    While the accreditation is optional, it adds recognition and a trust factor to the agency.

    Maid agency basics

    Choosing a maid agency in Singapore is tricky. With the myriad of companies available, parents can’t help but be overwhelmed. So, here are some basic pointers for picking out a maid agency to help you:

    Check the license

    Stick to only licensed maid agencies. No matter how cheap the fees of the unlicensed ones are, they are not worth the trouble.

    Fees

    The MOM doesn’t have a say in these agencies’ fees. With this said, it is important for parents to find a particular agency that is within their budget.

    maid agency

    MOM closely monitors maid agencies in Singapore.

    Black-marked agencies

    Licensed maid agencies in Singapore are closely monitored by the MOM. Hence, any complaints about the FDW or misbehaviours by her are noted and listed on their website.

    A maid agency that does not respect the Employment Agencies Act, Rules, or Licenses terms and conditions will be awarded demerit points.

    The points last for six months and will be removed if no further demerit points are given. Agencies with 12 or more demerit points will be closely monitored by MOM, and in certain cases, a company’s license may even be revoked.

    Get a contract

    As soon as parents choose a maid agency, they should always ask for a properly written contract. This contract must be properly evaluated and reviewed.

    All terms and conditions must be completely understood and agreed upon before signing anything. 

    Match your needs

    According to Mdm Josine Tin, a maid agent in Singapore, it is very important for parents to share the needs of their family with the agencies. 

    She further advises employers to be as descriptive as possible and that it’s better to overshare than share so that the agency can accurately match you up with an FDW that’s right for your family.

    Go there on a Sunday

    Mdm Tin added that potential employers head to their agencies on a Sunday to look for a helper, as most of the FDWs would be in the agency.

    If you happen to like a particular helper, it’s a good idea to employ her as soon as possible. The longer you wait the higher the chance that she will be hired by someone else.
