Hiring a maid is very daunting and time-consuming. However, there are agencies such as Maid Provider that make the maid-hiring process easier. In fact, Maid Provider, which was founded in 2009, is the Philippines' no. 1 maid agency, and for good reasons.
First, Maid Provider is the only maid agency in the Philippines that is Dun & Bradstreet-verified. Such a verification is a vouch of the integrity of the maid agency's operations including the minimized risks inherent to its line of business, which is employing household workers. Basically, the safety, security and health of the people could be put in jeopardy if you are not careful in dealing with a maid agency.
Second, Maid Provider is the only maid agency that provides psychological screening to its maids and other househelpers. The agency taps into the help of Manila Doctors Hospital to conduct the clinical exams. It ensures that the maids it deploys are physically, emotionally and mentally fit to work. The agency won't deploy any maid or driver unless we are 100% sure that he or she can perform and deliver the work expected of him or her.
Third, Maid Provider is the only agency that implements the risk-based verification approach. The agency conducts a maid risk profiling to determine the risk level of hiring this or that particular maid. That's going beyond the usual conduct of a background investigation that stops at obtaining the NBI clearance. Unlike other maid agencies, a representative from Maid Provider pays the address submitted by the maid a visit to ensure that he or she lives in that residence. If possible, the agency calls the previous employers.
Fourth, Maid Provider is the very first agency that trains its maid through a manual specifically written for them. Such comprehensive training manual contains 74 essential skills every maid and houseworker must understand and learn. Most importantly, the manual contains how to do first aids such as Heimlich manoeuvre. The 68-page manual is written in easy to understand language and is available to the employers at no extra fee.
Fifth, Maid Provider is also the first maid agency that provides the employer with a guideline about the laws governing maids. It compiles all the legal requirements and includes information on the obligations of the employers. The guideline, which the agency calls the Kasambahay Contract, is handed to the employer upon deployment. Now, the employers won't get confused about how to go about the processes such as dealing with absences and checking the mobile phones of their maid.
Finally, Maid Provider is a well-received agency in the country. It was featured in various local programs such as 'Kabuhayang Swak na Swak' (ABS-CBN), 'Kape at Balita' (GMA News TV), 'Trabaho, Panalo!' (DZMM), 'Kay Susan Na' (DZBB), 'Talkback with Tina Palman' (ANC), and 'The 700 Club Asia' (CBN Asia). The agency was also featured in Good Housekeeping, a local magazine.
These are just six of the reasons why Maid Provider is regarded as the Philippines no. 1 agency. Nevertheless, these reasons are what separate this maid agency from other mediocre agencies in the country.
