My new maid, Marilyn, who is from Philippines will be arriving Singapore next week. Upon her arrival, she will have to go for her medical, sit for her English and safety tests. I would prefer to pick her up from the agency after she has completed her thumb print.
When I spoke with her over the phone, she sounded rather excited. Her bio indicated that she is single. While talking I asked her if she has any children and she said she has 2 kids, 5 and 6 years old. This is not what I had wanted as I do not want those with kids as they will start missing their children. She gave me her assurance as she is not staying with her kids and the last time she met them was 3 years ago! Her mother-in- law is their main caregiver.
Anyway, it's been close to a month sourcing for a maid that fit my criteria so I decided to proceed with her. The other agents have tried to dump either their transfer maids or any of their other maids to me but I refused. I find that these agents gave me a couple of maids bio that are the exact opposite of my criteria and they expect me to select from one of the bios otherwise they dont provide other bios.
