Is not easy to find a maid that u are comfortable with. Good luck.
It's not the maid but agent that I'm comfortable with. Almost everyone tells me that it depends on my luck to get a good maid. I do not want to depend on luck - no guarantee -that's why I look for a good and trustworthy agent.
She had only one transfer maid, wanted me to interview her but she was taken up just a day before I got to meet her - so sad. I told her I need one urgently but a new maid takes about 3 weeks to be at my place. Since her work at the new employer will only start in 2 weeks time, the agent let me have her for 2 wks while waiting for the new one to come. This maid came only yesterday and she has been working non-stop, without me asking. She takes a lot of initiative - clearing cupboards and shoe cabinets on her own. I had to ask her to stop and rest. Maybe, I'm a first time employer - not very used to being served and having someone in the house working non-stop. She learns fast too and remembers my instructions and preferences. It really helps to have an extra pair of hands - life is not so rush and hardly need to scold kids due to lack of time. So sad, it is only for 2 weeks. However, since I trust this agent and am comfortable with her style, the new maid hopefully will not be that bad. My sister-in-law came to visit and she served her drinks on her own!
