Are We Singapore’s Best Maid Agency? Here’s What Our Customers Say

With a 4.8/5 rating on Google and often sought after by local and international media for our expert opinion on matters relating to our maid industry, it’s no surprise many customers consider us one of the best maid agencies in Singapore. According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), our agency also maintains one of the highest retention rates in the industry, with most of our MOM statistics consistently above the national average.

But instead of us claiming to be the best, we prefer to let our customers be the judge. Below are 10 of our favourite reviews — shared with pride and deep appreciation.

This is an excellent agency that helps clients find the helper that best fit their needs. My experience with them is smooth sailing. In this covid crisis, it is especially obvious that their ability to meet my needs is head and shoulders above other agencies. A shoutout to Karoll, thank you so much for making this whole process a wonderful experience

Our note: Thank you Kenny for your kind words! We are happy the experience was smooth for you even during a challenging period.
Glad that I found UEA! The team esp Jenny is very helpful, responsive and proactive in providing biodatas that fit our requirements in such a short notice especially during this unprecedented times! Appreciate their efforts! I would definitely recommend this agency!

Our note: Thank you, Soo Ing! We are blessed to have many transfer maids available even during the pandemic. This comes from years of hard work and trust built with foreign domestic workers who always think of Universal Employment Agency Pte Ltd when they need a responsible transfer

Karoll has been extremely helpful since the day I contacted the agency. Within a few hours after my call, she provided me with bio data of 5 potential transfer helpers. And by the next day, detailed employment history of all these helpers. She responded to my messages very promptly and arranged interviews very quickly upon my requests. I hired my new helper within 6 days! Fantastic job Karoll!
Our note: Thank you Lynn! We always strive to respond quickly and accurately. While we are not perfect, we do our best to handle all enquiries promptly — even when demand is high

Recommended by a friend who knows we are looking for a domestic helper urgently. Called and was served by Sophie. She over efficient and able to arrange an Zoom interview within half hour. Happy with the quick response and efficiency provided by them. Happy to recommend to my friends.

Our note: Thank you, Carrie! A large portion of our clients come through referrals, which we are very grateful for. Our strong MOM-certified retention rate is a reflection of successful matching between helpers and families

Karoll was a lifesaver to help us find a transfer helper very quickly in this climate where helpers are in short supply. She matched us well and efficiently with a helper who can cook, clean, plenty of experience and most important can handle our young baby. We are very grateful!

Our note: Thank you Jeremy! Matching the right helper to the right household has been our passion for over 30 years since 1986 — and we continue to stay committed with the support of loyal customers like you.

Universal provides very professional service and they give very good advice on choosing the right helper. We have been using their service for many years. One of our helper with nursing background, she is really good and experience on taking care of my father who is bedridden. I have both helpers for my family, both are from Universal, they both are good, caring and loving. Universal is very honest and reliable agent. Thanks Universal!

Our note: Thank you Catherine for your long-term trust. Whether it’s for elderly care or childcare, we always aim to provide helpers who fit your family’s specific needs.

Thanks Sophie for assisting us in searching a suitable helper for our family during this period. She has been prompt and patiently walking us through our requirements, answering our queries and also providing sound advice. Will recommend this to our friends!

Our note: Thank you Andy! We deeply appreciate your trust and your willingness to recommend our agency to others.

Responsive, efficient and patient… found a great helper during this tough period.” — Weiting Tan “Highly recommend! It isn’t easy looking for a helper during this period but my agent Karoll was very responsive, efficient and patient. She understood our requirements well and provided us with suitable profiles.

Our note: Thank you Weiting! Yes — especially during the pandemic, not many agencies had transfer helpers, but we did. We always listen carefully to every employer’s requirements before recommending suitable helpers.

Thank you Universal Employment Agency in the prompt reply and arranging interviews with the potential candidates. We have found a transfer helper in this period that matches our requirements.
Our note: Thank you Adeline! We are glad you enjoyed a smooth hiring experience. Transfer helpers are limited in Singapore, and we’re pleased you found the right match for your family.
Attended by Jenny. Very nice, friendly and patient staff who really took time to explain every details to us as a first time employer. At least she helped us to clarify many unknown matters to the helper which she may not know and we also do not know. She can also recommend a helper that suits our family’s characters and needs and not anyhow to recommend and pushing unsuitable one to us.

Our note: Thank you Yvonne! Many first-time employers feel anxious, so we always take extra care to explain everything clearly. We never “push” unsuitable helpers — proper matching makes both the employer and helper happy. This is why we maintain one of the highest MOM retention rates in Singapore.
