Selamat datang Rumah (Welcome Home)
Name: Noor
Age: Early - Mid 20's
Nationality - Indonesian
Status - Single
Arrived: 13th July 08
Languages: Spoken Indonesian and learning sign language
Sleeping Room: Kitchen
The first maid of our house. My mom never liked the idea of having a maid at home and I never felt that we needed one as my mom was the perfect house wife. We had cleaners coming in at times when there were some occasions going on.
This new lady can hardly speak English. We communicate in sign languages. All her day is spent in Kitchen or rooms working and cleaning and her nights sleeping in the same kitchen. Reason being behind is she doesn't wants to sleep in my niece's room and we never had a maid room in our house.
I feel really sorry for them as they leave their houses and come to a totally different country for better living of their family back home. I wish they could be treated like a family member. I have seen some of them being really treated badly and some are treated well but don't deserved to be. I just hope this lady has a good time as long as she stays with us and goes back safely to her country at the end.

It's just the idea of a stranger touching our stuff is scary.
But congratulations :P

Jewaira: Yes I know but we never thought that we will be needing one!
Yes, you are right - our help should be treated like family. It's the least that we can do. :)
some people do treat their maids badly but i guess allah be7asibhum :/
it is so great to see people as kind as u , wallah u are so kind ur fam. are blessed : )
Well we had all kind of maids and nanny's from all around the world literally :P
UK, India, Philippines, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Baluchistan, and last but not least Sri lanka !
so marat 3alina kil il ashkal min faithful ones to thieves and black magic doer : s.
and il 7imdillah we treat every one so good but some has failed us.
we had 2 Indian maids who stayed the longest, one stayed for 21 years and had to leave because her husband was in a life or death situation and when she wanted to come back her son had an accident and he is semi paralyzed now : ( and the other one stayed for 23 years and she decided it was time to go back and rest for she is too old to work : )
we are in touch with them until now, i talked to her few days ago and i always send emails and msgs to their daughters and sons as well. and if they needed anything we are always there for them we treat them as a family member i really LOVE both of them so much and i still cry whenever i hear their voices, we were trusting them beyond ur expectations.
and we have a driver who is still with us since 23 or 24 years and he also converted to islam lately il 7imdillah : )
and our new maids are great as well we had two converted to islam by their will after feeling secure and loved il 7imdillah.
and im so sorry for my extra long comment : ( .
