A neighbour introduced Oscar Maids to my husband. She told him that she preferred to take new helpers and train them. I don't have the patience so I selected an ex-SG who turned out to be the best helper I’ve had but it’s early days still but I hope she continues to be cheerful & pleasant & hardworking. So I’m glad we selected a helper from Oscar Maids and Renie was especially helpful and could be bothered to check with me on the performance of the maid after she had been with us for awhile.

Following a glowing recommendation from a trusted family friend, we approached Oscar Maids and were immediately impressed. Shay and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and administrative aspects. Their genuine knowledge of the helpers they offered and the evident care they had for them were particularly reassuring. My in-laws are now delighted with the helper they employed through Oscar, and I wholeheartedly recommend their efficient and fuss-free service. I only wish I had known about them when I needed a helper myself!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Oscar Maids charge?›
The placement fee for a new-hire helper through a Singapore maid agency typically runs S$1,500–3,500; a transfer helper (already in Singapore on an existing Work Permit) is usually cheaper at S$500–1,500. Contact Oscar Maids directly for their current fee schedule. 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 for eligible households), mandatory FDW insurance (~S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application fees. Confirm which of these are bundled into the agency fee and which are billed separately before signing anything. See the full maid agency cost guide for Singapore →
Is Oscar Maids MOM-licensed?›
Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold a MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. No EA Licence is recorded in Oscar Maids' current listing data, so you should verify their licence status directly on the MOM portal before paying any deposit. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies rated A+ or A demonstrate stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. 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 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 Oscar Maids offer?›
Standard replacement windows at Singapore maid agencies are typically six months from the helper's arrival date. Confirm with Oscar Maids how many replacements are included within that window, what circumstances void the guarantee (for example, documented mismatch versus change of mind), and whether additional replacements beyond the included number incur a further fee. Also clarify the early-termination process if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window. The household is generally responsible for the repatriation flight, refund of unused MOM levy, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork — costs that can add up quickly. Getting these terms in writing before you commit avoids disputes later.
