You can't legally employ a Phillipine maid in China. However your biggest concern is gone be the VISA for the Phillipine.

Why choose a Phillipine? Plenty of Ayi's here.

Lots of Phillipine maids in China, Tons of them!  All legally employed! Especially in HK.

English speaking, trustworhty, and no commie BS!

I think it is somewhat difficult now.  I bet they'd rather be English teachers than maids. 

how is it derrogatory? many locals seek out philipina maids. expats want philipina maids because they speak english. where's the mystery. you really have to focus yyour efforts in shanghai, beijing , guangzhou and see if they can send one out to you

It is very simple. You only can employ foreigners in China for jobs which can't be done by Chinese, Noway around this. Legally you cannot employ anyone els then a Chinese for maid. Plenty of Ayi's here waiting for a job. As told before the biggest problem is the VISA and if the PSB find it out, you will deported immediately, no question about it. Yeah...yeah.. I know, many people doing it and don't have problems blablabla......

In mainland China, Filipina maids (or any non-Chinese) are illegal.  In HK, it is a different story.  But on the mainland, that is the law.

However...  TIC.  There are agencies out there in most major cities that you can get a Filipina maid from if you so desire.  A lot of locals like them because they also serve as English teachers for their kids.

They are brought into China on teacher passports, but in reality they serve as maids.  They are normally much more expensive than a Chinese maid and run about 6-10k per month from what I have been told.

China has been cracking down on this recently, so even if you find one, she may not be able to stay long.

Again without a Work Permit....they are working illegally.
And you, as their employer, face penalties, fines, and If you are not Chinese, there is a decent chance you will be deported as well.
Acquiring an "X, L", F..., whatever" Visa does not give your AYI the right to work.
All it takes is one pissed of Chinese Ayi who thinks that you should be employing a Chinese person to go to the PSB and complain...

Just so you know.

Cannot believe that some RETARTED people giving here freacking ILLEGAL advise. Hopefully the government will not screen this website here.
