With easier communication from the onset, many Singaporean families choose to hire a maid from Philippines as it is believed that they can speak basic English, to easier understand and familiarise swiftly with Singaporean employers’ home care needs.
In addition, due to the warm nature of the culture of Philippines, Filipino maids remain a top choice, with many employers choosing a Filipino migrant domestic worker to care for infants or children. Their friendly disposition and warm nature also eases them more easily into their caregiving role.
Thirdly, a lot of Filipino Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) are known to be more willing to provide care to infants and children. Their ability to converse well with children is also have believed to help younger children take to them more quickly and easily.
All maids from the Philippines have to go through nationalised basic training from their country before their arrival in Singapore.
