We have been in Singapore for a month and a half...and have just moved into our rental condo.
I'm confused about where I should begin looking for a helper!
- Almost every maid agency I have googled for feedback, has at least one negative post and some scary ones at that!
- the agency fees are mind boggling and it is a huge risk if the helper doesn't work out
- Some helpful souls have suggested I look for a transfer maid, but how does that work? Where do I begin my hunt, who does all the paper work?
We need a FT ideally who can read and speak English, is a good cook, who can clean well, put away things in the proper place, iron, get groceries, look after my 5-year old when I am out. Am I asking for too much? This is not an ad (before the moderator reprimands me!) I'm just looking for advice and feedback on how to get started.
Thanks for your time.
