Any Recommendation of a Good Maid Agency

[Angelique]

I have tried maid power, service good they don't advertise on internet and I got fresh maid from them who was excellent and few girls who came same time with my ex maid, they all finished contract, hard working.( From Philippine)

I have tried Anisya ... ( free web for maid and employer)total nightmare, girl whom I interviewed seem quiet and finished all her contacts but as soon as she set a foot in my house she started to demand Wifi, money for toiletries, money for top up... etc etc all within 3 hours of arriving..
Anyway eventually we had to send her back and she threaten to run away..
We gave her 1month salary in lieu if notice and police arrived as she made so much noise.
NO AGENT= free? No... when things go bad then you are stuck with crazy maid and u have to do the all the work by yourself!
Eventually I engaged JLW maid agency and got Myanmar agent called Kyi Aye, very nice lady and I stuck with this agency because Kyi Aye is very trustworthy, unfortunately that don't mean good maids though... I have had couple of Sotong maids that had to be rtn to agency.
My current maid ( Myanmar) is finishing 3yrs from Kyi Aye recommendation and going home.

I have engaged another agency as JLW don't have girls I'm looking for currently. I just hope new girl will work out.
In the end, its luck ... even agent bad if you are lucky then u can get gold but if you are not so lucky u pick a rubbish stone from diamond mine...
I don't like Katong very much but I did go with a gf to help me to select as my friend have a sharp eye.

Good luck to all..cross fingers!!

Update

Maid we hired ran away after 2days!!
Agent at Katong not doing much to help!
Now I google their agency , have a lot of bad reviews and all sound like my problem!!
How to get back Maid loan?? Almost $4000
Agent fee $800!!
Omg... maid allowed to cook Indonesian food and spoke to her family then next day she disappeared.
Condo CCTV caught her leaving building at 4am!!
Lesson learnt, find out AGENCY FIRST!!!
Even girl is not great a good agency can help you! Bad agency and crazy/ homesick maid is a lot of headache and stress!

I'm going back to my old agent... at least she never cheat me or give me trouble!
I appreciate her a lot more now!!

Now... how to get my loan back from KATONG agency, how to find maid??!!
:yikes:

Hi all,

We have been hiring maids from one of the maid agency for last 6 years.This time when we hired a Indonesian transfer maid in January,she worked only for one & half months and wanted a transfer.We did mention to the agency but they were not keen in finding a transfer maid in replacement. Since the maid did not want to work,we had no maid for a month. They insisted we take a new one,which we did.The 2nd maid after working for 2months now wants to transfer as well.We seem to have been caught in a trap.The new ones who come in have adjustment problems and miss home.
The agency tells us they don’t have any transfer maids.
What should we do?

If you need a maid agency with good customer service, I recommend the one I'm using right now. The name of Maid Agency I'm using right now is http://www.swiftmaids.com.sg/. I have used their service for about 3 years now and I can say that I'm satisfied with how they handle customer problems. In fact, I have similar problem just last year but when I contacted them they managed to solve the problem swiftly.

Previously i got my helper from ISLAND MAIDS. can try them also. I was served by the staff name zhi yong. his service not bad, even my helper now a bit sotong, but whenever I need help to translate or talk to the maid he always help. agency price reasonable also. but most importantly is we found a good agent like him, who never forget after service. Thankful for that

I have been looking around for a maid for my elderly father who was recently diagnosed with cancer; I must have gone thro’ at least 30 agencies, reviewed over 100 bios, and met about 20 helpers. Here are my humble conclusion - go with a smaller owner-run agency instead of the big Four. At Nation (supposedly the largest in Singapore), the agent paraded 20 maids in front of me and my mom and asked us to "choose one!" Smaller owner-run agencies are more personal and really committed to their reputation and credibility, and of course to make money as well.As the helper pool is smaller, these smaller agencies tend to screen their helpers more carefully to avoid replacements and transfers. Here are 2 I would recommended: OneClick at Kreta Ayer (near Chinatown) ask for Angela or James (owners), and R.C. Employment at Everton Park (near SGH) ask for Rozie (owner). I found my helper from one of them but both agencies were very helpful and attentive even when i watched them dealt with other clients with young kids. Finally, do go to the MoM website to check the ratings of agencies and agents. Good luck. Daddy

yea previously we also took helper from Island MAID before, now my maid almost finished 2 yrs contract without giving me any issues. i think the service quality of the agency really matter alot for employer like us who in search for helper endlessly, somemore i only believe in CASE trust company which alot of agencys dun have. i think can call them and ask more if you guys looking for good maid 67577703

Hi Everyone,

I want to tell you "not to go to DANS SERVICES" at any cost. I have had two filipino maids from them. Both the maids were terrible. 1st one had affairs in Manilla itself (their lodging camp). The agent knew it and she told me nothing about it and instead said she is a very nice girl, etc. We paid a lot to get her as she was a new maid (not transfer). After she came here, she was pregnant in 2 months. She took abortion pills without my knowledge and was bleeding. I saw that and got very worried. and had to immediately send her back home. 2nd maid was a transfer maid. The agent told me that she is very nice, etc and this maid was horrible. Always lieing, multiple boy friends, screaming and shouting at us, interfering in all our personal matters. We tolerated her for a good one year as she was good at cooking our food and since we had already had 3 bad ones before this, we felt we will somehow manage with this as we don’t know if the next one would be better or worse. Things got so bad when i got to know she had pinched my 3 year old son’s thighs as she was angry with him. The same minute I asked her to pack and leave.
I took picture of my son’s thighs, I also had audio recording of how she was misbehaving and when I showed it to the agent they hardly did anything about it. When my husband wanted to cancel her work permit, the agent is telling me to give the maid one more chance to find another employer. I was shocked. If I hadn’t sent her back, this bloody agency would have told some other person she is very nice and sent her to their home. This great woman would have continued to torture that family as well.

Not just this, many of my friends who have gone in for DANS have had very bad experiences. All bad maids. Please don’t go in for DANS.

I personally engage with ISLAND MAIDS service, the service and the quality of maid are up to the standard I would say. They never once fail to understand what im looking for. My maid from them finished 2 yr contract and now have renewed with me. i recommend my office colleague there also, so far so good. highly recommended

Hi, I'm a single parent with two children. I don't want to leave my child in nursery because I have bad experience with them before, so I'm also searching for a good and honest maid to take care of them. I live in Yishun and got a recommendation from a friend for a good Maid Agency around my place. He recommended me http://www.swiftmaids.com.sg, and I'm very glad I listened to him. The Indonesian Maid I hired is very diligent and patient, she never have any problem with my children. Maybe I'm just lucky because I heard many other Indonesian Maid have bad reputation, but I saw your plight and I want to recommend this as someone who know how hard it is to get a good maid.
