Looking for second Filipino helper to join our family

We are a warm family of five, with a wonderful helper who has been with us and is renewing her contract for another two years. While we may not be a wealthy family, we deeply value respect and kindness, treating our helpers as part of our family.

Our family includes three children:

A 9-year-old girl with mild autism who attends Primary school and student care. She is cheerful, active, and a burst of sunshine. She sometimes needs gentle reminders to stay on track and connect her emotions to her actions, but she is otherwise independent and full of energy.

Two boys, aged 5 and 6, who are in preschool.

Due to the children’s different schedules, we’re looking for a second helper to assist in managing daily tasks and creating a positive, loving environment for our kids.

We’re seeking someone who is:

Kind, hardworking, and easy-going.

Genuinely loves kids and enjoys spending time with them.

We live in a 4-room HDB flat and can offer:

2 Sundays off per month.

No WiFi restrictions, although we kindly request limited phone use when with the children, especially outside the home.

A shared room with our current helper.

Key responsibilities include:

Cooking, cleaning, and caring for the pets.

Fetching the children from school.

Arranging activities, reading to them, and playing with them.

Our ideal candidate:

Is already in Singapore.

Has good references from their current or previous employer(s) (optional).

Salary: $650 - $750, depending on experience.

If you’re looking for a family that values and cares for you as one of their own, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re open to discussions and would like to conduct two rounds of interviews:

A video interview.

A physical interview.
