SINGAPORE — Mr Tan Wee Han left his job as a captain in the Singapore Armed Forces, where he had worked for about 11 years, to become a freelance caregiver at Homage, a company that offers home care services, in December 2021.

In fact, caregiving has"never left life", he said, because he was his mother's main caregiver when she had a relapse of cancer while he was still in secondary school.

He believes that with the wider availability of home care services these days, it is much easier to find home care professionals in a"very short amount of time".There are no statistics on the total number of professional caregivers in Singapore, or a breakdown of their ages or gender types.A spokesperson for Caregiver Asia said the online portal for healthcare services saw a 20 per cent increase in freelancers and part-timers from 2020 to 2022, while declining to give exact figures.

The latest available statistics show that in 2021, around 12 per cent of registered nurses were male, compared to 8.5 per cent in 2011. For Mr Asy'ari Asni, he, too, started out as a freelance caregiver at Homage in June 2017 before taking on the job full time the following year.
