My wife and I are expecting a child and we need a maid or yaya. I have had so many bad experiences with maids, particularly maid agencies. Most maid agencies will charge you 4000-6000 pesos for a finders fee. If that maid ends up not being qualified or has an attitude, you can replace ONE TIME. If you replace the 2nd time, then you have to pay ANOTHER finders fee. It's a scam. Even the most popular maid agency has that ONE TIME replacement deal. Here's what happens. The maid works for a couple of weeks, then when they finally earn their first salary, they pay off all their debts, they go back to the agency, rest, then the agency finds another potential employer. The agency makes another 6000 and the maid uses the money she's earned to relax and go shopping. She gets free room and food while she is staying in the agency so the money she earned is pure profit. The agency actually MAKES MORE MONEY if the maid doesn't last long. The more replacement, the more money they make. Their priority is to provide maids for new customers, not replacements for existing customers. They make money on new customers, not existing ones that need replacement. That model is such a scam. Here's the danger. You're letting these dishonest people in your home. They know how to get in and out. Our last maid was horrible. Her husband is a shabu addict who would constantly text me and my wife. The maid herself would say "Ang boring naman dito. Sa dati kong boss umiinom kami pag weekend." I fired her stupid ass and asked for a replacement. The replacement, again this is the top agency online, was illiterate and couldn't even operate a thermos to boil water. Boom, 6000 pesos gone, plus the salary of the 2 maids that didn't even last a month. 4-6k each maid. That's a total of 18 thousand pesos wasted. I wish there was a maid agency out there that has online reviews and resumes of each maid in their firm. That way the firm and the maid have an online record and you get to see how things really are. There should be a way for there to be a consequence for maids who don't last a month. Let that be on their online review record. Saan ba kumukuha ang mga mayayaman ng mga maid? Yung mga naka uniform? I dunno anyone in the province and I refuse to go to another agency. We are decent people. We don't curse, shout, or mistreat our employees. We are fair and we pay weekly 1k or higher. We give benefits and provide minimum wage if the maid deserves it. We own a BPO firm that employes 12 people and we have had no complaints on our treatment as employers. I feel like these maids are just using us as a "Quick way to earn money then quit" type of deal. I can't have my child around people like that. Would love to hear your advice. Sana may gumawa nung maid agency na may review para sa bawat isang maid. Tapos yung replacement dapat walang limit, as long as talagang may problem talaga sa maid. Case by case shempre pero dapat nasa lugar lang. All we want is a maid who needs a long term job, decent pay, and decent people for employers. Basic cooking skills, cleaning skills, can read and write.
