We've found all the part time helper services for cleaning, laundry, babysitting and childcare services in Singapore for domestic help when you have no helper!
Not keen on live-in help, and looking for a part time helper? When it comes to juggling work, school runs, homework and a million other daily chores, many of us rely heavily on our right-hand women, AKA our helpers. But what do we do when there is no Aunty around? We say stop trying to keep all those balls in the air and call in the cavalry. Especially if you’ve got a big celebration coming up and need help with spring cleaning! We’ve found temporary cleaners, nannies and babysitting services in Singapore to have on speed dial to help you out.
Can a helper live out?
The short answer is no. If you hire a domestic helper in Singapore and their work permit is under your name, then MOM regulations state that they must reside at your address. A part time helper is only legally available through cleaning or babysitting agencies, who are responsible for the work permits of their employees (the cleaners and babysitters who come to help you). We have compiled a list of house cleaning and babysitting agencies below, and you can check our guide to laundry services and drycleaners for additional home care.
