Hi ladies, We need to have a Filipino maid live in. I heard some rules are changed in the last few months but I don't know exactly what. I prefer somebody already here. I don't want use the classified or maid.ae or similar website because I already tried with no success. Can you please suggest an agency to look for a maid live in? No howdra pls as I had a bad experience. How about the monthly salary? dhs 2,000 plus food is ok? Maaaaaaaaaany thanks

I always use [i'>Esports[/i'> for the Summer Camp which take place at many schools (Wellington International, Dubai British School, Dubai American Academy and others). They start on June 30th and you can pay day by day (about dhs 150) or for the whole week (about dhs 650).....there is transportation as well (dhs 175/week). They spend all the day (8.45-1.45) doing sports, drama, singing, dance and art and craft). They have swimming every day and you need to provide them a packed lunch box. I've already sent the application form. Ciao

I am two days behind you, Marianna and also with Dr Sant. Maybe we've crossed paths in reception. :) Love her, but i am not sure how the delivery side works, does she deliver at City, and if so, do you need to make an appointment with City or does Primavera look after that? She works with City Hospital and Welcare Hospital.The clinic will ask you to choose one of these hospitals and almost at the end of the pregnancy, they will send your file to the chosen hospital.once you are due, you call the Dr. and, anytime she join you!! Only one doubt: she is veeeeeery expensive for the visit, consultation and ultrasound, and for all the blood test.......so how much will she charge for the delivery? I will ask...

Please do not go to Silkor! I've used them for hair removal for upperlips and armpits! It was so painful and after 5 sessions.....I still have hair...of course less than before but what they've promised me in few sessions I will be totally hair free!!! Furthermore the staff is not professional.....the first time a lebanese girl did my session, then always a filipino lady!

You can find it everywhere: Carrefour, Waitrose, Spinneys.....in the refrigerators near the yogurts..BUT.....you can prepare it by yourself mixing a white yogurt 125gr+125ml cream and half lemon juice squeezed and strained . Let it rest at room temperature for few hours before use it. ;)

I have one and its not complicated at all.....the important is not tangle it! When I prepare the swimming pool for my daugther, I don't remove the net totally....I mean to say that the swimming pool is free from the net and the net is folded on the long side with the hooks. I hope you understood me.....Ciao ;)

If the maid`s room is not ''connected with anything'' as you said, what about the shower/ toilet etc...?! I`m just wondering about her living conditions in general.. Come on...........are you serious??.....are you just " worried" about her living conditions????? What do you think about me??? Of course she has toilet with a sink and a shower.....but the maid's room (with 3 windows, with a.c., tv, internet, fridge and everything to make her comfortable) it's outside the house...that's all and she is also happy because she has more privacy.......so when she will come to live in with my family......I want to put a washbasin for her use..............

So she washes your dishes, and cleans your house and of course she has to touch everything by doing these things, but you do not want her to use your kitchen to wash her plates??? what's the logic in that??? Don't worry about my logic...I'm just asking you where I can find a sink for the maid's room........no time for the stupid and useless arguments.....

Because the maid's room is in the garden outside so its not connected with the house. And its not comfortable everytime she needs to wash something to bring everything inside my home passing through the garden..... And because I prefer she doesnt use my kitchen.....:)

Thanks fairycakeyumm!I went for a tour in both schools and I like them both but at Wellington the facilities are better (If I remember well). Yesterday I've received from DBS an appointment for the 1st March for the assessment then I will have 5 days only to decide to register or no my daugther. I've called Wellington (my daugther is on its waiting list since last february) and they told me they will let me know April or sooner....so...now I'm confused on what to do!
