i didnt know got such jab for the helpers, my previous Myanmar helper with me for 2 years never ask or even talk about it, she basically shared all the stories she know to my sis. but from the stories you shared, she really has no heart to work :(, is really painful to look for a decent helper now days :(.

Hey I'm not sure if you're still looking for one. Dd goes to Dr Ong Yean Sze at Novena Medical... she is so gentle and good with kids. Recommend her. My Dd has a really low pain threshold and literally screamed the room down the first few visits (yes even before dentist touched her tteeth), but the past few visits she has been so used to \"pain free\" treatment that she compliantly opened her mouth without asked and happily watching the TV screen to distract herself. No tears at all last few visits.

Thanks I had brought my son to extract his tooth already. I finally found Dr Lim Swee Teck, used to see him for my dd when he was in BT Timah but now he moved to Camden Medical Center under T32.

can just bring him to \"School Dental Clinic\", located at SGH Health Promotion Board, level 4, 2nd Hospital Avenue, for tooth extraction. \"School Dental Clinic\" is for students up to aged 19 year-old.

I have called but need to refer by school dentist, cannot go direct.

I love Blue Mountains and Port Stephen, stayed 3 nights and 4 nights there still felt not enough lol.

Worst tell lies, steal & drink my kid's unfinished milk. So, I attribute more of her lack of exposure. I'll explain it's not 'sayang' but she can take other food in the house I indicated for her. Bacteria will make her sakit & she'll need doc to get well.

my current Myanmar helper also like to steal food. I mean not only her, Indo helpers also but when they got caught, they will just apologise. For this Myanmar, she will tell lies to cover lies trying to get away, that made me really angry. Told her many times if want anything just open their mouth n ask. We never lack of food for her, always buy her tidbits and beverage such as coke etc since she like it. Told her many times that if do wrongly just apologise and dun make the same mistake again, rather than lies and lies and lies.

Estéema:

U'stang their culture & their lack of progress we can ustand & remark less they're stubborn & attribute more for their lack of edn & exposure.

may be that is the case for my Myanmar helper too, she just cannot follow our way of doing despite from day 1 till now tell her umpteen times that cannot keep the clothing when not dry thoroughly (our level of dry and hers are different I think), pot and pan, plates and bowls only dry then keep, often I take out bowls with lines of water, even my mixer got a pool of water, faint. There are many many small little things but add up will really blow us.

But again, this will happen to Myanmar helpers as well as Indo helpers cos I even got a Indo helper, cannot even crack a egg properly.

Most Myanmar maids are like that. They are quite stubborn. Sometimes you teach them to do things in certain manner, they still do it their way.


Most Myanmar maids cannot speak English and this is one of main reasons employers get frustrated. Agency said highest turnover is for their Myanmar maids.

According to maid agency, If one needs the maid just to help out with simple house work, then getting a Myanmar maid is ok. If you need a maid to help out with the housework and take care of your loved ones, most employers don’t have the patience to handle Myanmar maids. Take Indon or Filipino safer choice.

Then I think I am 1 of the patience employer cos my Myanmar helper started with really sucks English till today, as I mentioned before, not very good but can communicate most of the times and she now even know Mandarin.I do think they have flair in Language including Indo helpers. Cos my previous Indo helper with me for 4 yrs, from lousy English to not bad English and not bad Chinese.

My Myanmar helper like super kampong when 1st came, waste water waste electricity, no sense of hygiene, sucks at cleanness etc. But her attitude was good then especially can tahan old folks (cos my MIL is super naggy), and to me most importantly is good character and personality, the rest can be trained (although we vomited a lot of blood).

My household not only needs helper to do simple housework, she need to take care of my 6 yrs old boy. Although my Myanmar helper not really good at housework (we cannot be picky since they are really from kampong, generally farmer) but she is quite good at my son, cos she is also young kid (only 19! I only knew that after she worked for more than 6 months, she also told me her niece came to Spore to work when only 15 yrs old and worked for 4 yrs. Scary right? dunno how they do that, I thought Government has controlled age of 23) and she will play with my son, she even can help me to teach my son chinese spelling (I will need to teach her how to pronounce etc) when I am busy with work.

After have many years with Indo helpers, I decided to try out Myanmar due to the cost and also, I had a few Indo helpers back out last min on me either dun wan take care of young kids or dun wan work with elderly at home, even fresh maids also so picky!
