Housemaid
By zx11bikerboy •
Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm new to Qatar and was just wondering what the formalities are for getting a housemaid, i.e. sponsoring a visa,etc. Are there part timers available as well, as a friend of mine plans on moving here in Jan with his wife and little baby.Thanks in advance.
(I can't resist responding to another housemaid query!)
There are many part-time housemaids. Check the Classfieds (Services section) on QL. Also, there are some personal numbers I'll PM you.
Full-time housemaid (which I'm processing now) is, IMHO, is a better option. It's more expensive at 1st (QR6000 initial agency fee) but it's cheaper in the long-run since part-timers charge a lot more. Also, part-timers are sometimes (or often?) late or undependable. When I hired a part-time housemaid, she was often late and brought other problems. A full-time housemaid is always at your disposal and is never late. Getting a housemaid fresh to Doha (via housemaid agency or an overseas friend) is better since she'll not know how to play the manipulation game.
