Any Recommendation of a Good Maid Agency
-
hey people, question!!
What’s "Settling In Program Fee", when you hire a fresh maid? Many agencies are charging $75 as per MOM standards, but this particular agency charging $150, also agency fee is $988. Apparently, $150 includes transportation, so whats the agency for?? Any idea why so? Aiyo… why like that la?? -
Didnt your agency tell you what is Settling in Programme ? You can get the info on MOM website lah. just like employer have orientation programme ,they give fresh maid SIP to teach them about culture in singapore..then about the rules here...
why not you bring in a maid direct,save so much money .no need to pay 988..no need to pay 150 hahhaa.. ... anyway wch agency is this ,can PM me ?? so cheap ah..i ask around ..i was quoted 1188,1288,, like budget wah cialak,,i need to pay ..food & lodging also ..when the maid come here they put in the dormitory... then their agency fees dont include work permit application ,or thumb printing..oh yeah they charge also more than $100 for SIp , when i ask them ,they say transport. ridiculous.. ..truth is if you need a maid must pay lay,,if the maid come ,good maid,, you lucky..if bad maid..die lah worse if your agency dont want to help.aiyoh.. :? -

A PLUS MAID AGENCY… a family run business.
Horrible agency! Dont trust them. -
Hi,
I have paid agency fee of $488 to get a new maid over the weekend but now my current maid has just told me that she wish to renew her contract with us. There is no refund from this agency, would like to check if anyone happen to be looking for a maid, I can transfer the paid amount to you at a discount. Please pm me for further details.
Thanks!! -

Although getting a good maid is heng or suay, a better maid agency will help you to filter the right one and most importantly, able to help you when you and the maid run into problem.
The maid agency i used is the most expensive in term of agency fee and salary for the maid( u can pm me for name). The owner flies to Manila to interview the prospective applicants personally. She will reject those that are not fit to be FDW. We can view on the video how she interview the maid in philippines and it gives you a good sense about the maid -body language and look. We will also get the tel no to call the maid directly without the presence of agent ( to avoid agent coaching at the back or interference). so far my relative and myself had decent experience with my maid, all can work type, and my maid’s friends who came through this agency has no problem with their employers, among all i heard only one being returned (which is very lower percentage compared to some other who openly admitted to me only 50% of them can make it throguh 2 years contract). Of course, along the way, I do have some challenges with my maid(not too serious type anyway), and I called her up for advice. She provided me good advice/tips how to deal with her.
For me I do not mind to pay more to use a better agency, because having problem with maid means more money and time wasted, worse still if she abuses your young children or elderly. We should avoid those maid agency who instigate the maid to transfer or those who do not bother to counsel the maid or advice employer properly when things go wrong - you can check this data through MoM website on the maid turnover rate. Some maid agency will treat you nice before you get the maid from them and then change attitude after you get into problem with maid. I will also avoid those agencies whose owners are philippino as they tend to pro the maids.
For those who get ex-Sin, you can verify their work history through Mom website ( very easy to DIY) as some agencies lied or did not conduct due diligence. -

Some very good advice u have there. The better agent will help you filter and not just close the deal. These are never mend by Pinoy or Indon themselves.Although getting a good maid is heng or suay, a better maid agency will help you to filter the right one and most importantly, able to help you when you and the maid run into problem.
