Communication Is Key

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.

Toh York Yen

Hi I would like to give our sincere compliments to Gni from Island Maids in Yishun branch. While we are new in hiring helper, Gni made the process very smoothly and fuss free for us. She provides prompt and reliable advises to us, and we secured our preferred helper eventually. Throughout the hypercare period (the first 2 weeks), Gni provided great help in resolving minor conflicts / communication gaps with the helper. We are very happy with the helper selected as well as the service rendered by Gni.

Jacky Lee

It was our first time hiring a helper and we were clueless. We were served by Seven (at AMK),he explained to us every single detailed properly and ensure we are not stress about anything. He even keep in touch with us after we had our helper to ensure we are coping well.

Shera Elza

In order to employ a domestic maid for my home, I went to AMK Branch Sales Manager Ng Di Shen (Seven). He carefully and thoroughly outlined the selection maid criteria. When we have faced any problem, he assists us extremely professionally by talking to the maid. He always stands with the owner's perspective to assist in problem-solving. After we have hired the maid, Mr. Seven is also a service Oriental to do the follow up with the maid performance. His office phone number is (655) 7703.

Donna Neo

A big thank you to Island Maid AMK branch consultant Shana for recommending Masiroh to our family. It has been almost 1.5 months since Masiroh joined us, and she has been a pleasure addition. A great help in the family with house chores and looking after my parents-in-law in their 80s. We feel reassured having Masiroh look after mother-in-law who needs to go for dialysis treatments, in our absence. Additionally, Shana has just helped us to hire another helper, Putri, to help my own elderly parents. She is just 4 days old at home, but proving herself to be reliable and a great help in the family too. Thank you Shana for taking the time and effort to understand our two families’ needs and recommending Masiroh and Putri respectively. Regards, Joyce
