LOL! hahahahah. I loved scenario 3!
There are companies who are specialized in this. So did you finally manage or would you need some suggestions?
Hahaha MALYALI!!
isn't it malayalam? as in the language...
Haha, that was funny.
It's so hard to find good help these days ;P
Just kidding, but yeah, as who-sane said there are agencies that can help you out with this sort of thing I'm sure.
*who-sane - hehe yup, #3 was the last straw for me! As soon as he said "Malyali" I just thought I HAD to share it here!
Thank you so much for the suggestion, I already found somebody!
*al-republican - yeah, exactly! MALYALI!! *_*
*buj, no clue. I have heard the word "malyali" - no idea which is linguistically correct, and as far as I am concerned, I'd prefer English over Malyali any day!
*moviemania - yeah it's hilarious. You'd need immense patience to go through this ordeal. I do have a zillion missed calls on my mobile and gave up my search once I got someone who actually understood what I wanted...which was not much, really, considering my simple requirements! Thanks - already got somebody - the agencies don't make a difference, trust me. I thought I'd go direct. As least I'd be dealing with just ONE person rather than a whole agency too!
haha! this is so funny :)
but I do understand your pain on finding a decent maid, not easy these days.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,,,
Foot massage, LOL
Loved scenario 3 too,,,
'Then, on the first day of work, he informed me his skills include foot massage.'
