While it is technically possible for you to apply direct to the Immigration Department of Malaysia for a Working Pass for their selected domestic worker, the hassle of bureaucracy coupled with the relative inexperience of the average Malaysian makes this a definite uphill task.
Specialised recruitment agencies will be able to spare you the burden of dealing with the bureaucracy as well as sourcing for the most suitable domestic helper or maid that matches your needs and requirements.
When looking for the right domestic helper and maid agency, this is one of the few situations in life where size doesn't particularly matter. Smaller sized agencies with approachable staff tend to provide more personalised service that can better meet your expectations compared to larger ones (think bureaucracy).
A good domestic helper and maid agency will also seek to satisfy your specific preferences and criteria. For example, you may require a domestic helper or maid who has experience in taking care of the elderly or very young children. You may also require a domestic helper or maid who is able to converse in English. A credible domestic helper or maid agency will take these requirements into account.
So how do you find the right maid agency?
Maid in Malaysia is a referral service for licensed professional domestic helper and maid recruitment agency services in the Klang Valley of Malaysia. We take your specific requirements for a domestic helper, maid, nanny, and much more and match them with profiles of potential recruits from different agencies to help you find the right fit.
Incidentally, we don't charge you for the referral service (yes .. it is absolutely free), and all transactions are directly negotiated between you and the domestic helper and maid recruitment agency referred.
