The Movement Control Order (MCO) has forced the majority employed women to play multiple roles in a 24/7 situation with little break if ever for her own self-care.

To provide a comprehensive solution to the problem, human ecological theory, family systems theory and women well-being model are discussed.

Finally, the presentation of the Mock Up MyDAMAI Home mark the end this paper with conclusion.
