A Customer Review: Maid Uniforms in Singapore

 

 

"We received the ordered uniforms through last Saturday. Thank you very much.

The uniforms are indeed tailored according to my request and they fit perfectly for my domestic helper. The design of the uniform is feminine, pleasant, yet professional and our helper has been happily wearing them out since we received the uniforms.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance and advice through the phone. You were right, the grey one is indeed favorable and you will definitely hear from me again in the near future with regards to more orders."

Nametags for Maid Uniforms

What do you do when a household has five maids, and they are all to be dressed exactly the same? Well, we make nametags !

This has more to do with being able to separate the garments for each individual, rather than say.... helping the employer remember who's who.

The maid Azrin has one of the nametags that we attached to the inside of her maid uniform. She belongs to a work household of 5 maids, 2 cooks, a gardener and 2 drivers here in Kuala Lumpur.

Nametags are embroidered and can take up to eight alphabets. They are free. Please ask for a nametag if you need one for your custom-made uniform at borneopop@gmail.com

Maid Dress Uniform for the Ambassador's Household

We are SO honoured to be given the opportunity to work with the Embassy of Peru in Kuala Lumpur. This maid dress uniform was made according to their official design specifications. The epaulettes were definitely a "first" for us and quite interesting when put on a domestic help's uniform.
There is also a gorgeous white apron, with pleats and gilded with lace.

Long wait over for Indonesian maids - Bernama

BANDUNG (May 31, 2011): The signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta ended a two-year freeze on Indonesian maids working in Malaysia, thus paving the way for their arrival in two weeks. Both countries agreed that the salary be determined by market forces but Indonesia requested that such wages not be lower than the minimum wage in Indonesia.
The wages for domestic maids in Indonesia range from Rp600,000 (RM212) to Rp1.2mil (RM424).
Also, the MoU set the initial fees employers have to pay at RM4,511. MoU also stated that maids be given one rest day in a week or one-and-a-half day's wage if they opt to give up the rest day and work instead.
Under the new MoU, employers have to be given a replacement maid or the agency fees refunded if the maid runs away, is found to be incompetent or does not meet health requirements. - Bernama

Latest news: Jakarta to lift bans on maids

PUTRAJAYA (May 17, 2011): Indonesia will lift a two-year moratorium on sending its maids to Malaysia with the signing of an agreement between both countries in Jakarta later this month.

Human Resource Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, when contacted by Bernama, confirmed that maid agencies in Indonesia would be required to send only trained maids and to provide suitable replacements.

Some of the points that had been agreed upon by both countries dealt with the passport problem, cost structure and the off day for maids.

(The use of proper workwear / uniforms is highly encouraged, as it dealt with promoting morale and work effectiveness. In Indonesia, maid uniforms are common in many households.)

why wear uniforms?

Do your maids wear uniforms?

Employer #1 (male, 55): I like having Mindy wear a maid's uniform when she’s working at my house. Having her do so means that I won’t find myself unpleasantly confronted by what I might consider to be her unfortunate or inappropriate clothing choices if I happen to be at home when she is there. It also means that she isn't wearing out or soiling her own clothes when working for us in KL. And it clearly identifies her as an employee rather than the “lady of the house” when deliverymen or strangers or guests come to our door. In the end, I know what to expect when I see or spend time in the house with Mindy, and so does she.

Employer #2 (female, 37):  Firemen, policemen and even we in the corporate world have to wear a uniform. Waiters and waitresses also have to wear a uniform so why is it too much to ask the maids to wear one when they work? Employees of McDonalds and cleaners and cafeteria people at hospitals also wear a uniform.


Employer #3 (female, 42): It actually makes life much easier for the employer and employee (provided the employer provide the maid uniform).
The employee who may have at first dislike the idea may be pleased to see how much time they save getting ready for work when they know what they will be wearing every day. A simple and consistent routine shaves an unbelievable amount of time off of your morning routine. Also, they won't have to worry about ruining their clothes or wearing them out at work. The employer wins because it is a neater look for their house. Something simple always looks neater. I think in the end, people won't even mind, anything that makes life easier sounds good to me.

Benefits of a maid uniform

Functionality is the primary purpose of a uniform for domestic help.

1) Regardless of any profession, wearing the proper work attire is essential for career success, especially for domestic help. Neat and comfortable clothing makes a difference in the manner and speed in which an employee works and/or carries herself.

2) If you want your maid to be noticed as a maid during parties, sessions or crowded areas, it is important that she looks like one. You may feel slightly embarrassed to admit this, but face the fact that you would like your maid to look good .... but AS A MAID!

3) Studies have shown that maids who wear uniforms report a considerable increase in self-confidence -- uniforms provide dignity and shows that as an employer you care about her and her attire. Never ask a maid to wear cast-me-down clothes.... it brings down morale and saps all motivation to continue serving the family as best as possible.

4) Choose dark-coloured uniforms for occasions where your maid is required to attend or serve adults. Darker colours are formal, no-nonsense and helps the staff blend into the background when service is finished.

5) Choose light-coloured, pastel or white uniforms for nannies or maids dedicated to minding children. Lighter colours are not so severe. In addition, it will be easier for the child to spot the maid in crowded parties, especially when the maid is wearing an extraordinary shade (ie check out our new colours turquoise, pink and cobalt blue).

6) Neat Nanny uniforms are not mass-produced, but tailored by experienced seamstresses in our very pleasant workshop. Call us 012-6285773 if you have specifics....we are able to help you with custom-make. And why not? We don't charge that much more for the extra bells and whistles. Try us. You won't regret it. Neat Nanny has been re-produced in many variety of designs for hundreds of households in Malaysia and Singapore.

Maid Uniform -- Work Attire Promotes Work Happiness

Maid uniforms are the perfect work attire for household help, if you want presentable domestic staff who go about their daily chores with real purpose. Tee-shirts and bermuda shorts are NOT suitable daily clothing for maids, nannies or cooks!

Ask yourself, would you work doubly hard at the office if you were wearing a loose, old shirt with auntie pants? Of course not. Thoughts become actions -- what you wear in your workday will form your idea of work effort. Put on a straight work uniform, and your hands and mind will go straight to work! Its as simple as that.

Thats why blue-collar workers need to wear blue-collar suits. Maids uniforms serve the same purpose, especially for households in big cities like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Get a maids uniform from NEAT NANNY for that lovely new maid who has just joined your household and watch her transform into the best worker you've ever known.

Our maids uniform start from RM59 a set (shirt and pants). We accept custom orders for XXS up to XXL. This is what employers have to say:
