To the uninitiated wishing to make a negative judgement this may appear to be the case.

 

However, many who have employed maids over the years have found that domestic service workers from Myanmar simply do a far better job regardless of the wage.  The only issue is that the do tend to ’disappear’ !!... i.e. they take a month off and go back to Myanmar for Songkran and just don’t return....

 

Domestic workers in the USA are almost always foreigners, usually from Latin America.  The simple fact is locals are not interested in such a job--low pay, long hours, hard work, and just an all-around cra*py existence.  The same in Thailand.  The only people who will gladly do this type of work are the desperate types.  That's what the OP wants.  As for wanting a young female....5555

Not at all true based on experiences hiring maids over 30 years.

Are you one of those guys who always brings up the exception to the rule?  Simple question:  would you want your daughter to be a maid?

Girls / Guys don’t grow up wanting to become a maid or a waiter - but its something they are happy to do because like everyone else they need the work.

 

".....happy to do".....???   I beg to differ.  Unless they're from some impoverished or war-torn country...which is the point.

No.  You miss the point which is your “rule” is not a rule, it is a mistaken thought.

 

Why not?  It can be a honest responsible helpful activity.  But of course avoiding working for those who lack respect and understanding.

 

I'm not sure why you're arguing the point.  There's a reason why domestic workers, not only in Thailand, but the USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, Middle East, etc., are typically foreigners from developing nations.  Heck, the OP is asking about a Burmese maid.....why?  Because he thinks they'll accept a lower wage and be happy about it.

and why does she have to be young?

'All Inclusive'.

My Wife also insists on a younger maid (i.e. less than 50 or at least not horribly unfit)..  we have 3 flights of stairs in our house... 

Older maids simply do not want to go up and down the stairs, we’ve found them to be a little lazier. 

 

IF the Ops father needs physical assistance, lifting, helping into a chair etc a younger maid may be more physically able to assist.
