How can temporary caregivers support you when your helper is away?
Many Singaporean families rely on domestic helpers for their elderly loved ones’ care. However, according to the Ministry of Manpower’s regulations, your domestic helper is entitled to one rest day per week and must have one rest day each month that cannot be compensated away.
During your helper’s rest days, overseas home leave, or when you are waiting for a new helper to arrive, juggling caregiving with work and family responsibilities can leave you exhausted.
Flexible and short-term care support can be an alternative to taking on caregiving responsibilities on your own. Whether it is for a few hours each day, or for a few weeks or months, our trained caregivers will look after your family member whenever you need extra help.
