Dear IL, We have started to look for a live in maid and wondering if you have any tips to offer. We prefer to have someone who is Indian/Nepal/Srilanka. I heard that it is difficult to get Indian maid for Indian family and what is your experience? What is the best way to go forward searching for a maid? Thanks in advance
Meena , Are these ladies reliable?You know what I mean right???(I hope you do not get me wrong)Because I might leave PA for a couple of hours with maid when I go out for classes.
Bhuvana , Its just a ref from some of the ladies - co-workers - so not sure if reliable thou . yeah i get you , better then, you look for indians etc .If you can get indian visa then i have some reliable people back in india who could come .( need to recheck if you want to proceed)
No, we haven't found yet. We have a visa approval for Nepal nationality. We have asked our friends/colleague for some reference.. and waiting. We may go to an agency otherwise.
Meena, We cannot get maid visa of same nationality.We can get from other countries.If I need to get an Indian I have to look locally who is eligible to work(with her sponsor's permission) or the ones with free visa.
Meena, we got one maid from SL earlier and we spent less than 4000 Riyals I guess.2000 for embassy deposit(refundable)+ visa charges+medical+flight charges.But we had to send her back as she was becoming a pain for us:-(. I think if you go through agency you need to pay around 10K.
