Howdra or Explorer Maids
So after much debate we decided not to go ahead with hiring an Indoensian maid - too much hassle for me hiring directly from Indonesia and I am not willing to pay Dhs 7500 - 9000 agency fee with no guarantee that they will not be running away and no replacement from the agent, incase she decides to steal and wear my private clothes again :)
So, we went down the road of Howdra full time maid from Philipines - touc wood, last 3 days has been great. House is sparkling clean, she can cook and DS seems to like her too ... and dog is happy to have some extra attention during the day too.
Howdra and Explorer belong to the same mother company, so I was told that they are 'sister companies'.
My only 'concern' in hiring a howdra maid is .... we pay Howdra 2500 and the maids only get 750 - 1000/month. True that the visa, flights and holidays are being paid by the company .... but still ... that's little amount that goes back to the maid, no?!
They are under company sponsorship so their visa is for 2 years ...
how is it that as individuals we are subjected to pay a minium of 1500 for full time Filipina maid but companies can pay less, and yet do the same job??
just a question I asked myself ............
Anyway, for anyone out there looking for hassle free maids - go for Howdra or Explorer ....
