FAQ
Still unsure how the process works, what it costs, or what happens if things don’t work out? Here are some common questions families ask us before hiring a domestic helper.
We help families hire transfer helpers already in Singapore as well as new helpers from Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines. Each category has different timelines, fees and experience levels, and we will recommend the most suitable option after understanding your needs.
As a general guide, it can take around 2–4 weeks, depending on the type of helper and MOM processing times.
Transfer helpers who are already in Singapore may be able to start faster once paperwork is approved, while new helpers from overseas will need additional time for documentation, training and travel.
The total cost typically includes:
• Agency service fee
• MOM-related fees (work permit, medical, etc.)
• Insurance and security bond
• Any placement loan (if applicable, within MOM guidelines)
For a full breakdown, please refer to our maid agency pricing page.
We know that even with careful matching, sometimes things may not work out. That’s why our maid services include up to 3 free replacements within the service period.
