Why Are Employers Hiring Myanmar Maids?
In recent years, the number of Myanmar maids serving home care needs in Singapore has grown by 50% and it is considered one of the fastest growing group of migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Singapore.
When it comes to the preferred nationality of maid hire, Myanmar maids are indeed an increasingly popular choice that come to the minds of Singaporean employers due to many reasons and benefits.
In the current markets in Singapore, the basic salary of a Myanmar maid is currently around $480 to $500, and this is minimally $100 less than the basic salary of Indonesian and Filipino helpers based in Singapore. As it would be a lower cost on your household monthly budget to pay for a Myanmar maid’s salary, many employers prefer to hire a Myanmar maid.
At the onset, Myanmar helpers (who are first time in Singapore), will need more guidance due to their language (basic english), but it is still quite a common consensus amongst employers that most Myanmar maids are quite teachable and good-natured. Due to their good attitude and mannerisms, and coupled with the right guidance by employers, they catch on fast to the communication and adjust well to their new work environments.
For Myanmar maids, their overseas processing time is usually much faster than Indonesian or Myanmar maids. This is because they do not require an embassy contract to be processed before arriving in Singapore (as compared to Filipino and Indonesian maids).
Due to their nature, many employers have personally feedbacked from experience that Myanmar maids tend to be less vocal and less demanding.
For some employers, when deciding on their maid hire, religion plays an important factor as they believe that someone who works in their household should share the same beliefs.
为什么雇主雇佣缅甸女佣？
近年来，在新加坡，满足家庭护理需求的缅甸女佣人数增长了50%，被认为是新加坡增长速度最快的家庭女佣群体之一。
当谈到雇佣女佣的首选国籍时，由于许多原因，缅甸女佣确实是新加坡雇主心目中越来越受欢迎的选择。
在新加坡目前的市场上，缅甸女佣的基本工资目前约为480至500美元，比新加坡的印尼和菲律宾女佣的基本工资至少低100美元。由于支付缅甸女佣的工资会降低家庭每月预算的成本，许多雇主更喜欢雇佣缅甸女佣。
一开始，缅甸女佣（第一次来新加坡）因其语言（基本英语）而需要更多的指导，但雇主仍然普遍认为，大多数缅甸女佣都很好教，脾气也很好。由于他们良好的态度和习惯，再加上雇主的正确指导，他们很快就掌握了沟通，并很好地适应了新的工作环境。
对于缅甸女佣来说，她们的海外处理时间通常比印尼或缅甸女佣快得多。这是因为他们在抵达新加坡之前不需要处理大使馆合同（与菲律宾和印度尼西亚女佣相比）。
由于她们的性格，许多雇主反馈，缅甸女佣往往直言不讳，要求也不高。
对于一些雇主来说，在决定雇佣女佣时，宗教是一个重要因素，因为他们认为在家工作的人应该有相同的信仰。
