SearchMaid is a free platform where you compare maid Singapore profiles from MOM-licensed maid agencies in one place. Browse listings from every maid agency Singapore has on the platform, instead of contacting agencies one by one, and shortlist before you commit.
Today the platform lists 2,000+ updated helper profiles from 200+ licensed maid agencies across Singapore. Every profile can be filtered by nationality, experience, and language, and most come with a short video introduction of the helper, so you get a real sense of who she is before you reach out. Once you've shortlisted a few, you contact the agency directly to arrange an interview and take it from there, on your own time and at no cost to you. Agencies pay to list on SearchMaid, employers never do. Every agency listed holds a valid MOM Employment Agency licence, so whether you're comparing one domestic helper agency in Singapore or several, you always know who you're dealing with.

Hiring a maid in Singapore on SearchMaid takes three simple steps, and you stay in control at every stage.
Once you decide to hire a maid in Singapore through SearchMaid, the agency you contact handles the MOM side for you: the work permit application, the security bond and insurance MOM requires, and her medical examination before she starts. You always know who is responsible for what at each stage.
Most employers start their search by nationality. Each nationality has its own hub with current profiles, typical costs, and hiring notes for that group of domestic helpers, so you can go straight to the nationality you're considering instead of scrolling through every profile on the site. If you need someone who can start quickly, browse our transfer maid hub for helpers already in Singapore and ready to move to a new employer. Salaries and processing steps differ by nationality because each home country sets its own rules for its helpers, so start with the group that fits your household and budget.
