Domestic Worker
Placement
Matching Singapore households with suitable domestic helpers — handled with care, compliance and transparency.
What This Service Covers
Finding the Right Helper
for Your Household
A domestic helper placement is not just a recruitment transaction. It involves bringing someone into your home — and that requires a level of care that most agencies skip.
Sunpower Employment handles the full placement process for foreign domestic workers (FDWs) in Singapore households. We work with employers to understand the specific household needs — whether that is childcare, eldercare, general housekeeping or cooking — and source candidates whose experience, temperament and expectations genuinely fit the role.
Every placement is handled in full compliance with MOM regulations, including proper documentation, fair employment terms and the Employer Orientation Programme (EOP) requirements where applicable.
Types of Domestic Workers
We Place Helpers Across All Household Roles
Different households have different needs. Tell us what yours are — we will find a candidate whose experience matches.
Childcare Helper
Experienced with infants and young children. Handles feeding, bathing, school runs, homework support and daily childcare routines.
Eldercare Helper
Compassionate helpers experienced in assisting elderly family members with daily activities, mobility support and basic medical care routines.
General Housekeeping
Handles all general household duties — cleaning, laundry, ironing, grocery shopping, cooking and maintaining the home day to day.
"We take the time to understand your household before we present a single candidate. A good match takes longer — but it lasts."— Sunpower Employment
The Process
How We Place Domestic Helpers
Every step is handled properly — from understanding your needs to documentation and post-placement follow-up.
Understanding Your Household
We start by understanding your household — the number of family members, ages of children or elderly, any specific care requirements, dietary needs, language preferences and the day-to-day duties you expect the helper to manage.
- Household composition and size
- Specific duties and daily schedule
- Language and communication preferences
- Childcare, eldercare or housekeeping focus
Candidate Matching & Shortlisting
Using your requirements, we identify candidates from our active database and current helper pool. We review their work history, previous employer feedback and skill sets before shortlisting. You receive a curated selection — not a bulk list.
- Relevant work experience and track record
- Previous employer references where available
- Personality and household compatibility
- Document and eligibility verification
Documentation & MOM Compliance
Once you select a candidate, we guide you through all required documentation — work permit applications, employment contracts, security bonds and the Employer Orientation Programme (EOP) where required by MOM.
- Work permit application assistance
- Employment contract preparation
- Security bond coordination
- Employer Orientation Programme (EOP) guidance
Placement & Settling-In Support
After the helper arrives, we follow up during the settling-in period. If issues arise early — and sometimes they do — you have someone to call. We stay involved until both parties are settled and the placement is working well.
- Arrival and orientation support
- Settling-in period follow-up
- Mediation support if needed
- Responsive post-placement assistance
What Employers Should Know
Your Responsibilities
as an FDW Employer
Hiring a foreign domestic worker in Singapore comes with legal obligations set by the Ministry of Manpower. We guide you through all of these — but it helps to understand them before you begin.

Why Choose Us
What We Do Differently
Comprehensive EA Licence
Our licence (18C9069) covers all domestic worker categories. You are dealing with a properly licensed and regulated agency — not an unregistered middleman.
Ethical Placement Standards
We do not overcharge helpers or impose excessive placement fees. Fair treatment of candidates is non-negotiable — it is also what produces better long-term placements.
We Match, Not Just Send
We spend time understanding your household before shortlisting. A mismatch in the first month costs everyone — we work to prevent that from the start.
Reachable After Placement
We follow up. If an issue arises during the settling-in period, you can reach us directly — not a generic support inbox.
