Who writes these guides

The guides are written by the MaidAgencies.sg editorial team using questions families ask most often when comparing agencies. They are reviewed when hiring rules or common practices change, and they link to the Ministry of Manpower for official requirements.

Choosing a maid agency

Before you hire a helper

A practical list of questions about experience, caregiving, cooking, language, rest days and expectations, so your interview covers what matters most to your family and nothing important is left to assumption.

Transfer maid profiles

What transfer status means, why a helper might be changing employers, how quickly a transfer can start, and what to confirm with the agency before you make an offer.
