About Able Best Employment Agency
Able Best Employment Agency is a domestic helper placement agency based in Holland Avenue, covering all areas of Singapore. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered, with 4.8 out of 5 across 123 Google reviews — a robust sample that suggests consistent client satisfaction. Pricing is indicated at mid-range ($$), though exact placement fees should be confirmed directly with the agency.
When engaging a maid agency, the key steps are to confirm the MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence number — verifiable on MOM's online EA directory — before paying any deposit, and to understand whether you are placing a new hire or a transfer helper, as placement fees differ significantly (new hire typically S$1,500–3,500; transfer typically S$500–1,500). You will also need to 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 if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability), mandatory FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, and Work Permit application costs. Source-country options typically include Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Clarify whether these items are bundled into the package or billed separately, and ask about the replacement guarantee window and what triggers it.
To get started, contact Able Best Employment Agency via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to discuss your household profile, preferred helper nationality, and whether you are looking for a new hire or a transfer — then request a written breakdown of all fees before proceeding.

Reny has been most helpful and professional in first, helping us in engaging a FDW from an independent training institution in Myanmar and subsequently, in assisting us with a replacement. Will definitely recommended Able Best to those who are looking to engage a FDW.

Engage my helper from Able Best last year Jul. This is a delayed review as I wanted to monitor the agency response if there is any problem with my helper after engaging her. Reny from Able Best served us. She was patient to answer a lot of questions as we were first time employer trying to employ a suitable helper to take care of young kids and household chores. I had also several requirements to fulfill. That time, we were still hesitant to hire a helper and she guided us through the demographics of different helpers nationalities. A supportive and responsive agent who will guide you along the process. I have recommended a couple of friends to get their helper from Able Best.

Finding a trustworthy & hardworking domestic helper can be challenging, but Able Best made it so easy. I engaged the first helper for my mother & the process was smooth & hassle-free as she was a Filipino transferred helper. The second helper from Myanmar for my MIL took a longer process as she had to fly in. But that is the standard protocol. For both cases, they were well-handed by Yani. She is very responsive & patient in hearing our needs & finding the best match for us. The helpers are well-trained, responsible & efficient too. Overall, I am truly grateful for their wonderful service ♡♡

Reny was quick and attentive to our needs and we managed to secure a brilliant transfer helper within 2 months. A knowledgeable agency with a good pool of helpers! All our questions were answered with experience and the entire process of securing a helper was smooth and painless, especially for first time employers. Our life is definitely so much better with our new helper who is so good with my 9 month old baby! Give them a try if you’re looking for a helper specialising in small children / old folks!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Able Best Employment Agency charge?›
Placement fees at maid agencies in Singapore typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new-hire helper and S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper. Contact Able Best Employment Agency directly to confirm their current rates, as the listing displays a mid-range ($$) indicator without a specific figure. Beyond the placement fee, budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the MOM monthly levy — S$300 at the standard rate, or S$60 at the concessionary rate if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability.

Confirm in writing which items — Settling-In Programme, medical exam, Work Permit application, insurance — are bundled into the package and which are billed on top. See the full maid agency cost guide for Singapore →
Is Able Best Employment Agency MOM-licensed?›
Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold a MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. Note that Able Best Employment Agency's regulatory licences are not currently listed on this KakiList profile — confirm the EA Licence number directly with the agency and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. Agencies are also graded by MOM on a scale from A+ to C; A+ and A grades signal stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. Ask the agency for their current grade. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if the helper absconds or the agency folds, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the licence before proceeding. 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.
What replacement guarantee does Able Best Employment Agency offer?›
Standard replacement windows in Singapore typically run six months from the helper's arrival date. Ask Able Best Employment Agency how many replacements are included within that window, what circumstances are covered — documented mismatch versus simple change of preference — and what, if anything, voids the guarantee. Also clarify the cost of additional replacements beyond those included, and what happens if the placement breaks down after the guarantee period expires. The household bears repatriation flight costs, refund of unused levy, and Work Permit cancellation in most early-termination scenarios. Get the replacement and early-termination terms in writing before signing the agency contract, so you understand your position if the placement does not work out.
