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.

It's not easy to find a young female slave for a reasonable price today. Hard times...

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?

There are hundreds of thousands of jobs and positions that people don’t aspire to do but that doesn’t make them ‘desperate types’... it makes them realists. 

 

I do my job because I have to, I didn’t work hard enough, wasn’t clever enough, wasn’t good enough, wasn’t in the right time at the right place to do something better....   its not a bad career and I often enjoy my work, but sometimes I think I may have been better off in a different career.

I suspect many people think the same. 

 

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
