Questions About Live-In Caregivers
Plenty of caregiver agencies in Singapore recruits skilled live-in caregivers. For instance, we hire island caregivers here in our agency from countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines. As RC Caregivers are not a licensed Employment Agency, we work with our licensed partners to ensure that the caregivers, if foreign, will go through the due process under Ministry of Manpower requirements.
The countries that are approved sources of caregiver recruitments are as follows: Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Macau, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, and Myanmar. These are the countries where caregiver agencies in Singapore can hire a live-in caregiver from.
There is a rule which states that live-in caregivers can have a weekly rest day if their work permit was either issued or renewed after January 1, 2013. This allows a caregiver to recharge and rest so that she can perform her duties better.
However, if your live-in caregiver decides to work on her rest day, they must be compensated with any of the following:
- At least a 1-day's salary that is excluded from the caregiver's salary (the basic one).
- An alternative/replacement rest day that can be taken within the same month.
Training for live-in caregivers can last up to 12 days. An employment agency for live-in caregivers typically requires training for their employees to ensure they have the needed competencies. This may seem like a short time, but this already includes all the aspects of training that a caregiver needs to pass the competency assessment in their work.
