Transfer maids, having recent experience in Singapore households, typically require less supervision and are likely well-acquainted with the culture and lifestyle in Singapore. Being employed in Singapore, they may have picked up basic English or Mandarin. These are traits which may facilitate a more seamless integration into your home and smoother communication as compared to new maids.
In most instances, transfer helpers can commence work within 3 to 4 working days once the change of employer has been approved by MOM.
Depending on the duration and nature of domestic work of their past employment in Singapore, transfer maids may request higher salaries compared to new hires. Due to the shorter turnaround of local paperwork, transfer maids are often higher in demand resulting in a limited pool being available.
