Hi ladies,

Had a lovely Ethiopian lady knock on our door asking if we needed a part time maid. We would be happy to hire her on a part time basis but I wanted to check on the legality of this. Is it legal? She said she lives a few villas down the block from us. Am I better off hiring through an agency? Thanks in advance. :)

Thank you for your replies. I had a feeling it might have been illegal but wasn't sure. Better to go with an agency instead. Any recommendations?

Also, even if you don't get caught and fined - if she stole from you or anything else happened, you would not be able to go to the police - you would just have to live with it. It's not worth it. You can get an agency maid for about 30dhs an hour, I think it's a much better option.

Its Illegal .. you could get fined upto 100K ! Agency is the best bet
