educate me.

What most of you are saying. No going out. Ever. Except to go back to their home country. Must be at home from Monday to Sunday.

What is this? Modern slavery?

We hired one early this year as we had a 3rd baby otw, and already have a 4yo and 2yo at that time.

Agency fee is going to range from around RM10k-15k

Salary minimum now is about RM1800, their contract bases the minimum wage in USD and not MYR. So if currency exchange is bad, the minimum wage goes up too.

Filipino in general have better English, but depending on where they are from; a lot of "common sense" things to us, is not to them. So have to be clear and detailed with the house rules. This is especially important for things like hygiene and safety.

So far ours is great with the kids, but when it comes to work task and organization always make small mistakes here and there. Quite annoying, but after a few discussions got improvement. Always expect the first 6 months or so to be high friction.

My biggest advice to you is choose the right agency, and I hope you're good at interviewing people. A lot of the candidates we interviewed were obviously lying or answering from a "script" of what the right answer should be. Automatically reject those candidates.

As for agency, we went with PinkCollar. They are quite different in the sense that they don't provide "warranty" and that to me was a plus. Warranty in the maid industry is a bloody scam. By not giving warranty and instead they are committed to solving issues you have with your DH shows they are willing to be responsible and accountable.

T&C, before employment already state clearly, dont agree, then dont sign

willing then take, not willing then go, there is no forcing
not all ppl like to go out, bcos go out they will need to spend for their own breakfast/lunch/dinner etc

Ooof lowblow

How much?

Ok la, I share my experience. Although since it was so long ago, I may have forgotten some things.

When she first came, we did not allow her to have Sunday off, not exactly an issue with Indonesian maids. Still isn't actually. We bring her out when we go out for dinner and we always try to keep an eye on her. At one point we were thinking of a cctv lol. All valuables in locked drawers or the safe at all times.

Then you start to relax after a while. You are ok with leaving her alone for increasingly longer periods of time.

Once you get past the 2-3 year mark, she starts to become like part of the family.

Nowadays, if my daughter is working and it is just us, we just bring her along when we go to the supermarket or something. Although most of the time she just asks us to tapau something for her la. She has a big house back in Indonesia and usually asks us to go with her on a trip back. Maybe next round la.

Not giving warranty shows they are responsible and accountablr?

Apa ketahian

His dupe is running wild.

To lure him out....u know wat banana hates the most

kaya butter toast?

I hire her like a normal employee under my company pay roll. Paying for epf and sosco. 10% increment of pay every year. Her pay now stands at 2.8k

You know what most of the warranty agencies do? they just cycle the maids.

So you just replace one f`ked up maid with another.

Wta if take maid from the agency will you get to choose the maid from a lineup and get to interview them or they just send you whoever they feel like sending over??

Read up the thread. Got ppl share on this

ayam tatau, ayam virgin ©

I asked before, the agency said that they will usually hire out as daily paid workers, or temporary maids.

My time, is they have a list like resumes, then they will arrange a time when you can come over and interview the maid. The agent advised me at that time to leave everything to do with that part to my wife to prevent any problems later on. I still remember lol.

Not sure now they have zoom meetings or not lol.

My experience has been good. 7 years and counting. She had worked in Middle East previously where the employer was quite tough. Cost of hiring a new maid every two years is well over RM10k. So I'm more than happy to share the savings with her every time she renews contracts via salary increases. Most successful bosses will advise you to pay more to keep good staff happy. I practice the same at home too. Maid salary at your discretion. I would suggest RM2K+ a month. Don't forget Filipino maid must pay monthly SOCSO now as the embassy will ask for proof later. This is legally required since 2022, but I'm told that the Indonesian embassy so far hasn't checked. Other costs such as meals also at your discretion. Can be low RM100 per week, can be much higher too if maid follows out for meals and shares same food. Impact on home & family is highly positive.
