3 things you must know about maid agencies and hiring a helper in singapore
If you can find a helper who is highly recommended by a trusted friend, it may be a good idea to employ that helper. However, there have been cases where the friend over-sold the helper’s skills just to be rid of her. There is also the possibility that the helper may fit in with your friend’s family but not with yours. Still, it is a good idea to give the recommended helper a chance to work with your family and see how it goes. If it works out, great! If it doesn’t, at least both of you gave it a shot. If you’d like to save on agency fees, then filing the application on your own is fine. However, there is a lot that needs to be done before the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) approves the application, such as getting written consent from the helper’s current employer and ensuring that she has undergone a medical examination. Detailed instructions, employer guidelines and the necessary application forms can be downloaded from the MOM website at www.mom.gov.sg.
