Does your helper discipline your children like you?

Are you at home with your children most of the time?

Depending on the nationality. For Indo, I hear from my friends the agency fee alone is close to 2K


I just called a couple of agency today since my helper decides to go home next Feb . All the agencies I called hv implemented the change. Nation is charging $2600 for agency fee +++ and plus 7%GST + don't know what documentation fee the maid has to bear and this is the only fee we can deduct from salary The other agency is charging $2500 +++ also- and all no more free replacement!

I guess what we have to do is to add up all the cost and see the difference since there are so many other charges

sigh.. my helper is down with chicken pox! she been resting at my home for about a week already. I had to change my arrangement in the caring of my girl. (thank God is school holidays now)


if you willing and know helper is staying long with you , try to vaccine her (and family members) against chicken pox. really hard to say when and who can get it. :xedfingers:

With the jab, it really helps a lot. My kids and I had the jab and the chickenpox experience was mild...but hubby was badly hit.

My brother's Myanmar maid arriving this sat...my mum having the jitters bcos she had been maid less for many years. Further more Myanmar maid cannot speak English and newbie.

my girl also had the jab when young, but i still hope she doesnt' catch it. By this week, it will be 14 days of rest for helper and 14 days incubation period over for my girl too.

good luck to your mum! :xedfingers:

Anything she saw that my child misbehaves, she will report to me and I will discipline my child myself. Already told her since day 1. Previous helper tried to be the \"fortress\" when I discipline my child and I told her not to. Don't like it.

Brother’s Myanmar helper just came…so far she has been ok…but have to be patient with her as she can speak limited English. But she gets along with my kids. Both of them are teaching her English.

Just want to warn others of terrible service provided by Upview Employment Service. One of the owners is Emilin Neo- the before and after sale attitudes are a vast difference!


Had a shockingly bad experience so thought other parents should know and avoid it.

Too long a story… From not being Case Trust Accredited company thought it stated and many other lies told by them.

Too a certain extent, I can understand if the maid agency cannot control the quality of maids… But I cannot tolerate if there is lack of service when agency fees have been paid, and when lies are told and misrepresentation of loan refunds in contracts.
