Learn where to find a good helper through these maid agencies in Singapore.

When it comes to taking care of children and looking after a household, good help is a boon to busy and overwhelmed parents. Unfortunately, searching for a dependable Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) can be quite a challenging task starting right from looking for a good maid agency.

But with help from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), parents can now employ maids from numerous reputable maid agencies in Singapore. Here’s more about selecting a good maid agency in Singapore.

 

How to Find the Best Maid Agency in Singapore

To date, there are more than 500 maid agencies in Singapore that are licensed by the Ministry of Manpower. Only a licensed maid agency is allowed to act as a middleman in finding maid jobs in Singapore.

On top of their issued MOM license, these reputable agencies can also choose to have their companies accredited by employment accreditation bodies such as CaseTrust and the Association of Employment Agencies of Singapore (AEAS).

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


Online Tool to Find Maid Agencies 

The MOM has an online tool that allows potential employers to hire good maid agencies. With this service, you can find a maid agency that best matches your needs, and check on their qualifications and other essential components of their track record.

Maid Agency Basics

Choosing a maid agency in Singapore is tricky. With the myriad companies available, parents can’t help but be overwhelmed. So, here are some basic pointers in 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 misbehaviors 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 it’s better to overshare than under 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.
