Post subject: Philippine Ayi, what to consider

Dear all, I need urgently your support.

I’m looking for a full time stay-in ayi, all agencies I contacted never responded.
In the meantime I have some address from Philippine ayi’s, all living in China with a tourist visa.

Who would like to share his experiences with me or provide me some advices?
What do I have to consider hiring a full time ayi from the Philippine?
What is the legal consequence if they work for me with a tourist visa?
How can I support to extend the visa or bring the employment on a legal proper base (I think that they need to be registered at police office as well)
How is the health insurance handle?

Oh so many questions left and I am under pressure.

I would greatly appreciate any information, experience or advice.

Thank You

Rezi

Don't do it - if she is caught working for you both she and you could be asked to leave China.
Impossible to get her legal here.

You are out of luck doing this legally.

It is illegal to work on a L (Tourist) or F.
And the odds of the Chinese Government granting a work permit for a foreign maid are for allintents and purposes....Zero.

"Chinese jobs for Chinese citizens"

If one of the Chinese Ayi's or one of your neighbors gets a bug up their butt about you taking a Chinese job away by employing a foreigner and turns you in...
Deportation for the maid almost certainly.
Possible jail time and/or deportation for you.

Spend your energies finding a good Chinese Ayi that speaks english.

A little tough to find and you will have to pay more...but all in all still probably less than a live in Philippine ayi would have cost back in the day when they were allowed.

Wow, this sounds freaky, I almost expected those answers. Thanks for responding,
Why do I look for a Pilipino ayi, very easy, I have no idea where I can get a stay-in maid from China mainland.

And she should take care children, thus not be too simple minded.

Any ideas for a reliable agency which can be at help?

Thank You

I would think that native English speaking, plus knowledge of what bacteria is and how it spreads, would be a great idea for a housekeeper. Heck, I'd settle for an Ayi that didn't throw my black and white socks in the same laundry load.
