Your Singapore Maid Resource Website

A to Z Simple Understanding of Employing a Maid in Singapore:

1. If you like to leave all the work to the maid agency, here's what you should do:

- check out this list of duly licensed employment agency maintained by the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. 

- note that in the list above, not all employment agencies are maid agencies. Maid agencies should have an accreditation body indicated by CaseTrust (accredited by the Consumers Association of Singapore) or AEAs (accredited by the Association of Employment Agencies).

- it is also important to make sure that the Demerit Points are as low as possible (if they hit 12, they are almost out). Better yet, make sure it's zero.

- of course, not all agencies listed are going to be your cup of tea. Do your research, ask around. See whether there are people saying more good things than bad things about them. I don't think any of them is perfect. Maybe, some are better than the rest.

- that's it. This is the really easy way out. Any other questions? Ask the maid agency.

- as a side-note, here are some testimonials given by CaseTrusted businesses on the Consumers Association of Singapore accreditation program.

- here's a list of Singapore maid agencies accredited by the Consumers Association. Move the cursor down to find the list.

- if you are a first-time employer, visit the Singapore Polytechnic website to do your Employer's Orientation Program.

- you can either do the course online or offline in a classroom. Take your pick.

- if you are getting a maid from overseas, make sure that the girl has a minimum of 8 years formal education, is 23 years old and above, and most importantly, click on this link and read, read, read - so that you understand everything.

- click around and read all the necessary information so that you have everything down pat. When in doubt, contact the Singapore Ministry of Manpower here.

- in particular, take note of the terms and conditions of employing a maid in Singapore.

- you must also read the Employer's Guidelines here.
