The situation there is much more like the US: the workers are paid Singaporean wages (around $15-20 a hour) and are Singaporean citizens or permanent residents, so enjoy all the legal protections of a typical worker. It's much more expensive than having a maid if you want more than just occasional cleaning, though, as maids are paid around $500/month. <br /><br />I have a cleaner too (she comes once a week for four hours) and agree that it is great. I love my cleaner and agree that it is a very worthwhile luxury!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570841904308934998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794836422803225879.post-13110950324381409822015-06-15T09:57:24.482+08:002015-06-15T09:57:24.482+08:00Do people ever have part time help?

Someone to just clean and/or cook once or twice a week for a few hours (such as a U.S. housekeeper)? <br /><br />When I had my third child last summer and drastically cut my work hours (and thus income), we cut many luxuries, but kept the housekeeper. She is worth every penny!Lindsay Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782597955844156580noreply@blogger.com
