I am having lots of trouble finding a partime helper to work from 4pm to 8 pm. Does anyone know what agency i can go thru to get a part time local maid That will clean and make dinner?

Try the YWCA retraining program. They offer a housekeeping training program and then try to place the ladies who successfully complete the course. They sent me a brilliant housekeeper several years ago and she's still with me! I called in with my requirements (time/language/job description) and price. They gave me a list of possibilities to interview. Here is their phone number for HKI: 27558653. I was a first timer so they guided me through the whole process and suggested that I offer $50/hr since I only wanted a housekeeper to come Mon/Wed/Fri for 4hours each day. Oh, and you need to pay for travel expenses. (Mine was able to walk to my home when I was in Kowloon, but now I cover her costs for traveling from Kowloon to the MidLevels). Best Wishes
