Time for sun and fun
Happy helpers have good mental health, and that means they get along better with their employers. MyHelper organises regular outings so helpers can enjoy themselves, refresh their spirit, and simply have fun. Here are some moments from our outings over the years.

MyHelper seeks to equip helpers with skills they can use after their contracts in Singapore end — we subsidise 50% of course fees for helpers who complete a training course with a third-party provider.
