Why does my domestic helper always seem tired?

Having a full-time maid can significantly benefit a household. Maid services in Singapore provide a reliable solution for busy employers, especially in families with young children or elderly members. As your helper becomes familiar with the household chores and routines over time, she may even handle tasks independently.

However, it’s crucial to periodically review the helper’s schedule to ensure her well-being. If your helper frequently seems fatigued, it’s important to investigate. Unfortunately, domestic helpers are often vulnerable to overwork. Those balancing caregiving duties with household chores may work an average of 14.5 hours daily. This can lead to physical ailments like headaches and body aches, as well as emotional exhaustion, reducing their ability to focus and perform effectively.

For your helper to perform her duties optimally, she must be adequately rested. We recommend regulating her work and rest hours, considering the nature of her caregiving responsibilities and implementing shifts accordingly. This approach ensures better safety and care for your loved ones. You can create a schedule yourself or seek guidance from your agency for an effective solution.

At Your Maid Agency, we prioritize the needs of our clients and their helpers, providing support in any employment-related situation.
