Hiring a Maid in Singapore

Hiring a Professional Maid in Singapore
2
Hiring maid is a common practice here in
Singapore. Here, women from various nations
congregate to earn their living as housemaids,
carrying out chores and saving enough to send
money back to their families in their home
countries.
3
While having a maid may seem like a luxury to
many, but it is actually required especially when
you're juggling a job, children and household
tasks. It's wonderful to have an extra set of
hands to help out with very young children, or
with cooking a meal, keeping the house sand or
dust free, or hosting your friends.
4
Hiring a maid all on your own can be a process
fraught with risk and littered with paperwork.
Fortunately there are many organized maid
agencies in Singapore today to take on the onus
of vetting trustworthy maids. Selecting a maid
company can be a little daunting though, so we
suggest having this mental checklist while going
about it.
5
Check their credentials While maid agencies are
a dime a dozen, the industry in Singapore is not
highly regulated and you must be careful not to
be taken in. Look whether the maid agencies are
registered with MOM (Ministry of Manpower). Also
beware of the testimonials on their own website -
especially if they carry generic names and
non-specific locations, such as Sam Smith,
Jumeirah.
6
Check what services they offer Different maid
agencies offer different services as most of them
do offer cleaning, dusting, vacuuming,
dishwashing, laundry and ironing. Some agencies
also have nannies, some offer full time maids,
some offer part timers and some offer both.
7
Check their rates There's not much to choose
from when it comes to rates of maid agencies in
Singapore, but there will be marginal differences
you can take advantage of. Usually, rates are
charged per hour and you're required to call in a
maid for a minimum number of hours, which could
start at 3 hours per day, or 4, depending on the
agency.
8
Full time maids are charged differently. Maids
from different countries of origin are eligible
for different minimum salaries, as stipulated by
their home embassies. Moreover, if you're hiring
a nanny, you may have to pay a one-time
registration fee and a processing fee, which will
vary from agency to agency.
9
Agencies might give discounts for long term
bookings, or reduce rates for deep cleaning
services or one-off services if you are a regular
customer. Check if they conduct background
checks The big worry about letting a stranger
into your house is ensuring that they won't walk
away with the family silver.
10
Or worse yet, ill treat your children, as has
happened in Singapore on numerous occasions.
Speak to the maid agency to understand what kind
of screening they have conducted on each
candidate. Housemaid Portal helps you in finding
the MOM registered and confidential maid agencies
where you can find a maid of your choice.
