I have came across this CL's contact on the internet before. She has bad reviews. Suggest all mummies Google up the phone number before hiring them, just as a prevention method.
The bad review goes like this: ‘Lan’ Jie from Kajang, mid 40s, a bit plump, length hair slightly shorter than shoulder and highlighted in red, talk very fast. Her phone number is 016-9695361.
We should stop pitying the CL, since most of them like to take advantage of people's kindness. My first CL also asked for deposit of RM500, then about a month before my delivery, she asked for advance payment of RM800, I smelled something fishy but was frustrated that I had no backup CL last minute. She said she needed the money to help her son buy a car. So I negotiated to bank in a lower amount to her coz I was afraid she would bail out if I did not bank in. I said I needed the money to buy baby stuffs too. Turns out it makes no difference. My baby decided to come out slightly earlier than the agreed EDD, about 2 weeks. She said she is busy. I plead with her to come and she said that she will consider. Then she says she is out of state in Perak and has no bus ticket to come back, no promises. Then I called her again around 3rd day after my delivery. She did not pick up my call and I had to call her for many many times (say 30 times throughout the day), then only she picked up my call. She said that she hurt her hand and it is very painful that she can't do my confinement anymore. So I asked for a refund of my deposit. She only returned half of it. It was better than nothing. So Mommies out there, we must try our best to protect ourselves. These CL business is really spiraling out of control and it's like Mommies are at their whims and fancy.
