Maintaining a spotless home while juggling family responsibilities demands a considerable amount of time and dedication.
In Singapore’s fast-paced environment, individuals or working parents often find it challenging to balance household duties. This is where the services of maid agencies in Singapore prove valuable. Over the years, the number of foreign domestic workers in Singapore has surged from 50,000 in 1990 to over 250,000 in June 2020. Approximately one in five Singapore households now opts for maid assistance in managing household chores, cooking, and overall household care.
As Singapore transitions back to normalcy with the reopening of offices and schools, there’s a growing need for additional support, especially in households with elderly members. This emphasizes the increasing reliance on foreign domestic workers.
Below, we discuss several reasons to consider hiring a maid.
Convenience
One of the primary reasons to enlist the assistance of a maid from Myanmar, Indonesia, or other countries is to alleviate the demands on your time, enabling you to strike a balance between family and work commitments. With an additional set of hands to manage household tasks, you can carve out moments for personal pursuits and remain productive without the burden of household chores.
This arrangement not only provides you with the opportunity to bond with your family, especially if you have young children requiring constant attention, but it also grants you the flexibility to enjoy leisure activities like reading a book or engaging in some well-deserved ‘me’ time on occasions when needed.
Beneficial for households with children or seniors
If you have young children or elderly parents at home, you know that kids tend to leave a mess which you have to clean afterwards. And if you have both in your household, it’s double the work. Hiring a maid for elderly parents or your young child will certainly reduce your workload. Not only that, but maids are also trained to use the right products to clean your house and know how to deal with stubborn stains, giving you a clean and hygienic home. That said, this begs the question of whether you’re permitted to hire more than one maid. Back in the day, when you had more than one maid, it signifies your family’s affluence. But, in today’s context, hiring more than one maid simply means giving your maid the extra help you both need. Well, here’s what you need to know about hiring a second maid.
MOM Regulations:
The process for hiring a second maid closely resembles that of hiring your initial maid. However, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has specific requirements that must be met to hire a second maid. According to MOM, you may be eligible to hire a second maid if you have any of the following family members residing with you:
Additionally, the ministry will assess whether you can provide sufficient sleeping space and privacy in your home for both maids. If you meet these criteria, you must submit a Work Permit application along with the necessary supporting information. It’s important to note that each household is allowed to hire up to two maids.
