I thought it was trendy now to get them from Turkmenistan and less of a language problem. Can you please give us the pros and cons for the two?

Are there not local workers who can or could do this work? The lack of jobs is desperate I thought. Isn't there a rule/law about work permits only being given if locals can't do the job?

In north Cyprus there are rules of hiring foreign workers.

We have got all the information from the labor office and it is not so complicated.

About the local workers ,i realy dont know anything about their professional.

The workers that we are bringing are getting training about the specific

work that they need to do.

In all the world the foreign workers are doing the jobs that the local prefer not to do.

Childcare should only be provided by trained individuals who have been police checked (disclosures) they should also have at least two checkable references.



Obviously relatives and good friends would not require the above.

=> I tried to find any other office than the one in Canada - no luck. Where are the other offices? Furthermore your office is nowhere mentioned on the Canadian website nor are any other foreign offices mentioned. The only thing you seem to have in common with this Canadian organisation is part of the logo.



Little tip for potential "Caregivers" from the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam: in TRNC you are offered 300 Euros A MONTH. In Canada they offer you about 300 Euros A WEEK. (Think! Wink, wink!)

Few years ago i forked out on a second hand pram, a hoover, an iron and a board, a mop, a brush, some dusters, brillo pads, toilet brush, bleach, some sprays and a bucket.

It all took some time to wrap but i could see by the look on my wifes face that she was impressed.



Not just a great practical present but a fabulous cost saver ... it all adds up in these hard up times ..

maybe even the gardener!



or the pool cleaner.he might be a good friend after 10 years of living here!!

They said quite rightly that childcare should be carried out only by TRAINED professionals and should be POLICE CHECKED and also have at least 2 references ( which would have to be checked thoroughly as well)



If it was my child I would do all of the above and more to make sure the person checked out.



They also said that relatives and good friends would not require the above. She said GOOD friends not acquaintances.

They never once indicated that they would leave a child with just anyone i.e. the gardener

I was wondering, 300 euros per month seems awfully cheap. Phillipino domestic workers in Istanbul earn minimum $1000 per month take 1 day off per week, and ask for one months holidays a uear where their boss will buy them a ticket back to the phillipines and pay their wage.



Are these people currently living in the t.r.n.c?



Would the possible employer be required to bring them over from their home country?Or would we get a choice from whomevers on your books?



what are the guarantees that the situation will work out?



Is there any additional tax added to 300 euros per month?



What is the finders fee for such a service?



I had a turkmen lady who lived in with me in Istanbul. She broke the washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, kettle, and my wardrobe doors. She stole vast amounts of food to eat in her bedroom. constantly lied, and whinged about how she couldnt get by on her wages.



She also burnt some nice work trousers and didnt tell me!!



I will never hire a tur

=> It may be the going rate or "the standard" - in my language it's called "uitbuiting" and in yours "exploitation". It's a disgrace to offer 300 Euros (plusminus 650 TL) in TRNC where the minimum wages are 1190 TL.

well I think everyone would be interested in a reply here , so anyone thinking of hiring a domestic through your agency will have enough information in order to make a decision about whether or not to actually call you.

I myself would rather get all the facts before calling because Ive found that when you make an enquiry it seems like you are definitly interested, and I would only be interested if I had all the facts.

I dont think it will hurt you or your business to advise us about the questions being raised especially the questions about being legal? tax, workers permit etc

If its going to cost the same I would rather hire a turkish cypriot who would come daily. Just my opinion.

DutchCrusader,

I agree with you but thats the way the world works. My husband is earning half what he was in Istanbul with none of the perks like driver, car, paid for phone calls, holidays, and Im earning nothing but have been offered a job where I will be earning a third.

We are paying less on our house though and some things are slightly cheaper, but we accepted these things when we decided to move to Cyprus.

Its not only a matter of paying the domestic workers wages, we also pay their days off, their holidays, any specialty food that they like (fruits sauces that are not easily found or are expensive)to eat not counting the food we eat together as a family, holidays with tickets to their home countries and a months wages, clothes, beauty products, shampoos, phone calls. the list goes on...

In istanbul I was paying $1000 per month and extra $200 for the days off(per month) but this doesnt include the rest

Dutch. in istanbul the going rate is 600 TL a month salary



are the turkish goverment or employers exploiting the workforce in some arears?



That why so many mainland turks come here to work in the Wonderful building industry!



300 euros per month for the philipinas is good to them,hotel.catering.ect ect in philipines earn a average of $80 per month.housemaids. house keeping.and the like . so a adventure in another country is a life time oppertunity to them and also they have more money to send home to there families!



who am i to say they should be paid more or less!



its the workers choice to come or not come .they are the ones signing the contract!

they will be brought out to order. a bit like a mail order bride.



its how it works!



as if they are already here some 1 will have to be paying there taxes and insurance. if they got a work permit.but then again once you get them the work permit,youll have to lodge 1000Euros with the bank,and that money stays there until there contract runs out or until they leave the country.

And if I need a nanny or caregiver or teacher for my child in the future I would prefer a native english speaking person. If I cant afford the rates I will just take someone part time.

If they say they can do it legally then its not illegal at all.



people are hiring turkmen workers at 900 tl per month but its amounting to the same as the minimum wage because of the tax and the medical coverage etc. I think the important thing is you cant really find live in domestics here, This is the only other option.



And what about the wages we are earning here? they are very low compared with the rest of the world. If I looked at it that way neither me or my husband would have a job.



Like I mentioned in my above message, the wages are never the reality when hiring a domestic worker, but 300 euros does seem unbelievable to me, and I would never hire someone without trying them out first.



No one should ever profit from someone elses misery, so a more decent wage would be negotiated- including transportation, holidays, flight tickets, etc



to refer to message 37 I dont think I mentioned what 'I think' the going rate is, I made a comparison with the conditions in Istan

istanbul which is the only other place that I have lived where I can compare the situations.



To be fair Zerchlor is also giving information, I dont think he is looking to hire or exploit someone from the phillipines.



Is it humane? no, not to offer someone half the minimum wage of the country they are wokring in as domestics, but like I said before, the total cost will be more that the minimum wage anyway, and the only benefit would be that that person is living in, and not many people want that anyway.



Where can you obtain a reference from such a person? the company has not replied at all to any queries regarding the matter, so



I am not interested, and If I was I think you will find that in my first message I stated that I found the wages very low.

=> Offering 300 Euros/month IS illegal (TRNC law says 1190 TL/month minimum) - so forget about the rest. Just words and excuses. It's in the same league as "importing" desperate women from a country like Moldavia ("hostesses") - it's EXPLOITATION.

do you really think that that is all the wages they will get?



They will get medical insurance and some sort of retirement pension funding. I also dont believe that the wage will be 300 euros if they are working legally.



The wages of the workers should be the equivalent of the minimum wage here, the only thing that would make someone like me consider hiring someone from the outside would be the fact that they would be live-in compared to live out. I dont think it would be easy to find a turkish cypriot lady to live in.



As i said before, If they are LEGAL then this is the procedure.



If they are illegal then thats a different story.



This is something you would have to take up with the company themselves, because they refuse to discuss any details whatsoever and give a very low wage on board.



I think you are targetting the wrong people here.

basically they are trying to get people interested in hiring workers from them.



The domestic with no education, no english and no experience will be reccomended at 300 euros.But there are definitly additional costs, who will pay the ticket? insurance?work permit?taxes?medical insurance? finders fee?



Like I said, this is something you need to ask them.



As someone who has worked with domestics for many years, and all my friends have them too, I know that wages are NEVER EVER that low.



I dont believe that the wages will be that low.



You need tot ake it up with the agency.

Got to agree with Dutch



The amount in ones pocket can sometimes determine what is paradise and what is not.



Retired on a reasonable income,villa with pool ,nice car, nice hot weather,being able to spend £50 in a restaurant ,= paradise.

Same country ,low wages ,long and hard work in hot climate,poor accomodation,lousy public transport,can be somewhat less of a paradise.

I loved living in Istanbul



It has great shopping centers,wonderful leisure activities, great restaurants, bars,bistros, museums, good employment opportunities, great areas to live in - we were living in gokturk in a gorgeous complex with a pool and gym etc, heavenly private gardens.



We as a young couple were earning great money and had a high standard of living.But tot ell you the truth ifyou want to live well in Istanbul you have to pay through the nose.



We moved to North Cyprus because my family retired here, and I am of Turkish Cypriot origin.



Its been a bit of a culture shock.



But I love it here too. Just very quiet

I don't understand, if the minimum wage here is 1190TL which is equates to 475 GBP, you then have rent approx 200 gbp, electric, food, travelling, medical, holidays etc, etc. Now surely 300 euros a month clear after everything has been deducted is not that bad. I would not mind having that clear in my hand each month knowing everything else has been payed especially a months holiday which I can tell you from being employed on the island you would be lucky to get 2 weeks off.

Dear Zire,

I have asked some general questions which should not be too hard to answer for a proffesional company.I looked at your website which was blank. I think you should post the answers here for all people who are interested.

If you cannot or will not answer these questions then I am simply not interested in calling you.



Like I mentioned before, If you read my previous posts, I would like to get all the facts before registering my interest.



Please do not post me any more messages to call you as I WILL NOT until I get the info I require.

Pixie, the lady is offering a service which might benefit a lot of people here in Northern Cyprus. Why are you insisting she do it 'your way?'



She has offered you the opportunity to contact her directly to get the answers you want. You could then post them here if you wished. What's the problem?

I have experience of companys like these. When you call and register your interest they keep calling you back. You cant just say no thanx this is not what Im interested in.



Ive mentioned that Im not interested in bringing over someone from their home country because the situation may not work out, I prefer to have a 1 or 2 week trial basis to see if the employee will fit in with the family and is able to complete tasks to my specific needs.



People place emphasis on different things, so I mentioned in my orevious posts that I would like to know the total cost outlay involved, goverment requirements for work permit, and whether they have staff on hand here ready for interviews and/or trals.



This is really info that should be on their website.



Anyway am not interested anymore because have decided to go with live out , with checkable references.



Im sorry but everyone has their own preferen

preferences.



Its up to everyone else if they want to go with the company or not. I wish them luck.



But I prefer to have all the info before I go ahead with offering a job.



This is just my personal style. No offence to anyone.



Will not post on this thread anymore as its a waste of time for me.

Now you've explained, I can see your point. I didn't think of the potential pestering aspect. Thanks for your full and balanced response.



I do understand that there is a cultural difference in the way business is carried out here and Gunsel's reluctance to say too much online may be partly because of that.

when you say you are looking for a domestic worker there are certain things I expect -



If I end up doing all the work and I have someone who is at home watching tv and eating out the fridge I dont really want to pay the air ticket from the phillipines and be responsible for their work visa etc. Then its difficult to replace them because you have only paid commission for that one person, and normally companies just deal with that first person and if you want to replace them you have to go thru the whole process again.



If lived thru this in Istanbul a few times so Im not willing to try my luck by bringing someone over that I need to train but who is unwilling to do things my way, especially after all the hassle and expence I will be going through.



Sorry if it sounds tough but these are the things that pop to mind when I think of trying out someone new.

I live in the Gulf, we have a live in maid who is from the phillapines, she lives in her own house at the back of ours, All i can say is a total life saver in many ways. We pay her about GBP 250 per month with flights every 2 years. we are v.lucky and has become part of the family. Just my thoughts

There may be a good future in TRNC (and the Gulf, come to think about it) in starting up a "Union for Exploited Third World People".



If people were paid decent salaries they could pay for their own flights.



Would one dare to offer a British boy or girl 250 Sterling/month??!
