Every legitimate agency holds an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence — verifiable on MOM's online EA directory. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, invoices, and contract. Unlicensed agents operating in Toa Payoh is illegal and uninsurable — hiring through one leaves you with no recourse if the helper runs away or the agency folds.
Agency fee (S\$1,500-3,500) + MOM monthly levy (S\$60 concessionary or S\$300 standard) + helper monthly salary (S\$500-900) + insurance (S\$250-500/year) + medical exam and SIP (S\$150-200). Total first-6-months cost: S\$9,000-18,000 depending on helper source country. HDB property type affects living arrangements but not direct fees.
MOM publishes EA Grading (A+ to C) based on placement volume, dispute rates, and training compliance. Grade A+ agencies handle higher volumes with stricter internal standards. Grade C agencies are smaller or have recent infringements. Grade B and above is the reasonable baseline; Grade C warrants additional scrutiny.
Standard industry practice is 1-3 free replacements within 6 months if the helper turns out unsuitable. Agencies with vague or short guarantees ("1 month only") either lack confidence in their vetting or push cheaper placements. For first-time employers especially, insist on at least 6-month guarantee with 2+ replacements.
Filipino helpers generally have stronger English and formal training backgrounds (agency fees S\$2,000-3,500). Indonesian helpers are typically more affordable (S\$1,800-3,000) with good cooking and cultural fit for many Singapore households. Myanmar helpers have grown in availability (S\$1,500-2,800) and often have strong work ethic. The right source depends on your household needs — a good agency discusses trade-offs rather than pushing one.
