Hi All,

I am currently sourcing for a maid, hopefully to join my household by end of this year (bb due end Jan 2012).

Does anyone of you have a good maid agency to recommend? I've heard lotsa horror stories about bad and irresponsible maid agencies so I'm hoping someone out there has some positive and good agencies to recommend.

Thanks in advance! (^_^)
 


Hi may

I engaged JPB maid agency at katong branch because of this agent, Ling Wan. I like her sincerity in serving . My place is near bukit timah but still go to the east side.
However I do read negative comments on JPB on some website therefore there isn't a perfect agency without complaints. Different ppl has also different expectation.
U can try out my recommendation and feel for yourself if u like her service.
Hope u get a good maid from her

May,

how s your maid hunt? Better to confirm a maid min. 2 mths before u need her to arrive coz it takes time for agency to bring maid in. I took a whole mth to carefully confirm one, which after it take her another 2 more mth to arrive coz of her training in indo. My agent has been a great help .
 
I've used ideal domestic station. Small but good service. Thumbs up! Everything to my doorstep! Mostly Myanmar maids though. I agree we have to get the maids few mth in advance for her to familiarize the household too. Good luck!

If u need contact, pls pm me.

hi

what are your reasons for transferring your maid? I am looking an experience one to look after my 9yr boy.
 
try "super agency " in Far East Shopping Centre. But do negotiate for the salary and days off as they tend to over charge
 
Hi all,

I would like to check why some maid agencies charge more than the others?

The agent I am looking to engage a Filippino wants at least SGD 1500 where according to her includes the insurance, the "escort" fees, medical fees, the MOM registration for work permit etc.

Is there such a need for this huge charges?
 
I have engaged a maid from pem maid agency recently, my maid is from philipine. i was told that rheir maids are infant care train. So far , this maid is very good .
 
I have an indo maid to transfer, she is hardworking, can cook Chinese dishes, have initiative, however she cannot understand English n that's why she is requesting to transfer as she cannot understand my children's need. I told her to take time but she feels to stress to talk to kids. Her salary is $450 without off day, married with 3 kids. Interested parties, pls pm me for further discussion.
 
Please avoid patronize Express Maid Agency in Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. The maids quality are very bad and worst the staff, Ivy Ong is not responsible and very unprofessional. I have wasted almost 1k for using her service less than two months.

Lena

If anyone has any suggestion, feel free to share, thanks!
 
Did not take note of Sharon_Tan message last october. I have confirmed her experience: Don't ever engage Perfect Team Maid Agency.
 
Please avoid Super maid agnecy in far east shopping centre. The owner there is the rudest person around!

I would like to share my personal experience about my agent Nora. my maid has been working with me for 5 years and is into her 3rd contract. 5 years ago Nora was working for Maid Management at Katong shopping centre whom I took my maid from. my maid gave me some problem initially and I wanted to transfer her. She was counseled by Nora and stayed on to work for me for the next 5 years. I bump into Nora recently and she is now with Yue Liang maid agency at Katong shopping centre. Recently, my maid gave me some problem and went to the embassy. I called Nora to seek her advise and she volunteered to help me and even wanted to pick my maid from the embassy. I was too embarrassed to trouble her as I shouldn't even expect this service from her after 5 years what's more, she's already with another agency! I ask her if I could trouble her to counsel my maid after I've picked her up and she immediately agreed without hesitation. I send her to meet Nora and one hour later, there was a sudden change of attitude. My maid was going thru a depression. She had promised Nora that she will finish up her remaining contract without giving me anymore trouble. So far so good and my maid is back to her old self. my maid told me Nora counseled her and even bought her lunch out of her own pocket. Nora is unlike any other agent who only cares about making $. Nora is compassionate and sincere. She is genuinely passionate about helping employers and maids. (FYI, she only take 3 mths commission from the maid unlike other agency that takes up to 8 mths commission.) She could have easily ask me to get a new maid (make $ from me) and ask my maid to get a new employer (make $ from my maid). Instead she counseled and mediate (make nothing out of this). after this incident, I realize it is not the agency that matters, no matter how big or how reputable cos they're not selling products but dealing with humans. more importantly it is the agent who's handling the case that matters. how many agent will even bother to provide after sales service such as counseling after collecting $? forget about 5 years, even 5 mths is difficult! It is indeed my good fortune to have met someone like Nora who's so dedicated and passionate about her work. if you're looking for a maid or have bad experience with other agents, I would strongly recommend Nora. Her mobile no. is 91561699.
 
As a working mother, having a good maid is equivalent to having an extra pair of hands. I am a working mother with 2 school going kids. After completing 2 contracts and moving on to the 3rd, my maid started giving me problems. She started showing very bad attitude, often retaliating, throwing tantrum and scolding the kids, especially after she had a Bangla boyfriend. I was very determine to get rid of her but not until I find myself another good maid.
I’ve heard of Nora’s (Yue Liang Maid Agency) good reputation and decided to make an appointment to see her. She is located at Katong Shopping Centre which is pretty far from where I live. The first impression is that her office is simple, no frills with no maids sitting around unlike other agencies. I told Nora about my requirement, working parents with 2 school going kids, most of the time, the maid is alone at home or with kids when they are back from school. Nora showed me folders of biodatas of her maids. Surprisingly she told me she can’t be sure if any will fit my requirement. I was wondering if she was even interested to do a sale! She told me she will be going to Jakarta personally to meet the maids in 2 weeks time and ask if I can wait. I decided to wait.
After 2 weeks, Nora came back and told me there was no suitable maid for me. This time I was very disappointed and begin to doubt her ability. She told me I could look for another agent if I’m in a hurry as she needed more time to look for a suitable maid. Somehow I decided to stuck on with her. I do keep in contact with her for updates every now and then.
6 weeks later, she finally called me to tell me she found me a suitable maid! I decided to trust her instinct and go for her recommendation. My current maid is from Myammar. So far, she has met my expectations and I’m very happy.
Looking back, I am glad to have stuck on to my decision to put on trust on Nora although I must admit, I did waver somewhat when she failed to deliver initially. I have heard so many horror stories from my friends on the quality of maids in Singapore these days. All the good maids have left to work in HK and Taiwan as they get paid higher as these countries do not have to pay levy. In Singapore, although employers pay more overall (salary + levy), we get the worst quality maids due to our uncompetitive salary (excluding levy). Good quality maids are so hard to come by these days and I am truly appreciative of Nora for her commitment and effort.
My previous maid wasn’t easy to handle and she started to create a big commotion after she knew she was leaving. Nora arrange for her runner to handle this and everything was handled very well. He even took a picture of my previous maid clearing the customs.
The most unbelievable thing is that Nora charges 50% below market rate but she gives 100% above market service!
Finally when I ask her how come there are no maids sitting around her office. Her answer to me is that with her, very few employers change their maids…..now I finally know the reason!
Nora’s contact no. is 91561699
 
I got my maid from EELIT Placement. The lady who served me is Sherly. I think she is the owner of the agency cause she is very confident answering my request. My brothers got their maids from her agency after i tried her service and are happy with her. So far recommended a few friends to her as well... no complains heard so far. :) you can contact her at 82227346.
 
Hi mummies, my last maid was from Sin Yuan (bukit timah).
Peh Ling the lady was responsible and patient when I called her regarding issues with my last maid. She tired to talk sense with the maid and did not avoid taking my calls. But too bad, my maid was cunning and too daring to be kept at home in the long run.
 
Dear sportygal007 & mrs a lee, TQ for your highly recommendation for Nora’s (Yue Liang Maid Agency) @ Katong, her service is damn superb. Nora is compassionate and sincere in regards with helping employers to find a suitable maid which requires to their needs. Seriously, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED her service to all readers.

tks is there any free replacement as her agent fee is not cheap and same as others. She is a Malay right and i wonder will she side those malay maid due to race.
 
I set her off after caught her bring in boyfriend to my home. Unexceptable as She was informed in both language that no friend to my home without me around.
 
Just a warning to those who saw the posting dated apr and aug 2013, thinking yue liang Nora is "Superb" and can be at ease to engage her searching maid for you...you can be superbly wrong just like me. I am now thinking if I should pursue CASE and log a complaint with MOM for all the horrible nightmares I have encountered from her end. I do not want to write too much here, in any case people might think that I am industry competitor. My objective is to rely message to innocent people out there that she is not that superb as what it has mentioned in this forum. DO NOT be FOOLED just like me.
 


I agree with What?!

Her demerit points have hit 16 already!
I got my maid from her and she did help me counsel the maid but eventually I requested to return the maid. She asked to help the maid transfer to another employer and I gave her time. 3 months to get back my refund for the maid loan and till now I am still chasing her to issue the permit under a new employer!
