Prepare for a useful consultation

Information to gather before you contact us.

Household and care needs

Describe every household member, infant or elderly-care routine, mobility consideration, pet, cooking requirement and sleeping arrangement that affects the role.

Skills you can teach

Separate essential prior experience from tasks your family can demonstrate patiently. This creates a more realistic shortlist and a fairer interview.

Timeline and budget context

Share when support is needed and ask for the complete itemised quotation. The agency service fee is only one part of the overall employment cost.

Typical journey

What happens next.

Preparation

Confirm the selected helper

The employer confirms the selected helper after interview. The consultant checks passport readiness, source-country requirements and the information needed for the application.

Application

Complete documents and applications

Contracts, Work Permit steps, insurance and applicable overseas or embassy processing are completed in the correct sequence. Missing documents can extend the timeline.

Placement

Coordinate travel and arrival requirements

Once the required approvals and documents are ready, travel and any applicable arrival, programme or registration arrangements are coordinated.

After-placement support

Welcome and hand over the helper

After the required Singapore steps are completed, Jans Maid & Employment Agency coordinates the agreed handover or doorstep home sending.

Important to understand

Clear expectations before confirmation.

  • A fixed service fee applies to fresh MDW applications; select the service-fee panel on our Costs & Fees page to view it.
  • It is not the total cost; mandatory, placement-related and third-party amounts can also apply.
  • Final terms are governed by the signed service agreement and itemised quotation.
Common questions

What employers usually ask.

These general answers help you prepare. Your consultant will confirm the position for your specific application.

How is a fresh-helper shortlist prepared?

The consultant starts with the household brief, then reviews current approved biodata for relevant experience, communication and stated preferences. Profiles should still be assessed through an interview.

Can a profile guarantee suitability?

No. Biodata is a starting point, not a guarantee. Employers should discuss the real duties, ask practical questions and allow the helper to understand the household before deciding.

How soon can a fresh helper arrive after confirmation?

A fresh helper may take approximately two weeks to one month to arrive after confirmation when the required documents are ready. Timing varies by source country, passport readiness, Work Permit and overseas processing, travel and other case-specific requirements. Employers should begin preparing early and treat the consultant's estimate as guidance rather than a guaranteed arrival date.

Check the current rules

Use official guidance for regulatory requirements.

Processes and requirements can change. Jans Maid & Employment Agency explains how they may apply to your case, while the Ministry of Manpower remains the authoritative source for Work Permit and employer obligations.
