Hire an Experienced Transfer Maid
Looking for a helper who's already experienced working in Singapore? We help you find, vet, and transfer a helper smoothly, with the MOM paperwork fully handled.
A helper switching employers, not a first-time hire
A "transfer maid" refers to a domestic helper who is currently working in Singapore under a valid work permit and is moving to a new employer, as opposed to a "fresh" helper being hired from overseas for the first time. This is different from bringing in a new helper; it involves a work permit transfer process with MOM rather than a first-time application.
Many families prefer transfer maids because they come with prior local experience. That said, every situation is different, and we always help you understand a candidate's background before you decide.
For a deeper comparison and a checklist before you decide, see our Transfer Maid Hiring Guide.
The practical advantages
Already Experienced in Singapore Households
Transfer maids have already adapted to Singapore's household norms, cooking styles, and working environment, with less adjustment time than a first-time helper.
Faster Start
Since a transfer maid is already in Singapore, there's no overseas recruitment or flight arrangement needed, which can shorten the time to your helper's first day.
Track Record You Can Review
We share relevant work history and experience so you know what kind of household and duties the helper has handled before.
