 Qualified to run a "maid agency"
Anne Genetet has successfully passed the Singapore Polytechnic Certificate for Employment Agencies, required by MOM (Ministry of Manpower) to apply for a Maid Agency Licence in Singapore. Attending this course has given to her an in depth knowledge of all legal and administrative issues related to work permit for Foreign Domestic Workers.
| The teachers of this course made it very clear that any consulting business offering to do matching between prospective employers and domestic helpers is illegal in Singapore. The H.E.L.P. agency is not providing matching services. |
Focused on Domestic Helpers' issues
Since she settled in Singapore in 2005, Anne Genetet has been involved in several NGOs that provide support to migrant workers. She volunteers as a medical doctor in a shelter for domestic helpers who are at odds with their employers.
A career dedicated to human relationships
Her present interest in the condition of Foreign Domestic Workers in Asia is consistent with her career that has always been dedicated to human relationships, education, and transmission of knowledge through various positions:
- GP with precarious population,
- GP with newborns, infants and kindergarten children with French National Health Service,
- Medical journalist with French medical press magazine,
- Copywriter and medical director of a medical advertising company,
- Senior medical consultant on health risk management, pandemic issues and business continuity planning with multinational companies.
An active expatriate in Singapore
As an editor for the magazine of the French expatriate community in Singapore and as an elected parent on the Educational Committee of the French School in Singapore, Anne Genetet has close links with the expatriate community whose specificities are well known to her.
She graduated from Paris Medical School in 1994 as a GP and in 1999 as a medical journalist.
Linked to local resources
The H.E.L.P. agency gather all resources required for a finetuned understanding of a Western family's needs on the one hand and of an Asian Domestic Helper's expectations on the other hand.
So huge the gap between Western and Asian cultures that a mixed approach, Western and local is obviously the only appropriate answer that the H.E.L.P. agency is the only one to offer.
The director of the H.E.L.P. agency is French. Our partners are singaporean and have a long lasting experience of maid agency management. We also have Philipino and Indonesian correspondants who support us with their knowledge of their communities. They are of irreplaceable value for mediation purposes.
