DIRECT HIRING OF YOUR OWN HELPER

If you have identified a suitable helper to hire, EELIT can assist you with the necessary paperwork and ensure a trustworthy and legal process of bringing the helper into Singapore, saving you valuable time and avoiding complications.

It is not advisable to attempt hiring a helper without the help of a maid agency, as this may result in higher costs or the helper not being able to come at all. The cost of direct hiring on your own is often comparable to hiring through a maid agency, and some customers who have attempted direct hiring have even ended up spending more.

It is important to note that without an agent, you may encounter difficulties in processing the necessary paperwork for helpers from the Philippines or Indonesia, and there may not be a binding contract between yourself and the helper. Taking such risks is not recommended, and it is advisable to rely on the expertise and support of a reputable maid agency like EELIT.
