About 1Apple Placement Agency
1Apple Placement Agency is a domestic helper placement service located at 865 Mountbatten Road, operating islandwide across Singapore. KakiList has verified the provider's operating details and contact channel, though no Google reviews are currently on record and ACRA registration could not be confirmed, so independent verification is advisable before proceeding. No regulatory licence information has been supplied for this listing.
Families considering a foreign domestic worker placement would typically begin by contacting 1Apple through the enquiry form to discuss whether they are looking for a new-hire helper or a transfer helper, as this affects both the placement fee and the timeline. Key points to clarify upfront include source-country preferences (Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka are common options), the helper's expected monthly salary, the applicable MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary for households with a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability), whether mandatory items such as FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, and Work Permit application are bundled into the quoted fee or billed separately, and the replacement guarantee window in the event the placement does not work out.
To take the next step, submit an enquiry via the contact form on the listing and ask 1Apple to provide their MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence number so you can verify it on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit.

Placement fees for a new-hire foreign domestic worker typically run S$1,500–3,500 through Singapore maid agencies; transfer helpers, who are already in Singapore on a valid Work Permit, generally attract a lower placement fee of S$500–1,500. 1Apple's specific fees have not been published in this listing, so request a written breakdown before committing. Beyond the placement fee, budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard or S$60 concessionary), mandatory FDW insurance (approximately S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, and any medical examination or Work Permit application costs. Confirm which of these are bundled and which are charged on top. See the full maid agency cost guide for Singapore →
Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore is required to hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is publicly verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. This listing does not currently include a licence number for 1Apple Placement Agency, so you should request it directly and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies graded A+ or A have stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a dispute arises, and can void the helper's insurance coverage. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
A standard replacement guarantee at Singapore maid agencies covers a defined window — typically six months from the helper's arrival date — within which the agency will source a replacement if the placement does not work out. The number of replacements included, and whether a top-up fee applies from the second replacement onward, varies by agency. Ask 1Apple to specify these terms in writing before signing. Also clarify what voids the guarantee: documented incompatibility or skill mismatch is normally covered, whereas requests based on personal preference alone may not be. Separately, confirm the early-termination process — repatriation flight costs, refund of any unused levy, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork — because these costs fall on the household if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
