We created our Top 8 Maid Agencies in Singapore post for exactly this reason. We know its hard to find a great maid so we hope it helps. If you have any feedback please let us know!
BEWARE!!! I received a transfer maid from Nanyang Employment Services Pte Ltd and to my horror and dismay, she brought in bed bugs into my home! It has truly been a nightmare because the bed bugs infested and spread to all 3 bedrooms. They bite us all and our children and the bites are many and unbearably itchy. Bites can be in clusters or straight lines. A hundred times worse than mosquitoes bites. No medicinal cream can relieve the itch and my boys scratch until skin bled. We have no choice but to engage pest controllers which cost almost to $1000 and thrown many belongings worth more than $1000 as well which were infested by bed bugs. We had many sleepless nights and the bed bugs have turned our house and lives upside down! Please be very careful when you hire maids because one female bed bug can lay 500 eggs in their lifetime. Maids unknowingly bring with them unwanted pests....most likely from the agency lodging Only responsible agencies would take measures to prevent and control bed bug infestations.
