Trying to get a sense of live in maid rates these days. In searching various maid agencies, I’m noticing expat-oriented maids asking 800-900/month, while those with experience working for Chinese, Indian or local Singaporeans are asking for roughly 650-750. It seems the minimum these days is 600. Not sure of maximums but I would imagine they can go upwards to 1000 for a real star.
Also wondering how most families handle “allowances”. I have heard of some expat families giving a food allowance on top of the monthly rate. Anywhere from $200-400.
We are no longer on expat package so do need to be mindful of the budget.
Just wanted to take a survey of what you are all currently paying your maid.
Anyone have any inputs on market rates?
Anyone have a sense of what the market rates are?
