Hi, I am Elvin Yeo,
I know exactly why you are searching for ‘no agent fee.’ For years, I watched traditional agencies charge Singaporean families $300 to $800 just to introduce a helper. I felt this was unfair. Why should you pay a massive ‘entrance fee’ just to get your house cleaned?
When I started Auntie Cleaner, I made a rule: No Admin Fees. No Agent Fees. No Hidden Costs.
You pay for the cleaning hours, and that is it. My team is MOM-licensed and insured, so you get the safety of an agency without the expensive ‘agent’ price tag. We have many mouths to feed, and we work hard to earn your trust, not your fees.
The most reliable way to find a part time maid in Singapore without an agent fee is to book directly with a MOM-licensed cleaning company. This ensures full insurance coverage and avoids the middleman costs of traditional agencies.

Eco-Friendly Part-Time Maid Services in Singapore
With environmental concerns becoming a priority for many households in Singapore, hiring a part-time maid who practices eco-friendly cleaning methods can be a wise choice. Eco-friendly cleaning not only protects the environment but also keeps your home safe from harmful chemicals found in traditional cleaning products.
Here are some key eco-friendly practices that your part-time maid service can offer:
- Using Green Cleaning Products
Eco-friendly cleaning products are free of harsh chemicals such as ammonia and bleach. Instead, they use natural ingredients that are safe for your family and the environment. According to the National Environment Agency of Singapore, adopting sustainable practices in your household helps reduce your household’s environmental impact. - Reducing Waste
A professional part-time maid can help implement waste-reduction techniques, such as separating recyclables from trash. The Singapore government promotes sustainable living practices, as outlined in its Zero Waste Masterplan, which emphasizes effective waste management at home. - Energy-Efficient Cleaning
Hiring part-time maids who focus on energy-efficient cleaning, such as using less water or employing energy-saving appliances, is becoming increasingly popular. According to the Sustainable Singapore Blueprint, these small changes help reduce households’ overall carbon footprint.
By opting for a part-time maid service that employs eco-friendly methods, you not only maintain a clean home but also contribute to Singapore’s green initiatives.

Why It Matters in Singapore?
Agency-based helpers often come with placement fees, deposits, or contracts that don’t fit every household’s needs.
Singaporeans who prefer flexibility, such as working couples, elderly parents, or pet owners, now choose direct-hire part-time maids because:
- There’s no middleman or agent cost
- You only pay for the hours worked
- It’s fully legal for cleaning companies to send local or PR helpers for part-time jobs
- Schedules are adjustable for weekly, bi-weekly, or one-time sessions
For reference, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) clarifies that hiring through a licensed cleaning company (not as a personal domestic worker) is the correct and legal method for part-time cleaning in Singapore.

Many homeowners try to find a freelancer on social media to avoid fees. I understand why you want to save money.
But please be careful. In Singapore, hiring a freelancer without a valid work permit for part-time cleaning is illegal. If they get injured in your home, you could be liable for their medical bills because they have no insurance.
The Auntie Cleaner Solution: We give you the best of both worlds.
- Zero Agent Fee: You pay $0 to join us.
- Full Safety: All our helpers are legally authorized, insured, and fully trained.
You save the money, but you don’t take the risk. That is my promise to you.
