Maid Agencies

I wonder what are the objectives of the maid agencies? Seems to me that there are some businesses who are in business just for the money. They do not take into account the interest of the employers at all. I had taken maids from so-called ISO standard, CASE TRUST certified, etc. In fact they are not much different from those without certification, at least the ones that I had entered into a contract. They leave their licenses pasted on their premises but will you know if their licenses are still valid?

My current agency is another example of why some employers, like myself, are having problems with the maids. I have told my agent my criteria of employing a maid. Although the maid bio stated 23 years old, this fella that came into my home is 18 years old. When I asked the agent, she turned around and asked me how did I find out about it?

To make matters worst, just today after informing her of the maid’s action, she had the nerve to tell me she needs to investigate the matter. I asked her what else is there to investigate? The maid confessed in front of 2 police officers and I recorded her voice? I felt it was unfair for me to pay for her food and lodging. She can stay in the prison where she can have free meals and no work to do.

Then this agent said I changed maids many times so I told her it is none of her business. If the maid is not suitable, I will change as many times as I need to. If need be, I will go for the Employer Orientation course again and will justify my changes with MOM and that is not her damn problem! Irritating!!
