I have always wanted to employ someone in the mid 20s but most of them lied about their age. They are usually a few years younger than what is stated in the bio. That is why this time selected someone 30 yrs old. If same trend apply, she should be in their late 20s  .
Employing a maid is really tikam tikam. Even bio cannot be trusted. Every thing in the bio cannot be trusted. If you look closly, most of the bio are the same and fill by the same person (hand writing). The maid only sign and wonder if they check what is being filled or just sign blindly. The only thing that is real is the photo and even that can be quite misleading. Most of them are already given a makeover by the agency esp the indon. They got the same hair cut and clothing. So very difficult to judge their personality. Unlike the filipina who send in their old photo. Short of being a fortune teller who can judge a person by the face features, it is really tikam tikam.
Hey, you are right! those indon in 20s are mostly a few yrs younger, but those stated 28 29 are mostly a few yrs older. Those stated 30s maybe then 40s liao. They are just a bunch of liars.

Very true...My ex-filipino maid also does the same thing but she was late 20's...Also I have another filipino who would only does her ironing at nite as she believes that after ironing cannot wash her hands.

I always wonder why the indonesian iron during the day and the filipina in the nite just before they go to bed. Thought they are just slower than the indon counterpart and will take a longer time to finish their work.

Its true filipina like to do ironing at night and they are quite slow in doing it! My ex-filipina also does ironing day & night!!!  Is it because it's their practice nationwide? I instruct my maid to do twice a week during afternoons because there is nothing much for her to do after lunch. But she still does ironing for 1-2 hrs everyday although it is only my husband's working clothes to iron beautifully. The rest e.g children clothes t-shirt just fold can liao!

maybe the floor mat thingy is their old beliefs loh.... no harm letting them do it since it doesn't really cost much pain right? My maid dun need to use the mat though...

actually I had a filipino telling me the same thing too.I only get to find out about this when my gal who share the same room with her complained of her smell.And yes,she smelled till the extend that you would know which day she washed the car.And you will know she is approaching you a room away.Yes,I m not kidding.
My gal told me she doesnt bath..and I was surprised cos I thought personal hygience problem shouldnt be on filipino..but then I found out she really never bath for days.When I told the agent,she complained to her that I want her to do ironing before sleep,therefore she couldnt bath after ironing cos they believed,their body is hot after ironing so when they bath,they would burst their blood vessel... I was like...urgh...I m still alive after countless times of taking bath after sweating..
