First contract, $350 (no bonus). 2nd contract $400 (1 mth bonus) and now $500 (2 mth bonus). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But although I don't offer that much as bonus, I used this to offset against her school fees of about $1000 per year as she is pursing a drgree offered by the Indonesia school. I feel she deserve a better life and want her to have a better future if she goes back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Supersonic January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 Your maid must be very motivated to work for you! Yes, but she dererves it. She is devoted to my kids, worries about them when they fall sick etc. She makes the extra effort to go through cook books to cook new and interesting dishes for my family so that we don't eat the same thing all the time. Even on her days off, if my kids are sick, she will sms me to remind me to give my kids their medicine! Whenever we want to buy her new clothes/shoes etc., she will decline and won't even take money from me for haircuts. She knows she has a good deal compared to other Indon maid and she is very motivated to do a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel she deserve a better life and want her to have a better future if she goes back. I also wanted to pay for her to study for a degree but she is not interested in studying any more. Now with the money she's saved, she bought a sugar cane plantation back in Indon and she told us that on her last holiday home, the workers on the plantation called her "boss".... ha ha But she has already done all the MOM courses on computer skills, cooking, baking etc so now looking for other courses to sign up for.

She can do house work, obedient also very caring and devoted to take care of my child. When go shopping, she will ask my wife to save up dun have to buy expensive food or items for house. Towards the end of the 2 years contract. We caught her stealing money and put inside milk power, privately bought a HP and SMS to a guy (not her husband), wear my wife clothes to take pic..etc. We were all very disappointed and sent her home. Lesson learnt.. No matter how good they are, do not trust them totally. 95% is ok but not 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learnt.. No matter how good they are, do not trust them totally. 95% is ok but not 100%. When a supposedly good maid goes astray...the fault does not lie solely on the maid. The employer should bear part of the blame becos it is the responsiblity of a good employer to keep the maid motivated to produce good work by keeping her happy and makes sure her time is spend constructively. It is the same as for parents who have kids. How one is a good parent or employer, that have a definite effect on their kids or maid, is ultimately shaped by the way they manage their kids or maid. The working environment, their daily duties and the benefits and rewards that goes to make a good working relation, is exactly the same as to what the employer himself/herself gets to experience when they work for someone too. They say that nice and wonderful ppl, makes those around them to have the same disposition too but unfortunately there are not many of such cases to be seen.

This I agree, used to have a good made that goes astray cause treat her too good, thus she take it for granted overtime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
