My real question is whether there are maid services in Singapore like the ones we have in the US. It is very, very unusual to have a full or even part time maid. People who have help usually have someone come in and clean once a week, or even every other week. There are companies that provide people to clean, sometimes a whole group comes in and whisks through your place in a few hours. The cleaners are bonded and insured.

If such services are available, would that get you through?
