Darjeeling maids

Post by tamran » Fri, 06 Jul 2007 11:30 pm

Hi,

these maids are nepali by ethnicity and indian by nationality and they are the BEST!!!! I had one for 4 years and she went back in Dec. We miss her so much we're trying to get her to come back. My uncle has had one for 7 years. They are friendly, extremely hardworking, respectful and in most cases educated (mine used to check my daughter's homework when i was at work). I also like it that they seem to intuitively know when to back off and give us our privacy. You would hardly notice a stranger living in your house. I would HIGHLY recommend them

I tried to search angel sky in net. Ended up with no help and no contact info. Can you please pass on their contact number if you have?

Thanks
