A good friend of mine is having a baby very soon and will want to hire a helper for only a few hours a day. On top of that she only wants to employ someone who speak Mandarin as she wants the baby to hear the language basically from birth. How would you go to find a helper like that, are there specific agencies? I understand that it is difficult to hire someone who has no residency problem but if you pay the price is it possible?

if pay the price then anything is possible, isnt it? i think what you looking for is a local who speaks the lingo, and probably best is to find a housewife with a bit bigger kids who likes to spoend time with kiddies
why not put up an advert in park n shop and welcome?

Why not try to hire a local domestic helper who is originally from the mainland?
If you go to: http://www.jobs.gov.hk/eng/domestic/employer/employer.aspx and register, you can search people (mostly women) who have signed up to be domestic helpers through the Govt. service.
You can select by where they live, and salary. But, local domestic workers are more expensive than those from overseas. The asking salaries for Mandarin speaking ones are mostly over 4K per month, with some of the more experienced asking between 5K and 6K.

I'm going to report you for child abuse. Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
