Having a Part Time maid gives one the freedom
and the hassle of a maid staying with you at
home. But most importantly you can trust them to
finish their job effective and efficiently even
though you are not at home. The part time maid
just comes in and cleans your place that you
wish to. They will be right at your door steps
when you need them to come and as frequent as
you want them to come. Yet you are able to enjoy
freedom of privacy without having the maid to
stay at your place. There is totally no invasion
of privacy if you are the type that likes to
have your own privacy, part time maid will be
your best solution!
It is advisable to seek help from profession
house cleaning company, as they will do a
background check on their cleaners. It is
illegal to hire foreign workers, "freelance
part-time cleaner" for maid service in
Singapore. Always check for work permit before
allowing a domestic cleaner to enter your place.
Never trust part time maid agency who claims
their maids are the best and all their cleaners
are holding work permit, always do a check.
Singapore Part Time Cleaning Services has
got some PRC & Pilipino cleaners which are
holding legal work permits in Singapore.
Thinking of cleaning up your home or office?
Professional house cleaning company knows the
steps and how to clean your environment with
devotion and attention, providing you with a
hassle-free experience. They will provide legal
cleaners right to your doorsteps subject to your
availability. They offer a wide range of
services to help to maintain your environment,
from taking care of general house cleaning to
simple necessities such as ironing, cleaning of
windows and etc. to ensure cleanliness and
hygiene. If you are unhappy with the maid,
companies allow you to change the maid for the
next sessions, with or without charges and
limits of changing depending on company's
policy. Leave it to them; they will surprisingly
transform your area into pinnacle of comfortable
cleanliness.
Having a full time maid could be an advantage or
disadvantage. Having a full time maid might not
be your ideal choice. If you are about to engage
a full time maid, you might be worried whether
you can trust the maid to be at home by herself.
Her behaviour might not be acceptable as in she
might be in a love relationship without you or
your family, etc. knowing and who knows? She
might even be pregnant after a period of time.
You will also be responsible to provide her with
3 meals a day and all her basic necessities. At
times if you felt that you do not trust your
maid anymore because her behaviour is getting
worse, you want wish to change maid, but the
process is a hassle. Having a good full time
maid is important but not all full time maids
are bad. There are quite good ones as well.
Conclusion, whether part time
maid or full time time is your ultimate choice,
we should all treat each and everyone with
respect. Learn to live in harmony with your
maid. Give them your best and they will return
you with their best too!
Who is Responsible for Domestic Workers?
Here in Singapore, engaging the
assistance of a domestic helper
is not unheard of. According to
an online article published by
AsiaOne in 2010, one in every
seven Singaporean households has
a helper. The Labour Force
Report by the Ministry of
Manpower (MOM) also stated that
Singapore has the third highest
number of Foreign Domestic
Workers (FDW), with a majority
of them hailing from Indonesia
or the Philippines. The primary
reason behind this increasing
employment rate is apparently
the steady increase in the
number of women who are
joining-or rejoining-the
workforce in Singapore.
The tasks performed by these
domestic helpers vary in nature;
they include taking care of the
employer's home, children and
elderly parents. Some are even
entrusted with kitchen duties.
While their usefulness is
evident, it cannot be denied
that there have been reports of
undesirable behaviour displayed
by these workers. One of them
was arrested for stealing a sum
as hefty as S$26,418 from a
previous employer, while another
was charged for the bizarre
crime of adding menstrual blood
into her employer's drink.
Who then, becomes responsible
for the crimes committed by the
domestic worker? Is it the
employer or the cleaning company
that represents them? The answer
lies in the contract that has
been drafted by the company.
Domestic helpers-local or
foreign-are not covered by the
Employment Act, which stipulates
the conditions of service, such
as the mandatory number of
working hours and rest days.
This is because regulating
specific aspects of domestic
work is not practical. For
instance, it is difficult to
compute overtime payments for
domestic workers as defining
what constitutes work or free
time is virtually impossible,
regardless of whether the helper
works full-time or part-time.
Thus, MOM has encouraged
employers and the FDW to enter
into a written contract, after
they have successfully applied
for mandatory Work Permit which
is valid for two years. The
cleaning company would then be
responsible for drafting
mutually agreeable contracts for
the two parties involved, in
order to avoid any conflicts in
interest. In an undesirable
situation where there is an
employment problem or breach of
contract by the employer, the
domestic helper has the right to
lodge a complaint or file a
claim with MOM. MOM will then be
compelled to contact the
employer and arrange for a
meeting between the parties
involved to resolve the dispute.
This conciliation service is
offered pro-bono.
However, if the FDW was the
wrongdoer and the employer feels
that the crime which had been
committed is too heavy to be
disregarded or resolved in a
diplomatic manner, he/she can
choose to terminate the domestic
worker's services. To do so, the
employer needs to ensure that
all matters pertaining to the
worker's employment, such as
outstanding wages or
compensation claims, have been
properly settled before the
cancellation of the Work Permit.
Additionally, reasonable notice
of the inevitable repatriation
to the worker's home country
must also be given, with the
full cost of it to be beared by
the employer.

We are moving our house from Tembeling Road
to Flora Drive and was given an onsite quote. We
took up their moving service and found out that
they are also doing painting, curtain, aircon
servicing and other home services. We are on a
contract basis with their part time maid service
and also took up their aircon servicing for
yearly package. We are very pleased with their
service. Highly recommended.
