Trusted Maid Agency in Singapore

As most Filipino Maids understand English instructions well, you may get more reliable help with caring for your children, achieving a peace of mind. Generally, they can also understand your needs better.

The majority of Filipino maids are Catholics and some might need off days on Sundays to go to church. They also draw a higher salary compared to their counterparts from Myanmar or Indonesia but many families are willing to pay more for the fuss-free communication and reliable help.

An extra pair of hands can go a long way in tidying up the house. Indonesian maids are generally more hardworking and very willing to learn when it comes to doing daily household chores. Many of them are also humble and easier to work with.

Indonesian maids are fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, similar to Bahasa Melayu in Singapore. Nevertheless, they do have a basic command of English and many can quickly pick up simple Mandarin or dialects. As such, they are generally more popular with the elderly who can speak Bahasa Melayu or Malay families who share the same culture and religious practices as them.

Burmese Maids

These maids from Myanmar are known to have a strong work ethic, with the commitment to work hard. They also draw a lower salary compared to their counterparts from the Philippines or Indonesia, which may be a consideration for families who are on a budget.

Some Burmese maids are not used to city living and might need some extra guidance to familiarise them with the environment.

Transfer maids are maids whose existing contract with another employer has ended or is cut short. Their employer might not require their services anymore as they are re-locating or feel like their family is not a good fit with the maid.

The cost of hiring them is generally lower as expenses like plane tickets and work permit fees are excluded. Less training time is also needed as most transfer maids are more experienced and can understand simple English, Mandarin or other dialects, than new maids.  

At Femme5, all our maids are fully trained and equipped to handle housekeeping chores, child care, elder care, preparing meals and pet care. Whether they are from Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines or transfer maids, they also undergo additional pre-training to provide the targeted needs that you require. We strongly believe that a strong fit makes a happy home.

DISCLAIMER: Ultimately, maids are individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses. Other factors like work experience, age, education and training should also be considered when hiring a maid.
