Whether you are a first-time mum or a mum of many, having a new baby is a beautiful yet challenging experience. In the past, mums often had their own mothers helping out with a new baby, especially during confinement. But now, more and more mums are turning to a confinement nanny in Singapore to help them out, especially in the first month.
Who is a confinement nanny, and what does she do?
A confinement nanny in Singapore is usually an older woman well-versed in traditional Chinese confinement practices.
Considered to be an expert, she cares for a mum’s and her newborn’s needs during the one-month confinement period.
Apart from her primary role of caring for mum and baby, a confinement nanny also:
- Bathes baby every day.
- Feeds baby with expressed breast milk if mum chooses to do this, especially in the night.
- Looks after baby in general so mummy can rest.
- Cooks traditional, nourishing confinement dishes for the new mum.
- Washes baby’s clothes and milk bottles.
Needless to say, a good confinement nanny in Singaopore can truly be a blessing to a mum, whether new or experienced.
The question running through your mind right now probably is, “Where and how do I find the perfect confinement nanny?”
You just may have found your answer with CaregiverNanny.
“A confinement nanny with you each baby step of the way.”
CaregiverNanny is a service brought to you by CaregiverAsia, a trusted healthcare services company based in Singapore and with operations in Malaysia and the USA since 2014.
Due to numerous requests, CaregiverAsia now provides confinement nanny services, adhering to their philosophy of providing full transparency (bios, work experience, and references) of their caregivers so that you can make a well-informed decision.
Sourced with care
Freelance nannies provided by CaregiverNanny are sourced from both Singapore and Malaysia. CaregiverNanny currently has over 150 experienced nannies on their database.
To give you extra peace of mind, all confinement nannies undergo a strict interview with CaregiverAsia staff who have worked as recruiters in large Singapore government hospitals.
Additionally, you can find reviews of the nannies online at the company’s website. You are also encouraged to provide your own review at the end of the nanny’s service.
Booking your nanny
It doesn’t get any simpler to book your perfect confinement nanny in Singapore! There are just four easy steps to do this.
- Search and book your desired nanny based on your expected delivery date and preferences.
- When you have found your perfect nanny, you’ll get to meet or call her.
- To confirm and book your nanny, pay the agency fee (see below) and then let the Caregiver Nanny take care of the paperwork for you.
- When your baby arrives, your nanny will be sent to your doorstep!
How much will it cost?
CaregiverNanny can charge more than SGD$600 (with a possible SGD$120 surcharge for urgent bookings for nannies to start within 30 days).
This may include advice on picking a nanny, arranging interviews with the chosen nanny candidate(s) and the paperwork for getting visas for the nanny, should she be from Malaysia.
Full-time or part-time
CaregiverNanny provides both full-time and part-time confinement nanny services. If you prefer to have a full-time nanny, you can have either day-care or overnight nanny services, depending on your needs.
For day-care service from Monday to Friday, a nanny can be arranged to babysit at your place or take your baby to the nanny’s place.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a part-time nanny, you can request this service for a few hours (minimum four hours block) each day for at least three times a week, be it at home, a hotel, or a serviced apartment.
When should I book my confinement nanny?
We recommend booking a nanny of your choice for at least three to six months. Ideally, before your estimated delivery date. This is because of the increasing demand for CaregiverNanny’s services.
However, a few nannies are available to start urgently, i.e., within a month, and you can check out their profiles on the CaregiverNanny website.
What’s more, ad-hoc part-time nanny services can be requested via email at least one day in advance.
If you find that the nanny doesn’t meet your requirements, a free nanny replacement will be made within the first five days.
