Finding a maid for elderly care in Singapore
Caring for an older family member is one of the most personal roles a helper can take on, so it pays to read biodata closely. On SmartMaid, each biodata separates two things:
- Experience means the helper has actually cared for an older person before, in Singapore, abroad or with her own family. This page shows these helpers by default.
- Willing means she is open to elderly care but may not have done it yet. A willing helper can be a good choice for light support and companionship, especially if you can train her.
A good domestic helper for elderly care combines patience, physical confidence and calm judgement. The biodata tells you where she has been; the interview tells you how she thinks.
Helpers with elderly-care experience by nationality
Helpers from several nationalities list elderly-care experience on SmartMaid. The counts below are live and show helpers with actual experience:
| Nationality | With elderly-care experience | Browse |
|---|---|---|
| Myanmar | 1,308 | Myanmar maids · Myanmar elderly care maids |
| Indonesian | 812 | Indonesian maids · Indonesian elderly care maids |
| Filipino | 25 | Filipino maids · Filipino elderly care maids |
| Cambodian | 13 | Cambodian maids |
| Indian | 13 | Indian maids · Indian elderly care maids |
Nationality is only a starting filter. Language matters more for daily care: a grandparent who speaks mainly Mandarin, Hokkien or Malay will be more comfortable with a helper who can follow simple conversation. Check the languages on each biodata and test them in the interview.

Elderly care maid FAQ
What should I look for in a maid for elderly care?
Look for real elderly-care experience that matches your loved one's needs, such as mobility support, medication reminders or dementia care, plus patience, calm judgement and a language your family member understands. Read the biodata details, then test them in the interview with specific questions about her past caregiving.
How do I find a helper with real elderly-care experience on SmartMaid?

Add filters for nationality, language or transfer status, then open each biodata to read the caregiving details, such as mobility support or dementia care, before you enquire with the agency that listed her.
What is the difference between "experience" and "willing" for elderly care on a biodata?
"Experience" means the helper has actually cared for an older person before. "Willing" means she is open to the role but may not have done it yet. Right now 4,756 helpers are willing, and 2,172 of them have experience. Use the toggle above the results to switch between the two.
Can an elderly-care maid also handle household chores?
Often, yes, when the older person is fairly independent. Caregiving takes time and energy, so list priorities in order, agree on what comes first, and review the workload after the first month. For high-care needs, keep chores light so care always comes first.
Are there levy concessions or support schemes when hiring a helper for an elderly family member?
There may be. MOM and AIC publish the current schemes, including any levy concessions and caregiver support, together with eligibility rules. Check their websites for the latest details, and ask your agency to explain which steps apply to your household.
Can a helper look after someone with dementia or limited mobility?
Many helpers have cared for older adults with dementia or limited mobility. Look for that specific experience on the biodata and ask for examples in the interview. Ask the care team to show her safe transfers or routines, and agree when she should call you. For medical tasks, speak to your loved one's care team.

Helpers with elderly-care experience on SmartMaid right now include 1,308 Myanmar, 812 Indonesian, 25 Filipino, 13 Cambodian and 13 Indian helpers, and these figures update live.

Yes. Right now 30 helpers with elderly-care experience are transfers already working in Singapore.
