Hire Transfer Maids in Singapore – Experienced & Ready to Work

A transfer maid is a domestic helper who is already working in Singapore with a valid work permit. Hiring a transfer maid allows you to skip overseas processing, speeding up the time which the helper can commence working at your household and benefit from a helper who already has prior experience and familiarity with Singaporean households.

Not at all. It’s a common misconception. Transfer maids may become available for many reasons, such as:

• Completing a 2-year contract
• The children they cared for are now independent or in school
• Elderly family members have passed away
• The employer is downsizing or migrating

In these situations, the helper may choose to continue working in Singapore. Those who continue are called transfer helpers, while those who return home are referred to as Ex-Singapore helpers. Being a transfer maid does not always reflect on the helper’s skills or quality.

HELPERLY carefully screens all transfer maids, reviewing their work history, references, and skills. We also provide guidance to employers on matching the right helper based on experience, household requirements, and language abilities.

When available, we can share photos of meals the helper has cooked and reference letters from previous employers to showcase their performance and reliability.

Generally, yes. Since transfer maids are already in Singapore, you avoid overseas placement fees. You also save on transportation, medical tests, and thumbprinting services, making the overall cost more predictable and affordable while still receiving HELPERLY’s full administrative support.

Yes. HELPERLY provides transfer maids with a variety of skills, languages, and religious backgrounds. Whether you need experience in newborn care, childcare, eldercare, or pet care, or prefer a Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist helper, we can match a suitable candidate. Note:

However, do note that the pool of transfer maids are often smaller than overseas or Ex-Singapore helpers. If you have many requirements, we also recommend considering Ex-Singapore helpers, as this provides a larger selection and greater flexibility.
