Complete Guide to Hiring a Live-in Caregiver in Singapore

From care needs to a live-in match

A live-in caregiver can help an older person remain at home with consistent daily support. The process includes assessing needs, choosing the role, reviewing candidates, completing MOM requirements, and preparing the household for onboarding.

• Define mobility, personal care, language, and medical-support needs
• Review experience and practical household fit
• Agree on duties, rest days, salary, and living arrangements

Support after hiring

Good preparation continues after the work permit is approved. A clear handover, orientation, safe home setup, and a way to review the care plan help the placement work for both the family and caregiver.
