Maid...which one to fired?

We have 3 maids who help us to tend the house.
The older one is Bi Mis, who has been with the family for 17 years. Now she's in her fifties. Her job is to do laundries (no machine wash)and trice a week wiping all the cabinets. Also go to wet market to do shopping for my mum and help to look after Megan.
She used to do all the mopping and wiping floor on 2nd and 3thd floor until she complained that the toll was too much and she's too tired so it was reduced to cleaned my mum's bathroom only. She works from 8.00- 14.00

The second one is Ima, she's already 7 years with family, now she's pregnant and will due around hari raya but still she want to continue to work with us and asked mum permission for 3 month leaves.
She used to be stay at home maid until married last year. Her job is on 1st floor, mostly kitchen jobs. she also mopped the floor daily and cleaned the bathroom on 1st floor. Twice a week, she cleaned all the windows on her level floor and trice a week, wiping all the cabinets. She work from 8.00- 15.30

The third one is Ac, She only with us for 1.5 year. Her job is to clean 2 and 3 floor including floors, cabinets, 2 bathrooms and look after Megan. She is quick witted and smart..too smart actually that she become bit lau chua. she work from 8.15-17.00

Now, the problem is none are stay at home maid and we need stay at home maid. Which one to fired? from logic thinking, it should be bi Mis, but since she's been around for so long, mum tend to like her as family and she has gentle heart and very obedient.
The second option is Ima, but she got my mum soft heart because she's good maid, she's clean and smart and she can ward off all the preman2 if they come to ask money and also she's the poorest one, her hubby is only a driver and his salary will not enough to support her and the coming baby.
The only option is Ac, but Ac is smart.. you just point one thing and she'll remember...And the most important is she really adore Megan, since she's childless, and she can play with Megan. Headache arrrrrr.

Aiyoo...jorok..

Ds has new maid, a pulang pergi maid. Her job is to hand wash several clothes (most of the clothes and wiping clothes are wash by machine) and iron them and also moping floor (with moping stick).
She work only trice a week. She's so lazy, BILs' shirt collar was still yellowish uncleaned and even pants were smelly.
When she mopped the floor, she never changed the water or even rinsed the mop, just mopped mindlessly from front house to the back. No wonder after she mopped the floor, it felt still so sticky and I can't stand it. I mopped the whole house again myself and the result it I have to change my bucket again and again because the water got dirty very quickly. HUH... to tell the truth, my Ds housing complex is near the jungle. The air is clean and not too dusty as in city, but this maid is really helpless. Before she came, I also vacuumed and mopped the floor twice a week but because she's no brainer, she use the same mop to mopped the terrace floor which is of cause more dirty and the inner house and transferred all the dirt into the house.

It's hard to find a good maid with brain intact now days, if they're smart, they tend to uncontrollable and cunning. If they're dumb..well really make your blood pressure rocket high. Also both types are ignorant and greedy.

Where're our mummies old days good maids all gone?

Killer maid updated

Sri was arrested anew days ago at her hometown , jawa. As predictedm she pledge insanity and irresponsible of all her deed.
She even claimed that she heard screamed and cried for help that dawn but she hate them specially her working partner, hartini, she choosed to ignored them and run away.
She said it was not her intention to killed the children, only hartini, but why she locked the children bedroom from the outside? why she even out the fire under the X-Trail car that caused explosion?
Hah....Cruel...I really dunno what to write.

Killer Maid

This weekend, people was shocked by the incident that took place on 20 Feb, 03.15 Wib in Medan.
Two children, aged 12 and 13, brother and sister, were burned to die by their own house maid.
The maid, Sri, who only has been working 3.5 months for this family has fled away and now under police DPO
The parents has been out of town, to HongKong, for business left the children under the care of 2 maid (Hartini, who is pregnant and has been working for this family for 7 years and Sri)and also the children Nainai who lives only few blocks away.
Nainai came visited her grandchildren daily, and on the incident night,she even left their house around 22.30 after dropped a few loaves of bread for children breakfast.
But, who will knew that's the last time she will met them.
On nearly dawn, Nainai received called from her grandchilden asking for help. They told her that their house was on fire and the room was dark because the electricity was cut out due to fire and their room was locked from outside. The panic stricken nainai told the children tried to escape by themselves and she drove frantically to her son house ASAP, only find that she's not able to help, just despairingly and hopelessly stared on the children room window which was on the 3th fl and iron barred.
The window was high enough for 13 and 12 years old children and the glass panes was too thick for them to break down. The broken heart Nainai cried, screaming for help but the fireman can only do a little. The fire was too big and the room was too high.
Nainai saw her beloved one head boobing in and out behind the window glass for a few minutes, then...none....
Hartini, she was too locked from outside of her room but her room was on 2nd fl and she was strong enough to break down the glass (but not to pull out the iron bar) and tried to breath from outside. When the fireman able to break thought the second fl, she was saved.
Sri was nowhere to find. She shared the same room with Hartini.
The report from CSI concluded that the fire started on the 1 ft floor,was burned under the X-trail car, that caused the explosion later, and from kitchen (the arsoner even turned on the generator and gas stove)
Sri, only 16 years old, from further investigation revealed that she also killed a baby under her care at Jawa 2 years ago by baking him in the oven.
So scary!!!! The yayasan's very irresponsible. Because the law in Indonesia is very unfair, specially if the victims are Chinese, so, mummies out there, beware! Even if she was cought, her jail time will be short and she'll release in no time. Here, I uploaded her picture, just be careful, specially if you're hiring maid from Indonesia.

Maid- Maid (2)

Remember my previous blog about how competent my new maid (Bi AC) was? She has work for us for 3 months now and actually she has agreed to become stay-at-home maid since her hubby was merantau in Nias and only come back a few days each, so, our terms of agreement were (2 months ago) salary increase for her so she can pay her nephew to look after her house in kampung and she was allowed to go home once a week to check out her house, when her hubby is home, she will be allowed to go home twice a week. Her hubby's relatives will take care all his needs(when he returned) including cook his meal and wash clothes because they are neighbour and some of them are jobless.
It worked quite well for moments and all of sudden, yesterday (Friday) she didn't came to work (Thursday she went home after working half day) and with no news at all. I asked my other maids if they heard anything from her but both said "no".
Today, she innocently came to work as usually and didn't even mention why she didn't came yesterday until I asked. She asked me back " Didn't bi Mis (my other maid) told me that my hubby has came back from Nias?" I said "No, She didn't tell me and don't accuse her for not telling me, it's your own responsible to tell me by yourself. You can call me and told me so I didn't has to wait for you." See, she even has a cellphone but didn't even bothered to call. She didn't appologise but keep accusing bi Mis for not telling me then in the afternoon she told me that she can't stay over anymore because her hubby project in Nias is over and he'll back for good, then, i asked her how about our agreement and she just said it can't work out because her hubby want her to be home every evening to cook for him. So i said "OK, but i need stay over maid, I'm sorry but I think I'll replace you as soon as i find a new one unless you change your mind"
She went quite and I ignore her then treat her as usual. From what I heard, her hubby is jobless and as a pulang-pergi maid, her salary is quite high, Rp.500.000/ month (normally only Rp.300.000/ month). We increase it to Rp. 700.000/month if she stay over. Her job is quite simple just mop 2nd and 3 floors, play with megan when i work and rock her to nap. First floor and kitchen, we have another maid to attend ( she has been working for us for 8 years) and for washing (hand wash) and ironing clothes, we have bi Mis (she has been working for my mum for 20 years, she is old now but we don't have heart to fire her)
I always wonder, how come , mostly, bibik bibik can't point out their priorities? With jobless hubby who depend on her income, surely she is better be our stay-home maid. But their believe is to serve their husband unquestionably even mean sacrifice their own needs. No logic!
So, now, I've to start head hunting for new maid...phew... what a tiring job....

Maid..maid..maid

I got a temporary maid at last. Temporary because she/bibik can't stay over and must go home ( to her kampung and she work from 8 am to 5 pm daily). She is not from yayasan which i've ordered and pay DP but my former bibik cuci's relatives. Her name is bik Ac. I really like her. She is clever, obedient, very clean and specially she loves children. Megan absolutely loves her. You will never able found someone able to mop the floor as clean as she's. Really superb. The problem is, she can't stay over at night because she has husband and a child to look after.
I worried if my maid from yayasan come, would she able to work as bik Ac standard? I've tried 1 maid from this yayasan before. Only last for 1 months. She is really terrible. Talk a lot ( lies..lies...brag..brag..) I suspect she is mental. Her brain digest the information opposite from our instruction, such as : if u ask her not to wash the tupperware lids with metal sponge, she will use it instead. Can u imagine the damage she did to my households and utensils in 1 months? Argh... better not to mention it. Drive me mad...Even after nearly 1 months, Megan still cried when she saw her. Nah... I've get rid of her last week ( i drove her to airport myself! ) And yayasan promise to give me substitute in these few days(a week has passed already and still no news)
Bik Ac really a savior, she help me care for Megan when i do my design and play with her, rock her to sleep,etc... I tried to persuade her to stay over every weekend. If she buy it at last, I think I'll cancel my contract with yayasan ( maybe i can get half of my DP, i hope ) because, after a week without stay-at-home-maid, I still survive hehehe but i really wish able to hang out with friends at weekend to recharge the brain and gets up to date news aka gossips... So, Wish me luck!!!!
