About part-time maid agencies in Singapore:
You might view the rise in the demand for maids as the result of the industrialization of society and strides forward in the feminist movement in putting women in office jobs.
The utilitarian philosopher J.S Mill has argued that the purpose of women’s life and its very culmination and end was marriage.
With significant progress made in the women’s movement, females are not mere objects relegated to a domestic sphere as was the case in the past. This is not the case today.
Increasingly women are seeing beyond the trap of domesticity and marriage and even those who do make the choice of marriage are not confined to domesticity with the advent of domestic helpers.
Women are increasingly as active in their careers and financially independent as men. Indeed, there are cases in which women are the breadwinners for their family rather than the men.
While it is true that there is some subordination in marriage as men and the traditional heads of the household, it is also the case women are becoming more financially independent and autonomous.
In the past with limited opportunities for finding work it was the case that marriage was the purpose in life for women to find themselves financial supporters and breadwinners.
Today, however, this is not the case. Progress in the women’s rights movement have seen the increasing visibility of women in workplaces and indeed the dominance of women in certain industries such as education and fashion.
As women rise in the corporate world, they require assistance to balance domestic housekeeping tasks.
Hence, the need arises to hire part-time maids from agencies.

Hiring a Part Time Maid: Is it cost-cutting?
Anxious about budgets? Engaging a part-time cleaner or maid over 4-hours usually amounts to $272 a month, relative to $500 to $800 a month to hire full-time maids.
Searching for less costly options? Part-time maids usually charge lower fees but are potentially less safe.
Fretting over privacy? The part-time maids immediately depart upon completion of assigned tasks.
Frustrated with hired freelancer? Just engage another maid, or seek for a substitute if you have called an agency.
Finally? A part-time maid or cleaner is more pragmatic for starting families. For bigger families, one might seek to ponder engage full-time cleaning.
Why Engage a Part-Time Maid?
Thoroughly Tidied House
A random sharing with close neighbours revealed that engaging part-time maid cleaning is rapidly emerging as convention with Singaporean households. Particularly junior, young families. The reason:
Full charges for engaging each part-time made is cost-cutting in contrast to engaging a full-time helper (excludes necessity for footing the $300 monthly levy on foreign maids)
The part-time helper could be engaged for tidying as regularly or just upon occasional need
The part-time cleaner will leave once the job is done so you may enjoy your privacy
The part-time helper could be substituted upon need, without incurring additional costs, if you are not happy with your engaged maid
Just to conclude, it fully makes economic sense eventually. Considering, who does not desire dispensing with the tedium/ boredom of household chores to spend time on more fun activity?
Does Engaging A Part-Time Maid Cost Less?
If one engages a part-time helper to perform a 4-hour tidying of my 4-room flat each week, one could end up footing about $272 each month – without a compulsory registration or agent fee.
This is in contrast to engaging a full-time helper, that might amount to around $500 to $800 a month. Yet, leaving out maid insurance, compulsory levies, medical exams etc.
How Does a Part-Time Cleaner Assist with House-Keeping And What Charges are Usually Incurred?
Finally generalizing, part-time maid cleaning could be engaged upon ad hoc occasions or more often, on a fixed rotating interval (e.g. weekly or biweekly). Every cleaning lasts around 3 to 4 hours to let the maid fulfil the assigned tidying work. This regularly covers vacuuming, mopping or dusting, scrubbing clean of kitchen tables, scrubbing of toilets, and tidying of bedrooms. Laundry or ironing are usually billed distinctly and surplus billings could register for individual assignments like washing of ceiling fans or scrubbing of window-sills.
Usually, cleaning rates are about $20 per hour in intervals of 3 or 4 hours; $60 to $80 a week or $240 to $320 a month for weekly housekeeping.
Should One Engage A Professional Cleaning/ Housekeeping Service, Part-Time Maid Agency Or Freelance Helper?
There are three regular avenues to seek part-time cleaning for your family cleaning necessities: 1. A professional maid or cleaning agency, 2. A part-time maid agency or 3. A freelance helper.
Specialized housekeeping or maid services function on a business operation and contain a reserve of professionally trained cleaners at hand to engage for ad-hoc cleaning. The helpers are paid workers and are professionally trained or certified. This implies that one could foresee that one’s cleaning timetable will not experience hiccups even if your usual helper gets sick. They could even offer deep cleaning services for a more extended season, which covers occasional rental inspections or upon one’s shifting in or out. In sum, professional cleaning services cost marginally more but tend towards greater professionalism, standards.
Certain professional cleaning service providers include:
HomeFresh ($320 per month for 1x per week, 4 hour session, $20 per hr)
NTUC Domestic Cleaning Service, ($330 per month for 1x per week, 4 hour weekend session)
HomeCleanz ($350 per month for 1x per week, 3 bedroom condo or 4-room/ 5-room HDB)
AuntieClean ($427 per month for 1x per week, 4 hour session)
Rooma ($428 per month for 1x per week, 4 hour session)
A part-time helper agency functions on a platform mode and connects potential clients with freelance helpers. The agency screens the maids and could offer training coverage. Certain agencies bill an extra agency charge in addition to the cleaner’s hourly fee. Varying with varied agencies, this could exclude provisions for substitute helpers on call in the event of a no show case. Yet, resembling dating agencies, a part-time maid agency affords you more selection choices on your desired part-time maid/ cleaner and more flexibility in scheduling a cleaning.
Some part-time maid agencies include:
- Helpling
- Sendhelper
- HelperGo
- A-team Amahs & Cleaners
- DomesticOne
Freelance maids are more difficult to engage; you usually locate them by chance. They could include the neighbourhood granny looking for pocket money or the random housewife/ bored mother who has time available for odd jobs. As such cases are not confined under agency/ company regulations, they could be happy to pile on extra jobs inclusive of cooking or babysitting. Yet, you might also be burdened with the odds of them not turning up due to random clashes. Further, foreign freelance helpers could be not hired within legal bounds, as they work on social visit passes, not traditional work permits.
One could attempt seeking for freelance helpers via platforms including Carousell or Gumtree or request via your casual granny circle.
Part-Time Cleaners Enable You To Randomly Re-Assign The Housekeeping Tasks
According to your cleaning demands, it could be cost-cutting to ponder engaging a part-time cleaner if it is within your budget and you desire to free up time for hobbies instead of tidying personally.
Also, if you are confined by house-size, you could be not entitled to engaging a full-time, live-in maid. In contrast to a full-time maid, engaging a part-time maid could cut costs while letting you to maintain your space within home.
Fees for engaging a full-time, live-in maid: $906 per month or $1,146 per month, with no surplus levy
Fees for engaging a part-time cleaner to tidy once a week for 4 hours each time: $320 to $430 per month
Trends for part-time maid agencies in Singapore:
If you hire a part-time cleaner to do a 4-hour clean-up of your home every week, you will likely pay about $260 monthly. That is significantly lower than the salary of a full-time maid, which is around $500 to $750 monthly.
However, a full-time maid will be able to be a caregiver to kids and elderly, cook meals and basically be around the home constantly to aid, give support 24/7, every day. For households that need that kind of help, it makes sense to hire a maid full time.
However, for those who just need occasional help cleaning, a part-time cleaner is prudent.
You might however have the occasional emergency that requires aid, attention and it is provision for such contingencies, emergencies that makes a full-time maid hire necessary.
In addition, if you are sharing your apartment/ house with several people (e.g. you are renting out a room in your flat to a tenant, or you live with some house mates) you can divide the bills for cleaning service.
If you take an overseas break or decide to clean up after yourself, you can always save money by missing the cleaning service for a week or two.
Sample costs of hiring a part-time maid in Singapore:
Rates for part time maid range from $20 an hour weekly/ fortnightly, to $28 an hour for a one-off cleaning.
The market rate for part-time cleaners is about $80 to $90 for blocks of 4-hours, or $16 to $25 per hour.
Cleaners charging an hourly charge will usually impose a minimum number of hours (usually 2-4 hours) per visit.
Usually, you should expect to pay at least $32 to $64 per visit.
Benefits of part-time maid agencies in Singapore:
While maid agency rates might be slightly higher than those charged by independent cleaners, agency hires also tend to be significantly more reliable in the sense that they will guarantee a booking for a maid.
If the cleaner is unable to make it, the agency will arrange a replacement cleaner to do the job.
You can also opt to choose a different cleaner to suit your needs, temperament.
Agencies also screen, vet maids and guarantee a certain standard of service in contrast to those hired independently or though random advertising on billboards, ecommerce sites.
