  When my wife was sick i hired a Filipina housekeeper. She worked for us for a few years and became a part of the family. Such a nice lady i could tell many stories of all the little things she did above and beyond what was required. I will never forget that wonderful lady😊

  A note of caution: try to avoid hiring a housekeeper from your sweetheart&apos;s close family. That can introduce a set of problems that you may not want to deal with. One is that she doesn&apos;t quite work out and you want to replace her, leading to conflict with your sweetheart over a family member losing a source of income and loss of hiya. The other is it can sometimes generate a feeling of excessive privilege, with the housekeeper assuming she can get away with behavior just because she is &quot;family&quot;. Another is that, because it&apos;s her family member, your girlfriend can automatically take the housekeeper&apos;s side in any disagreement with you and suddenly it becomes two against one in your home. I&apos;m not saying it never works, because that same exact situation works fine for us. But we&apos;ve had decades to deal with the issues also.

  Great topic Miss Pea. When I was stationed in Philippines the going rate for a house girl was 10 dollars a month. Our house girl became part of our family and we stayed in contact for years after I left. Our girl was a young filipina without much education or future. We treated her very well and she treated us good. Usually at the end of the month we would buy her some article of trailer made clothes. On weekends I would give her money for the movie and a treat afterwards. She was a live in and I never had to worry about theft or dishonesty from her. I know that’s not always the case. We really missed that when we came back to the states. My one word of advice is guys don’t boink your house girl. It’s always trouble.

  My father was stationed at Subic Bay for three years when I was a child. I remember the maid taking care me and with kindness. I was treated by her as her child. She would take me shopping with her out in the city, it was a great learning experience. Later in my life, I was in the Navy and when our sub had up keep there, I would live in the town and always made sure a maid was included. She took care of everything I would just give her money and everything was done. She even would try to find me a wife, a good girl as she would say. I got spoiled by this kind of life, when I worked in the Philippines after the Navy, I was there for a few years, and of course I had a maid. I got lucky, she was young and beautiful, I couldn&apos;t resist her charm and care. So now my maid is my wife.

  I had a house cleaner that came 3 times a week. She kept bring her daughters to help until I promoted her from head housekeeper to mommy-in-law.

  I remember being deployed to the Philippines as a young sailor and meeting a guy who had been stationed there for some time. He lived off base and had a maid (later I found out she took care of more than his household needs as well). He invited me over one day and I saw how he treated her (poorly). Needless to say I didn&apos;t hang around him after that. Remember: Treat others as you would want to be treated.<br><br>Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours, Miss Pea. I&apos;d love to see a video on hiring a driver/yard maintenance man as well. Thanks!

  I had a filipina nanny growing up. &nbsp;My mom gave her full rule over me and she raised me like a local. &nbsp;Which is one of the reason&apos;s why I can adapt to situations here and understand the mannerisms a lot along with speaking the language, not well but getting better. &nbsp;Now I can tell when and what people are talking about me and call them out. &nbsp;LOL

  I still remember a visit to Hong Kong years ago and seeing all of the beautiful young Filipina maids enjoying their Sunday picnics in Victoria Park. &nbsp;Very unforgettable.

  Just as any employer respectable employer, I would have a 30, 60, 90 day rule for performance review. Also, I’d definitely give two days off. You need the downtime for your own mental wellbeing and frankly if you have a good maid, you want to retain that. My wife’s aunt in Ortigas has had the same live in housekeeper for over 20 years. Shes no longer considered a maid, she’s considered family.

  Although I have been retired in Central America rather than the Philippines for a long time, the scope and excellence of your advice applies perfectly here. It might take several tries before you find a suitable housekeeper, but it can be well worth the time and effort. Our housekeeper has actually saved us money and made retirement much, much more pleasant. My approach is to treat her with the same degree of respect and loyalty she displays in her job. Our housekeeper has been with us for over ten years, and she continues to be a blessing.<br><br>It might be a good idea to listen to this video two or more times. You will not find better and more complete advice than that given by Filipina Pea in this video.

  Ben Franklin one of the &nbsp;founders my country said, let all your servants be homely otherwise after the first time you sleep with your maid your house will never be cleaned properly again.
