Hiring a Filipino maid in Singapore: what to expect

Filipino helpers are a popular choice for many Singapore families. Families often shortlist a Filipino maid when clear English communication matters, for example with young children, in a household where English is the main language, or when she will speak with doctors and teachers on the family's behalf. As with every nationality, the individual matters more than the label: experience, temperament and skills differ from one helper to the next, so read each biodata closely.

Communication

Many Filipino helpers list English as a spoken language, alongside Tagalog and often a regional language such as Cebuano or Ilocano. English levels still vary, so treat the interview as your test: ask her to describe her last job, explain how she would handle a situation, or read a short note aloud. Some helpers with Hong Kong, Taiwan or Singapore experience also list Cantonese, Mandarin or Hokkien.

Child care and household experience

Child care is a common strength on Filipino biodata, from newborn care to school-age supervision. Check the ages she has cared for, how many children, and for how long. For household work, look at the size of the homes she has managed and whether she has handled cooking for the family, pets or an older relative as well.

At home, speak clearly, check understanding on anything important, such as medicine doses or school pick-up times, and plan how grandparents who speak mainly Mandarin or a dialect will communicate with her.
