A piece of advise for those generous people who send their maid home twice a year or who give her business class tickets. Ask your maid if she prefers cash. Most of them are here to earn enough to buy a land, a house, or something else in their home town. Buying a business class ticket may help you feel good about yourself but it does not help the maid.
My maid has kids back home and still she preferred cash after a year when we asked her if she wants to go back for a month with paid leave.
So, if you want to be nice to your maid, pay her more.
And also, can someone mention a name of agency that charges 6000-7000 QAR. I paid 9500 last year plus the visa cost plus medical, photograph, RP etc. I even had to buy her clothes and shoes after she arrived.
