Core values that protect employers and give dignity to maids in Singapore.
We comply fully with all of Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM) rules and regulations on maids. We believe in full transparency. We protect the interest of both employers and maids in Singapore. Where rules and contracts are unclear or ambiguous, we choose to interpret them in favour of employers and maids in Singapore. We treat all maids - Myanmar maids, Filipina maids, Indonesian maids, Cambodian maids - firmly yet with respect. We make every effort to ensure that all maids receive fair treatment and enjoy a safe working environment. The founder noticed that women were the standard bearers in taking care of the family during his travels. When things became untenable, many had to make sacrifices by becoming maids overseas or by sending their daughters to work as maids overseas to support the family. In many instances they risk being the victims of exploitation and human trafficking rings.
