How to Hire a Caregiver in Singapore: Step-by-Step

A practical caregiver hiring process

Hiring starts with understanding the senior's daily care needs, mobility, health conditions, language, and household arrangement. From there, families can compare caregiver types, set a realistic budget, and prepare for the MOM process.

• Assess care needs and define the caregiver role
• Compare skills, experience, language, and household fit
• Prepare documents, work permit steps, and onboarding

What to check before placement

Ask about relevant experience, rest days, duties, accommodation, salary, levies, insurance, and support after placement. A clear agreement helps the caregiver and family begin with shared expectations.
