Looking for a reliable live out helper in Singapore? Many families today are moving away from the traditional domestic helper model and choosing part-time or live out helpers instead. Why? Because it offers flexibility, cost savings, and privacy, all while keeping your home clean and sparkling.
At Absolute Cleaning Singapore, we’ve served Singapore households and offices for more than a decade, helping families, professionals, and businesses maintain clean and healthy spaces.
Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a live out helper in Singapore.
What is a Live Out Helper in Singapore?
A live out helper is a cleaning professional who works for you on a part-time basis without staying in your home. Unlike a stay-in helper under MOM’s Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) scheme, live out helpers:
-
- Do not require lodging or meals.
- Work on hourly or session-based arrangements.
- Are legally employed through cleaning agencies such as Absolute Cleaning Singapore.
- Provide flexible cleaning services tailored to your schedule.
This arrangement is especially popular among Condominium and HDB households that prefer to keep their privacy while enjoying professional cleaning support.
Engaging a live out helper through licensed cleaning agencies ensures compliance with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) regulations, giving Singapore families peace of mind that their arrangements are both safe and legal
