        Fettuccine\" post_id=\"6627\" time=\"1219936059\" user_id=\"1022:

        After visiting this site, I got a bit scared. I'm new and just got the cert to hire one. I thought generally Fillipinos are ok, as I heard from friends. Thought they are more compassionate and less violent then the rest...

        Has anyone got any maids from Signature Employment? As far as I know, the agency is accredited with Casetrust, and their service seems friendly. As for the maids, I have absolutely no idea.

        Anyone has any good recommendations for Fillipino maids or any other recommendations for good employment agency around East Coast/Katong area?

        I just need help mainly with household chores, cooking and taking care of my other 2 kids (age 4 and 6) 😄
        You can try Best Helper, contact Mr Phng - 87876674. I got mine from them. I got 2 kids too around your kids age. So far so good.

          Just sharing info on self renewal of Work Permit (WP) for helpers:


          About 60 days ie 8 weeks before the expiry of WP, employer would be notified via mail or on MOM website to renew or cancel the WP.

          1) Buy medical insurance.
          I find this a bit tedious bec need to fill in quite a lot of details.
          I bought the insurance from NTUC INCOME on 1 Aug about 1.30pm and this renewed insurance coverage was updated on MOM website on 2 Aug 8.30am

          2) Renew WP on MOM website
          This is quite a breeze. A renewal confirmation was issued once I paid the renewal fee of $35.

            Appreciate advice, pls.

            For helpers returning their country for Home Leave, do we as employers buy travel insurance for them?
            Thank you.

              No, under MOM regulations, there is no mention that eyers are required to buy travel insurance. FDW are only required to purchase FDW MI & PA.

              There is NEVER any mention for need to buy travel insurance for FDW.

                  For sharing info on Home Leave Processing for Filippino helpers:


                  As soon as the airfare of helper is bought (late Sep to early Oct), I started to source for agencies to do the Home Leave Processing when I confirmed I could not be DIY.

                  Thanks to some mums here who gave valuable advice. I decided to engage the service of Kelly in Pamako Employment Agency located at Beauty World Shopping Centre.

                  In early May, I spoke with Kelly who advised me that I need to renew the WP of helper first before we could kick start anything.

                  She emailed 3 forms for my dad (employer) and helper to sign.

                  In late Jul, I received the notification from MOM on renewal of WP.

                  In early Aug, I bought the medical insurance and renewed the WP.

                  Today I brought the confirmation of renewal WP from MOM, the signed forms, helper’s passport, photocopies of dad’s ic and helper’s WP to Kelly.

                  As there is a 60 days validity, she cant process my application until late Aug.

                  She will update once she received the approval.

                  I asked her what to expect from the processing. She said the signed forms will be stamped by the embassy to indicate that helper could leave for Spore to work.

                  Ok, some more days of waiting before this job is considered done.

                      I recommend Kelly in Pamako Employment Agency.
                      (am NOT related to her and am NOT in this industry).

                      You need to hv helper's WP, her passport and employer's NRIC.

                      Kelly will give you a few forms to fill (not much sweat). You can always ask her to email you the forms so that you can save a trip to the agency centre.

                      Based on your helper's departure date, she will advise you when to come to submit the forms for processing. It cant be too early and of course NOT too late.

                      In my case, my helper's departure date on 24 Sep. I submitted the forms to her on 4 Aug. She started the processing on 8 Aug and I just received and collected the Approval (23 Aug).
