HELP - Need full time Helper for 7mth baby!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Does anyone know of any good maids looking for an employer and who likes to look after Babies? We need one urgently! Both my husband and I work and we dont have full time help...


We have been very unlucky with hiring maids to look after our baby who is now 7mths and we have gone through 3 maids already.


This has been so stressful apart from the financial loss of paying the maids notice, airfares, agency fees it is also very draining for my husband and I.

We have a lovely baby daughter who is always cheerful and so easy to look after but it seems hiring maids is such a nightmare for us!


Hope someone out there know of a good maid they can refer us to.


THANKS!

Good point. Perhaps you need to interview maids a bit more carefully in future - you say it's causing you a lot of stress, well imagine the stress it causes these women and their families if they are hired and then fired so quickly (unless they have done something really bad...).

I actually have a great helper to recommend but I certainly wouldn't advise her to take such an unstable position.

I didnt want to list out their problems but we have just been unlikely.. here's the story.


The 1st one Filipino has been in HK for over 14yrs and was very sly and uncorporative. She ran up her mobile bill and lawyers were sending letters to sue her at our address, she asked us for money and when turned her down she turned into an ugly animal.


2nd one, Indonesia 2yrs experience in Singapore. Very hard working but was terrible with baby (dont think she like children). Eventually she made my mother-in-law cry and we had to get rid of her.


3rd one. Filipino who has not worked overseas before, worked for us for 5 days and told us she is homesick and looking after our 7mth baby made her miss her 2yr boy at home!!

I am in the process of trying to find job for ex-neighbour who has left HK (not sure how I got this job!) The helper is now back in Phillipines - she has experience with western family and babies, good references and very gentle. She has sent me all her paperwork and she has had a good release.

Dont worry I had the same nightmare and now have got a great girl. Let me know if you are interested

If you are interested please mail me at besuor@yahoo.com. Thanks

Thanks everyone!! We found a maid this weekend. Fingers crossed that this one works out this time!
