Myanmar maid agency fees in Singapore generally range from S$800 to S$1,500, depending on the services included.

Expect an all-in monthly cost of roughly S$1,000 to S$1,500. This covers the helper's salary of S$500 to S$800, plus another S$500 to S$700 for her food, transport such as an EZ-Link card and other living expenses. Upfront costs at the start of the placement typically run S$2,000 to S$5,000 or more.

Yes, but you rarely pay the S$5,000 bond in cash. It is almost always covered by the helper's insurance as a Letter of Guarantee, so you do not have to put down the S$5,000 yourself. You still pay the monthly maid levy of S$300, or S$60 if you qualify for the concession, plus mandatory FDW insurance.
Yes. Myanmar helpers are widely valued in Singapore for being gentle, patient and well-suited to elderly care and young children. A good agency matches by temperament and experience, and the Settling-In Programme (around S$75) helps first-timers adjust to local households.
