hello, im thinking about trialing a maid for 3 months (maybe longer) who can cook and occasionaly look after 2 girls 2y/o and a 7 y/o. Basically stay home while i go for a swim. 7y/o goes to school by bus. im new to singapore and finding it hard to have "me time".
i dont have a maids room, i do have a "bomb shelter" with separate toilet. i dont ask for much, just that she help entertain my 2 girls (take them for a swim or a walk).
i tend to think a maid would be bored, as i clean the house anyway, but theres nothing like a little help.....[/b]

So what is the purpose of your post? You felt the need just to tell somebody you want to find a maid? You could have told your spouse. 
If you are advertising for positions available, I suggest you use the classifieds section of this site. It's free and it's not in violation of this boards advertising policies.
