I have trawled this site and the MoM web site (but forgive me if my searches missed a post which answered my question). I understand choosing a maid could be a nightmare and in my case it could well be! My wife is Filipina and we will no doubt employ a Filipina maid so that could introduce some interesting personality dynamics into the household

My question, to anyone who currently employs a maid, is have I covered all the potential costs with this list. I know they are not all compulsory, I just want to make sure I consider everything before doing this for the first time:
Employment Agency charges.
Salary.
Health insurance.
Accident insurance.
Dental insurance.
Monthly Government work permit fee.
Food, toiletries etc
Flight ticket home every 2 years.
Many Thanks
