    Tried agencies before and it didnt work for us. Unfortunately, they recycle their own applicants by asking them to leave after six months for reprocessing. This I found out when I interviewed their placement to us. Also, agencies tend to promise you everything just to get their fees but when it comes to replacement, goodluck if they will still entertain you. Their priority always are those who will be getting as first timers as it gives them more yield in terms of profit. For a single placement, they earn between 2-3t while they only get 700-1t for a replacement.

    But Im sure there are some who had good experiences with an agency.

    Yahoo! They're back! Kahit nanggagalaiti ako sa galit these past few days, pinagsabihan ko na lang na next time mag-text man lang kung di makakarating o ma-de-delay para hindi kami nakatunganga na naghihintay at ma-schedule ng mabuti ang araw namin.

    They're good helpers, eto lang talaga ang sablay nila. Anyways, the last few days has been a learning experience for us, we learned to appreciate the work they do throughout the year. How hard it is to do the household chores they do, so we could feel comfortable at home after a hard day's office work - kakain na lang pagdating ng bahay. Eye-opener talaga, these are the people we take for granted, and they deserve to be treated better.

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad apples out there as well, kaya pasalamat na rin kami good ones yong mapunta sa amin, at bumalik sila.

    yung samin naman medyo expected and not really "horror" story, more like expected immaturity, hehe... we just told her ok lang naman if she chooses to resign, just do it correctly or give us a call or something, hindi yung tatakas lang, but I guess that's easier for them.

    Just treat them like normal people, all they're doing is work anyway... the accountability should be there as an employee, but the employer must do their part to provide a good work environment as well... things will go wrong naman lagi since we're all humans, having to leave your family and loved ones and be uprooted far away from home that abruptly can cause a lot of confusion to one's head.

    Have a backup plan and try not to rely too much... in this day and age where most couples work and leaves the kids to caretakers the whole day, the responsibility you've left the caretaker is way too much for the PARENTS to handle if that help goes away...

    At least with chores and stuff you can hire a temp help once a week or so and maximize the "contract" paid, but when it comes to childcare, that's a shady issue to rely on others completely.

    Ito nangyari sa amin

    Changed 4 maids in two months

    Maid no. 1 english speaking and hindi sya naglalaba. Stayed with us 2 days.We requested a labandera from the agency.

    Maid no. 2 stayed with us for 5 days. fired her kasi ina away isa pa na maid and nagagalit kasi wala tv sa kwarto nila.

    Maid no. 3 stayed with us 4 weeks. Fired her kasi hina hakot gamit dito, gabi lang kasi kami sa bahay and ina away din isa na maid kasi sinu sumbong siya sa mga ninanakaw nya.

    Maid no. 4 stayed with us a few weeks d ko alam bakit na fire. d sa akin sinabi kung bakit pinaalis.

    This is between Nov and kanina 3pm. All maids where from arresian agency or something.

    Yon maid no 3 yon klepto ayon naka deploy na uli. naki Lauro Visconde.

    I think we are charged 750 pesos for every deployment by the agency and no guarranties. And another 3500 pesos pag tumagal ng 6 months maid.

    Kanina muntik na umalis yon isa pa kasi natatakot baka madamay pa sya sa mga kalokohan noong iba. 8 months na sa amin itong muntik umalis . na ayos naman.

    We are 3 in the family, me, my wife and our 6 month old daughter. We live in a townhouse, we have a maid and a yaya. Sa maid wala kaming problema, our maid has been with us for about a year and 3 months, we got her right before we got married and naging part-time yaya pa for our daughter. (siya ang nag-su-sub pag kumakain o pahinga si yaya) I must commend our maid for sticking it out with us during the time na hirap na hirap kaming lahat dahil nawalan kami ng yaya, minsan pare-parehas kaming walang tulog sa gabi dahil hindi pa normal ang sleeping pattern ni baby at that time, dun namin nakita ang pagmamalasakit at pagmamahal sa bata nung maid namin, that was during the long holidays between Christmas and New Year.

    Pero sa yaya, its a different story, we had 5 different yayas in a span of 2 months! BTW, kung nangangailangan kayo ng maid o yaya DON'T ever get one from SATURN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY, mabubuwisit lang kayo. Heres what we have been thru with the yayas:

    yaya#1 (Saturn) Kinuha na lang namin dahil ala na kaming choice (she started the day na ilabas namin ng hospital si baby), hirap kami mag hanap at that time so everyone in our family helped us to look for one, eto hipag ko ang nakahanap. Eto masyadong mahilig mag marunong at mahilig makialam sa mga bagay na wala naman dapat siyang pake. We reached the last straw 10 days into her employment with us. Nagising kami ni misis ng 4am, napansin namin pinapakain si baby(our child sleeps with us, the yaya sleeps on a matress on the floor) nung tanungin namin how many ounces was she feeding the baby, sabi niya 4 ounces daw, nagulat kami at pinagsabihan namin bakit ganun? E sabi nung pedia dapat 2.5 ounces lang for her age, sinagot ba naman kami na wala daw alam yung pedia, so we countered na may reason kung bakit ganun ang instruction ng pedia, e matigas pa rin ang ulo kaya pinaalis na lang namin.

    yaya#2 (Saturn) Dahil pinaalis namin yung unang yaya, eto yung replacement. Eto naman may pagkabingi at bulol pero sasakan din ang tigas ng ulo at nangaapi pa ng kasambahay. May isang time iniwan namin si baby sa biyenan ko at galit na galit yung mother in law ko na tinawagan kami dahil panay ang pindot ni yaya sa bumbunan ni baby, pero siya na rin ang nagpaalam na aalis, since di naman kami masaya sa kanya pinaalis na lang namin after almost a month.

    yaya#3 (Saturn) Eto nakakatakot, kadarating pa lang, inapi na kaagad si Inday, tinulak ba naman si Inday sa hagdan. Sa takot namin na kung ano pa ang magawa, pinaalis na namin after only 1 night. After that nag decide kami na hindi bale na masayang yung agency fee kesa naman puro sablay ang nakukuha namin. We decided to look elsewhere.

    yaya#4 (Pinasok ng family friend) Ok sana kaya lang hindi kinaya yung pag pupuyat ni baby kaya tumagal lang ng 10 days, nag paalam kasi na mag Papasok saka New Year sa kanila pero di bumalik.

    yaya#5 (Agency referred by our OB-GYNE) We got her last January, pero sa WAKAS, nakakuha din kami ng ok na yaya, marunong at may malasakit at pagmamahal sa bata. Shes still with us at dahil ok siya, we plan to reward her by increasing her salary this coming May.

    message lang sa mag working moms and dads, who are in great need of a trustworhty yaya, wag na wag po kayo kukuha sa LIZAGEN EMPLOYMENT SERVICES. Modus operandi nila, one week papasok yung maid tapos, aalis. tapos, pipilitin kayong magbayad ng agency fee ule. pero ang totoo, bumabalik lang yung katulong sa knila tapos ipapasok din nila sa ibang employer tapos ganun din gagawin. Grabe, ang kapal ng mukha ng mga taong to, matapos mong gawan ng mabuti ganun ang igaganti sa yo. And one more thing, di sila mapapagkakatiwalaan sa bata. Nahuli ko one time, sinasaktan baby ko. Kamuntik ko nga mapatay. Sana di nyo makasama ang taong to. Please remember the agency name. wag kayong kukuha jan.
