All About Part-Time Maids

[1amber]

Just want to share my experience since going without a FT maid for more than a month now. Tried Glory Cleaning and they were friendly, efficient and provided one PT maid immediately. Company itself ok but maid a bit new and cannot finish work (even with 4 hours!).


Also checked out Domestic One and found the guy who answered the phone really stuck up. Have never in my life encountered such an obnoxious service provider before and he even hung up the phone on me. Didn’t want to entertain questions and behaved like I am begging him. Will never use them again.

I am doing without a full time maid now and am also looking for a part time maid for once a week cleaning, ironing clothes (3-4 hours). I live in the north. Any recommendations.

I heard those cheap cheap one like very dangerous lo. Very high chance illegal ones. I rather pay more for legal ones.

Can ijust ask, for those who engage pt time maid 2x a week–what is the job scope-is it just the same chores 2x a week?

so the cleaner wash the toilets twice a week? Sweep/mop and iron clothes

yes generally that. Also cleaning fan, windows when once a month. There are some variances between agencies. You can discuss your requirements with them before engaging. e.g. I want them to clear my balcony of dried/fallen leaves and water the plants, wash some pots and pans.

1amber, read in one of your posts that you are using Glory Services. Are you still using them? Once a week and 4 hrs per session?

I called Glory and Raffles services and they didn't call back. So I googled some more and found E Marketing & house services. You can go to their website housecleanerssingapore.com

A bit more expensive. I am paying $20.5/h flat. It is more expensive but I insisted on a singaporean and they sent me one. She is very good leh. Independent, and experienced. Not need for me to supervise. Tall and beautiful somemore. 55 years old got driving license. Not like an auntie at all.

What I like about this arrangement not to pay commission or one time admin fee is that I can then try them out and if not suitable move to another service provider. They charge in advance $328 for 4 sessions. If you want to renew then you pay for the next 4 session. If not, just move on.

Today is my first session. I will update about my singaporean beauty again.

ps I m not a shareholder of that company

1amber, how did you Singaporean beauty fare yesterday?
