Re: Beware of a house maid agencies at Chennai HI all, Last year i had a very bitter experience like this. I underwent a surgery and to take care of the house we employed a lady from a placement service at mylapore. A maid by the name chitra came n it all went well for a month. After that some days she used to come late and some days she wl tel some cock n bull story n got some advance from us. Alas one day we found our jewels n cash missing n that lady didnt turn up for work. Then the usual drama goin 2 police n we got everthin back. So i beg u all not to go 2 any placement services. luv vijisriram
Re: Beware of a house maid agencies at Chennai Hi, I had a similar experience when i was carrying my second child, 3 years ago. The first maid provided was similar to what was mentioned, vanished after 10 days, the second one was with me for another 15 days, the third one 5 days and by then i was frustrated....I had to keep reminding the agency to send someone over since i was 6 months pregnant and cudn't manage anymore. Nothing happened and since i hadn't learnt from my previous lessons, i decided to try another agency - except that this time i related my experience to them and instead of giving them service charges as cash, i gave them a 30 days later dated post dated cheque. It was a very sensible thing to do since on expected lines the maid provided was diseased and I cudn't retain her. I issued a stop cheque payment and asked the agency to take the maid back. Since then i have staunchly refused to have live in maids and managed to get a maid who comes and goes.

Hi, I stay in Velachery and am in need of a cook to make vegetarian lunch and dinner. I would prefer her to come in around 6-6.30 in the morning. Can someone give me pointers on how to look for a cook, what the approx salaries might be? Need only for week days. Thanks!
Re: Need pointers to cooks Hi Minnu, You can contact any of the manpower agencies to get cooks, but they might ask for a month's salary as comission. Otherwise you can look for them in your local tabloids like Adyar Times or thru word of mouth. The going rate for cooks is Rs. 4000 plus. Depends on whether you want them to come once or twice and then the distance they come from, which might be salary plus the bus fare.
