Any of the Singapore gang got a part time maid that they recommend (East Coast)?

We're looking to get someone in 3 days a week for 5 hours a time (3 hours cleaning, 2 hours baby sitting) - if you know if anyone who is trustworthy and has capacity, please drop me a PM! smile

Sorry, been AWOL with work .... best i can suggest is (if you are in central) have a look on the notice board at Jasons in Tanglin, or have a chat with a few of your neighbors who may have a good referral, generally someone working as an independent cleaner rather than a live in maid will like to stick to one condo as easier for traveling.

Be careful, hiring a FDW without the right permits is not legal.
Even if you hire a Singaporean or PR you need to pay them CPF..

Correct on the FDW work permits - if on a Maids visa they are not (officially) allowed to work anywhere other then the registered address of their visa.

For Singaporean / PR if it is someone working freelance to multiple clients then they are deemed "sole proprieter" and are responsible for their own CPF / Medisave.
