1. More affluent in English
One of the most important reasons for many parents to choose Filipino maids are their better language skill as compare to maids from other countries.
Maid is someone that you are going to interact every day once you engage her service. Better language skill means that she is able to understand better about your instruction and what your needs are.
2. No problem with homesickness
Home-sickness is problem with many new maids and sometime can cause them to behave unusually. Because of their large number, many maids from Philippines may have friends or relatives in Singapore. This means that they will have someone to talk to when they miss home and someone to go with during off days. This will help to lessen the extent of the home-sickness.
1. Higher Cost
