Hi mummy I hire 3 Burmese helper 2 phinoy 1 indo previously. I would say Philippines or Indonesia is better than Myanmar from my experience. 1st work 3 years. 2nd work 2 month. 3rd work 1 month. The major issue I face with all of them is. 1. Communication. 2. Their stubbornness. 3. Their pride issue. They will never admit is their fault when you say them it will be giving attitude. Sometimes it depend on luck too.
language as their eng is limited. maybe u want to try to get one who already has some work experience in sg as that may have improved their eng. but always check and double check with them because they may say ok or yes but actually they do not understand.
Communication problem. But they are quite hardworking and willing to learn. Any maid is always depend on luck whether is indo, Philippines or Myanmar. Go to an agent, let them know which specific job scope maid u looking for. I went to Nation maid agency.
I didn’t hire before. But like all helpers, I’m worried of hygiene. They may not have the same level of hygiene as us
i think mainly language barrier...but my neighbour's myanmar helper is very good and can speak EN so i think it depends
Hey, I think it mostly depends from person to person but check for the language comfortability before going ahead
They do not speak English at all so if you want for baby care etc, please gey Filipino for easier communication
Mostly language barrier but most have them have good working attitude (:
Considered before but worried of language barrier
No mine has always been Indonesian...
