Housekeeper required
Friends of mine,both very busy professional people,are looking for a Filipino housekeeper to help run their home in a small town some 20 miles south of London.
Where is the best place to advertise such a position?

Gumtree. People don't tend to advertise for a Filipina because there are laws against such advertising, but the way round it seems to be asking for a Tagalog speaking Housekeeper.

Why is the job limited only to Filipino ??
Is a Filipino language spoken in the household ??
I have a big doubt about this post.

We get these ones now and again, they try it on offering the world, thinking that these 'rich' city folk can get their servant from the Philippines for pennies, thinking that they are gullible......

I know what your saying Steve. They come unstuck in London though because the Filipinas are quick to find out their true worth. There's plenty of them and they all talk to each other so they know the going rate. My wife's starting a new job on 1st July for the same money she's on at the moment but 11 hours less per week. She's delighted.
One note of caution is I always take her to interviews just to be on the safe side.

That's good Marco. Pleased for her.
But i think the problem is that by making posts like the OP did, it looks like they are after cheap labour. Also there are so many scammers out there like we have seen on this forum before that offer jobs to people in the Philippines, who subsequently get conned. This is why we are very wary of posters like this and why we normally remove posts like this.If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

What a terrible way to welcome new people to your site.
I am well aware my post might seem to some as odd or suspicious to some people.As I said,my friends are very busy people.I deal with all their property related matters,hence they asked me to help them.
That said this is clearly not the site I was hoping it would be,and I will not come back.
ADMIN Please delete my account.Thank you.

Welcome you ?
You place an 'advert', without even a hello, a please or a thankyou ?

Well mister, you've got some real thin skin there.
This is cyberspace. Don't let your pride think there was a targeted attack on you.
Take a step back and consider how you approached your introduction and first post.
As you intimated, you're only here to seek potential employees. On that basis this is clearly not a site for you.
Goodbye

In answer to the question, The Lady magazine is a good place for both employers and employees.

Im not going to come across as being popular for this I know...
But..I think we didn't really give the OP a chance to
answer the queries before we berated them with such rudness..
Im not sure its a good idea to label these kinds of posts as anything but a job opportunity for a Filipino looking for work in the UK.. I'm pretty sure that a comprehensive interview would be required before any job offers were made or accepted..
Sometimes we forget that these types of post are made by people on behalf of others that do not use forums that often or at all...Perhaps the OP was just trying to do someone a favour and didn't look beyond that..
Anyway.. Thats what I think!!
