Does anyone know a good one? I have been told to go for an agency housekeeper rather than private.it is more expensive but more secure? Thanks

dear,

this is a page belong to labor ministry.

http://www.mlsa.gov.qa/yourservice/Pages/default.aspx

and there are many of labor agencies.

do not accept maid that have been returned by another family. ask for new one. these agencies should be all the same. if you did not like your new maid returne it back to them before 3 months. and ask for new one and do not accept returning your maid from the agency because they will try hard to not lose their money.

The problems with onspot hired maids are that:

- majority of them are on the absconded list.

-hiring them and getting caught gets you problems

- so does any issues occuring to them.

-absconded ones can abscond again with your goods.

- many left alone at home during your office hours solicit friendship from opposite sex, causing issues.

So keep a registered maid, that too which you can trust. Else be ready for a host of mental tensions, unless you get lucky.
