While reading xiaxue's blog about her maid and that inspired me to write mine. I strongly agreed that to have a stranger at home can be a struggler but we need help. If found one good maid, she will be indeed a helper and it's a blessing to the family, but if got one omg maid, it will be a disaster. Never expect myself to have a maid so long, initial thoughts was to have a maid for 2 to 4 years, once janelle goes to school and more independently, i wouldn't need a maid. But cos Janelle condition, the attention and energy required are much more hence till now i still cant let go of a maid and take care janelle and this house alone.
This is my 5th maid in 5 years since i had Janelle. 1st, she loves janelle very much and very kind but cleaning she doesnt meet my mil standard and had been crying since day 1 cos she missed home so much. she cutted janelle when noone asked her to when she is only weeks old. hus was so angry and sent her back. 2nd, vain pox and she steal my sis and sis in law make up, jewellery and my mil money. Because of her, my house are armed with CCTV. 3rd, ok.. not very good nor very bad, she went back after 2 yrs which neither one want to renew. 4th, my best maid of all, she not only took very good care of janelle but also keeping this house very clean and good care for the family. We brought her oversea for holidays but she need to go back after 2 years to get marry which both families had prepared for years. I missed her so so much. As for my 5th maid... and sorry but i have to let her go.
My requirement of maid is very similar, just need to keep the house relatively clean and able to take care of janelle. This maid is giving me big headache, with lots of cannot make it, below are some of the example:
1. stated in her portfolio that she had 5 yrs experience in chinese family in Jakata, that's a lie. She dont even know how to cook rice. she has a magic hand that the floor gets dirtier when she cleans. remembering green cloth is for kitchen and purple cloth for rooms takes her 2 weeks to remember. she ironed the shirt is as if no iron before. she doesnt know that wash toilet need to brush toilet bowl.
2. stated that she took care of children before, that's a lie. She scalded janelle with very hot running water (the water heater showing overheated) on janelle back while showering for her. common sense of testing water she doesnt seems to have. when she first time see janelle having seizure, she sit quietly beside janelle without getting panic nor calling me for help. Doesn't know if she has the sense of dangerous. lied to me that she brushed teeth for janelle every morning. Need one hour to feed janelle dinner.
All things i can keep my eyes closed, but when it comes to janelle, i am very careful and taking care of special needs child is not suitable for her, hence i will let her go.
After been thru all this, luck and also the agency where you get your maid from also make a different. The first day my current maid arrived, we nearly send her off as we suspected skin disease because she having patches of open wound on her. After understanding from her, it because of the bed bugs in the Indonesia training center. I took all her clothes and washed on that very day and help her applied medicine. And banned her from touching janelle for 3 days till her wound closed up. The agency words also cannot be trust. when i told the agency that i doubt she has 5 yrs working experience in Chinese family where she cant even understand a single Chinese, then they told me that the information are provided by the maid so may not be true. Isn't agency responsibilities to validate? This agency can still bargain with me on the salary that to pay to the maid. haiz. after this one, me and my husband had blacklisted this agency. praying that the 6th would be a blessing one.
