There are many things to learn as you prepare for your baby’s arrival, and we are here to help. Your confinement nanny will provide round-the-clock care and guidance to help you transition to motherhood seamlessly.

Using our app, you can directly discuss the package details, such as job scope, expectations, and remuneration, with the nanny. Because various nannies have varying job scope expectations, there is no single “standard” job scope. Some nannies, for example, will undertake housework as part of their job responsibilities, while others will not.

For a seamless confinement period, it is critical to get everyone on the same page.

When looking for a confinement nanny, you can discuss the following confinement job scope examples with your nanny:

• Confinement nanny meal preparation – How many meals per day? Does it include your spouse’s portion as well?
• Brewing of red date drinks
• Brewing of confinement herbs
• Preparation of confinement baths
• What would be included in baby care?
• Do they wash your newborn’s clothes by hand or in the washing machine?
• They will be doing laundry for you. Will they do it for your spouse as well?
• Washing of breast pump & bottle
• Do they clean the kitchen after cooking for you?
• Giving guidance on confinement
• Giving guidance on baby care
• Going on grocery or marketing errands
• Will they be helping with housework?

Mothers will be tired and physically weakened after birth during the first week. By setting the right expectations, it ensures a smoother process. Through confinement nanny services, parents will learn how to care for the baby as part of the package so that they can be independent when the confinement lady leaves. Although serving for only 28 days, the nanny can provide valuable support during the busy times after your baby is born.

Finding a capable confinement lady no longer has to be difficult. From the convenience of your phone, you can find and hire confinement nannies in Singapore who are a good fit for you in just a few simple steps – all through NannyStreet’s app.

There are several reasons why some individuals prefer a part time confinement nanny, the common one being having inadequate space in the house for the nanny. Those who value their privacy may also choose this option.

A part time confinement nanny, also known as a day time confinement nanny, performs similar duties as a regular confinement nanny, except that they are present for a shorter duration. Part time nannies typically arrive between 8am and 5pm OR 9am and 6pm.

As for night time nannies, they can start to work from 9pm to 6am OR 10pm to 7am. You may adjust the schedule slightly to suit your needs, such as having the nanny catch the final few buses to your home and taking the first bus back to their home to sleep in the morning.

During their stay, the nannies will generally help with the cooking, laundry, and looking after the baby. To set the right expectations, you will need to discuss in detail their duties (refer to the Confinement Nanny possible task above).

Apart from the salary, check with them how much is the transport and accommodation allowance. It is best to inquire now rather than later when they’re working for you.

It is important to remember that regardless of whether you hire a regular confinement nanny or a day time nanny, you will still need to give your confinement lady red packets when they enter and leave on the first and last day.

The pool for part time confinement nannies – regardless of day time or night time – is limited, as they would need to find their own accommodations during their service. Furthermore, property landlords are more likely to lease to renters staying for long periods instead of short periods as it is more profitable. As such, part time confinement nannies in Singapore are in short supply.

Apart from that, they would have to spend extra time and cost travelling to your home. Therefore, there is no surprise that the charges for a day time confinement nanny in Singapore are the same or more expensive than a part time nanny.

Looking for a reputable confinement nanny in Singapore doesn’t have to be hard. When you hire a nanny from us, it is the same as hiring a traditional agency, but with a few extra benefits. Download the app now to get access to the greatest nanny options!

Take Pleasure in a Stress-Free Nanny Hiring Process

Unlike traditional confinement nanny agencies, where you have no opportunity to speak with the nanny before confinement begins, you can do so on our platform. Our app has video and voice calling capabilities, allowing you to interview them in real time to see if they are on the same page as you.

You can choose another nanny if the way they talk doesn’t sit well with you. Once you’ve chosen someone you feel at ease with, you may send a text message or leave a voice message to discuss further. All of your conversations are recorded so that you can always refer back to what the nanny has promised you and vice versa.

Discuss with your nanny before committing in regard to termination calculation. If the nanny you picked turns out to be unsuitable for you after a few days on the job, you have the option to terminate them.

At no cost to you, we can help you find a substitute nanny. You only need to pay the filing fee (permit and social visit pass to MOM and an admin fee). A traditional agency will advertise itself as “free replacement,” but the ultimate price will be greater, as there is little transparency involved.

The nanny must have a confinement work permit to be able to work for you. Employing a confinement nanny in Singapore without a valid work permit can result in a fine of $5,000 to $30,000, a year in prison, or both. Offenders face mandatory imprisonment if they are convicted again.

If you have your own confinement nanny, you can even hire us to handle the paperwork. As long as the infant is under 112 days old, you can always use a confinement nanny work visa. It is also possible to use the permit to prolong the nanny’s social visit pass.

A confinement nanny levy after the end of the confinement is mandatory. The cost is an estimated $2/day (total of $56 for 28 days) for a Singapore citizen and $10/day (total of $280 for 28 days) for non-Singaporeans. To pay the levy, login into the Ministry of Manpower’s website with your Singpass. It will then send you a letter in the mail or an SMS with a link to pay the levy.

The current month’s levy will be due on the 8th day of the following month. This is crucial as many employers are kept busy until they forget, neglect, or assume the agency will pay on their behalf. This is not feasible as the requirement of Singpass login restricts access to only the employers.

Your confinement nanny services will be maintained as long as you make timely payments. In the worst-case scenario, you will no longer be able to apply for a babysitter or maid visa. The levy is calculated based on the number of days in a month. As a result, if the permission is revoked, the levy will cease to be charged.
