When engaging Yishun Employment, households should confirm the MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence number and verify it on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit. The key cost variables to clarify upfront are the placement fee (new-hire placements typically run S$1,500–3,500; transfer helpers are generally less), the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or the concessionary S$60 rate if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm what is bundled into the package — mandatory FDW insurance, Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application — versus what is billed separately. Source-country options, replacement guarantee window, and the repatriation cost on early termination are all worth discussing before signing.
To get started, contact Yishun Employment by phone or via the enquiry form to describe your household's needs, preferred source country, and timeline, then request a written breakdown of all fees before committing.
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.
We had a really good experience with Yishun Employment, especially our agent Ivin. As first-time employers hiring a helper to take care of our newborn, toddler, and do general housework, we were quite nervous and unsure at first. Ivin was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. She helped us filter suitable candidates, arranged interviews, and guided us step by step. She always replied promptly and explained things clearly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Really thankful for her support and dedication. Highly recommend Ivin and Yishun Employment to anyone looking for a reliable agent! 😊
I have been using Yishun Employment for more 15 years and have always benefited from their reliable and professional service in providing the best helpers for my family. I’ve tried other agencies before, but none of them match the quality offered here. May have assisted me recently in finding a helper who is a great fit for my family with teenagers. She was very patient, understanding our needs, and guiding us through the selection process smoothly. I used to hire Filipino helpers, but this time I hired a Myanmar helper from them and to my surprise, she has been excellent — even better than my previous helpers. Truly appreciate the consistent quality and service. Highly recommended!
My experience with Yishun Employment was excellent. They lived up to their promise by sourcing a suitable domestic helper fresh from Myanmar and completing her deployment within 3 weeks. Additionally, their team gave me helpful, step-by-step advice to arrange all the documents for sending my previous helper back home. Highly recommended for their efficiency and assistance!
I have been engaging their services for more than 10 years. All the helpers recommended by them are good and the last one has been with us for 6 years now. Agent Vivian and Ivy are very helpful, responsive and fast acting especially when it comes to getting the documentation and embassy submission done. I will greatly recommend Yishun Employment.
We have engaged Yishun Employment for helpers for both my parents’ home and mine. Their team offers a wide selection of helpers and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth settling-in process. Replacements when needed, were managed quickly and without hassle. Highly recommend their reliable service!

Yishun Employment displays mid-range pricing, though specific placement fees are not published. As a market reference, new-hire placements at Singapore maid agencies typically cost S$1,500–3,500, while transfer helpers (already in Singapore on a current Work Permit) tend to be S$500–1,500. On top of the placement fee, budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary for qualifying households with a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm whether mandatory FDW insurance (~S$300–600/year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are bundled into the package or billed separately.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold a MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is publicly verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by agency name or licence number. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. At the time of this listing, Yishun Employment's EA Licence details were not provided — confirm the licence number directly with the agency and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies rated A+ or A have stronger compliance track records and more robust complaint-handling processes. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if issues arise, and can void 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.
Standard replacement guarantees at Singapore maid agencies typically run for six months from the helper's arrival date. Confirm with Yishun Employment how many replacements are included within that window, what circumstances void the guarantee (for example, documented performance mismatch versus a change of mind), and what the cost of any additional replacement beyond the included allowance would be. Also clarify the early-termination process: if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household is responsible for the repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation paperwork, and any refund or levy adjustments. Understanding these terms before signing avoids surprises later. 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.
