Agent for Nepali Maids and Houseboys - Shaan. Have you used his services?
We've been hunting for a Nepali maid forever. We got this guy's reference from 3 of our friends who don't know each other, so we were very hopeful he'll be trustworthy. He sent us a few profiles, we selected a lady who we thought would do well in our family. DH did the preliminary visa formalities but we had told Shan strictly that we will not be going ahead unless we speak to her on the phone and know that she understands Hindi or English. He assured us that she speaks Hindi well, but she will be able to talk to us only when she reaches Kathmandu from her village.
Sure enough, he gave us a number to call today but when I tried talk talking to her we realised she doesn't speak any Hindi and obviously, is miles away from English. She started giggling over the phone which really annoyed me and gave the phone back to the Nepali agent (Shan's partner) who then tells me that she understands Hindi but cannot speak. We have decided to cancel her visa because I cannot add the pressure of teaching this lady a new language, along with other things that she will have to learn when she works with a new family, in a new, foreign country.
This guy has assured us that he will find us a replacement, and even though he comes with references, I am really skeptical about him after this experience. Has anyone dealt with him? Would really like to hear some feedback if anyone has.
