How does one RECRUIT good, loyal maids nowadays?

It seems to me like the quality of new maids are going lower and lower. Also, the duration of their stay is getting shorter and shorter! I don't really care why since that would be a very long, complex discussion. But how do we recruit new maids now who would be good and loyal?

[kimpOy]

based on my personal experience...

i hire household help thru referrals usually from helpers within my area,
one thing they seek is comfort zone, atleast they know someone already (lalo if you're hiring from far provinces) but this is not a foolproof plan, its a trial and error thing also...

mahirap talagang maka tiempo ng maid na magtatagal. swertehan lang kumbaga. ok din yung mga referrals, pero hindi rin naman lahat magiging maayos magtrabaho or magtatagal sayo.

[Airwalk]

thru referrals din kami of relatives or friends...

usually, good and loyal maids are already working for someone else. tiyagaan lang talaga at pakikisama siguro and eventually, yung maid mo magiging good and loyal din sa iyo

I grew up with no maids at all and I don't think I see the need. Pretty much I do everything - from cleaning the bathroom, the kitchen, mopping the floor, vacuuming the carpets, dusting, do the laundry, the dishes, ironing, cooking my own meal, fixing the house, etc.

Nothing too complex and nothing to sweat.

I think in the Philippines, it's one of the things that really baffles me. But, it's all cool. At least people get employed. lol

But, I hired one only because I need someone to feed my dogs and clean their sh1t when I'm traveling. Otherwise, I'll just have a friend look after them and compensate them with whatever they wish. lmao

And, no shoes or slippers in the house. I'll cut off your legs. lol

Had a stay-in driver for 8 yrs, kicked him out cause we learned he kept using our vehicle to pick up his mistress, while we were out of the country. Our household help comes once every 2 weeks to clean the whole house. We pay her 850 pesos. She usually comes around 9am then finishes by 4 to 5.

I don't think it's possible for a couple with kid(s) who are employed FULL TIME in an office 8 to 5 job to be without a helper. Who will watch over the children when they come home from school? This is given na it's only the nuclear family at home and no in laws or relatives around to help.

Example na lang friend ko. They live in the South. His and his wife's family live up north so it's really just them. They are both employed in a bank. Kaya no choice but to get a yaya and helper.

Hirap maghanap ng helper. Karamihan pa gusto stay out lang. Gone are the days when helpers stay in one family their whole life Our previous labandera, stayed with us until she passed away.

[chronicle]

Milleneals na kasi mga typical kasambahay ngayon. Always connected. Madali maimpluwensyahan through social media kaya nagkaka idea na umalis agad.

Ano health insurance pwede kunin sa mga maid? Paa libre na check up sa hospital then mga minor procedure libre na rin.

We are looking again for a stay-in help. Kaso ang hirap maghanap lalo na covid, plus mo pa yung need mo iquarantine and swab test before travel and before release from quarantine.

Our present stay-out e na-spoil na ng husto ni misis. She used to come 6 days a week for p2500 per week (sama na sss and philhealth dun, but she does not contribute). Since covid started she comes 5 days a week na lang with the same salary. E she is working the extra day off for some other couple (senior couple who do not go out of their house kaya no danger from covid transmission). Okay lang habang wala pa face-to-face classes pero pag meron na mahihirapan si misis. E pag sinabihan ko na balik na siya sa 6 days a week e hindi kumikibo. May extra income kasi siya. Masipag lang kasi at parang family na kaya di mapalitan.

Because the main stream media and social media are controlled by the West, and ayaw nila may magandang news lumalabas from China.

Just wondering bakit interesado ka sa mga pinay kasambahay sa china?

May gf o crush ka ba na nagtatrabaho ngayon sa China?

O kasalukuyan nag aaply?
