Transfer maids have worked in Singaporean homes before, so they’re already used to local customs and routines. This means they usually need less training or supervision.

Yes, since they’ve worked in Singapore, many have picked up basic English or Chinese. This makes it much easier to communicate compared to hiring a first-time helper.

You can do that if they are already in the country you are based in. We would advise you to at least conduct a video call with them via their WhatsApp listed in their profile.
