MUSLIM MAID FAQ

A few things
to ask before
you decide.

Prefer to talk it through?

Speak with the team

Does being Muslim guarantee halal cooking experience?

No. Ask each candidate about her own experience and let her explain practical kitchen routines. Religious identity alone does not establish cooking or care competence.

How should we discuss prayer and Ramadan?

Talk openly about prayer space, schedules, meal preparation and workload before placement. Agree on a workable routine together rather than leaving expectations unspoken.

What costs should I budget for?

We provide an itemised quotation covering agency service fees, third-party charges, insurance and any placement-fee arrangement.

Will a helper understand Malay?

Language ability varies. Use ordinary household instructions in the interview and invite Malay-speaking family members to join. Confirm understanding directly.

Can I consider a transfer helper?
