Communication Is Key
The biggest problem that most domestic employers face when hiring Maids in Singapore is the language barrier.
Most of the time, conflict happens when the maids misinterpret the instructions given by their employers. They end up doing the wrong things that causes frustrations and build up negative energy within the house. Very likely, this will also lead to the end of the employment relationship depending on which party raises the white flag first.
Communication is key. However, language takes time to master. Here, we teach the basic commonly used household languages. The goal is to ensure, simple instructions can be understood easily.

First time hiring a helper, was a bit lost when to find a good agency. when i come across Island maid (Beo Crescrent Branch) which was near my home. i decided to give a shot. When i step in, was greeting by Mei Hui. she was very nice and friendly. She understood my Stituation, offer a lot of Candidate and let me understand about process of hiring a helper. Due to my mother a bit choosy. She (Mei hui) was very understanding and patient. Even after her working hours, she still replies to my message. After many Canidates. we finally choose one. When we first fetch the helper and bring to my mum ... she was happy with it ... After a few days, my mum and my helper get along very well. She (Mei Hui) does a follow up on my helper Stituation... My family and me are very greatly to her ... We appreciated the efforts she (Mei Hui) shown to us ... We will sure recommend my friend and relative to her who need any helper .. Thank a lot ( Mei hui) (Beo crescents Branch)
