Human+ — Dignified Employment for Filipino Household Workers
Beyond Employment. Toward Dignity.
A kasambahay is not a lesser worker.
She is a professional. A caregiver. A backbone of the Philippine economy.
And she deserves to be treated — and paid — accordingly.
"Ang kasambahay na kumikita nang maayos dito sa Pilipinas ay hindi na kailangang umalis. Iyan ang layunin ng Human+."
A kasambahay who earns well here no longer needs to leave. That is the purpose of Human+.
Every year, thousands of Filipino mothers leave.
They don't have to.
At any given time, over 2 million Filipinos are working abroad — more than half of them women. Most are mothers working in household care because the same work, here at home, has historically been underpaid, undervalued, and under-protected.
The result is a national wound that has become so familiar we stopped calling it a wound. Families separated for years. Children raised by grandparents. Fathers who become strangers to their own households. The quiet grief of the OFW departure has been normalized as sacrifice. It is, more accurately, a symptom of a broken market.
Human+ exists to address the root of that market failure: the belief that household work is not real work, that kasambahay are not real professionals, and that a fair kasambahay salary in the Philippines is somehow an unreasonable expectation.
"The real cost of cheap household help is paid by someone's child — growing up without a parent who could have stayed."
— Human+ Advocacy, MaidProvider.phThe Human+ Principles
Household work is professional work.
Cooking, childcare, eldercare, household management — these require skill, judgment, and genuine human care. That is the definition of professional work.
A dignified salary is a national interest.
When a kasambahay earns enough to stay, a Filipino family stays whole. That is not a private benefit. That is nation-building.
Going abroad should be a choice, not a necessity.
OFW sacrifice deserves every honor it receives. But it should never be the only option.
Employers have a responsibility, not just a budget.
Choosing how to pay and treat a household professional is a moral decision. Human+ calls employers to make it consciously.
Mental health is not a luxury screening item.
MaidProvider.ph has partnered with Manila Doctors Hospital for clinical psychological screening since 2015 — because the wellbeing of the worker matters as much as the safety of the household.
Transparency builds trust. Always.
We believe in showing our history — including the difficult parts — rather than hiding behind polished marketing.

The Human+ Employer Commitment
Being a Human+ Employer is a choice to see the whole person behind the role. It asks only what good employers already know is right — and it changes everything about the relationship.
- Pay above the Kasambahay Law minimum — a wage that genuinely supports a life
- Communicate with respect — no shouting, no condescension, no double standards
- Champion her future — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and 13th-month pay are non-negotiable foundations, not optional extras
- Allow regular contact with family — she has people who need her too
- Honor the service contract — clarity protects everyone
- Recognize her work as professional — because it is
We publish what others hide.
Any agency can claim to care about workers. We chose to prove it — in writing, in public, year after year.
MaidProvider.ph voluntarily publishes a public operational transparency report — our full record, openly available. Not a curated highlight reel. A full account: our placements, our ratings, our difficult years, and how we handled them. In an industry that hides, we chose to show.
Human+ is not a marketing campaign. It is a position backed by 17 years of documented practice. In 2025, we began publishing that record publicly — because we believe families deserve to see it.
We began publishing our operational history publicly in 2025 — including the years we are not proud of. You can read it in The Record.
A pioneer in household staffing transparency — voluntarily publishing our operational record for public audit since 2025.
17 years of history. Publicly disclosed since 2025 — including the difficult parts. Because trust is built on truth, not branding.
Keep Filipino families together.
That is the simplest version of what Human+ is trying to do. Not through policy alone. Not through advocacy alone. But through the daily discipline of placing household professionals with dignity — screening carefully, paying fairly, and holding both employer and worker to a standard that makes the relationship work.
Every placement MaidProvider.ph makes is a vote for a Philippines where a mother does not have to choose between her livelihood and her children — where a kasambahay is not a last resort but a respected professional, where her work is part of the formal economy, protected and valued. That Philippines is possible. It is documented in The Record — published for anyone to read.
