SG Part Time Maid

Received a small leaflet.

.>> Local Part time Maid ....Hardworking, Trustworthy local maid... etc do household chores.... on hourly/weekly/monthly basis. Reasonable rates. Interested please contact 84521924 ...

So I rang and an asian lady voice was on the phone. I asked for the price for 3 hours .. and she gave me the sum $260 for a month. Got me shocked for a while. And she elaborate its 3 hours weekly so a month is $260. <<<

Currently there are part time maids for the rate of $10/hour that usually comes on a Sunday.
Mostly philippines and indonesian.

2 years ago: 
Foreign Part time maid is $10 per hour. if four hours then it be $50 due to the stretch of work.

Now: 
Foreign part time maid mostly are $10 per hour, some with a minimum of 2 hours. Now I got the info that some foreign part time maid request a minimum of 3 hours now with the price of $45 (which average is $15 per hour).

Local part time maid is $260 for 3 hours per week. which makes it average $22 per hour.

Indeed.. maybe majority find it $22 per hour is "reasonable rate" but I think it is a bit overpriced.

Crystin Baby Blog is born finally....

As I was pregnant with Crystin, I told myself that I would create a blog to record all the things / events / items she used so that it could be share with others and to remind myself if I ever go for 2nd baby.

Crystin was born on 20 August 2010 in Singapore Thomson Medical Center. This blog was created on 29 AUgust 2011 so I guess I really took my time.

Pregnancy is a big topic, Preparing for Labour is big topic, During Labour is a big topic, Recovering from giving birth is a big topic, First 30 days of confinement is a big topic, Babies first 3 months is a big topic, Baby at 6 months is a big topic and the finally, the Baby "infant" is upgraded to become a "toddler" - One Year old is a big topic.

I would cover all of this soon.. to be continued...
