NannyStreet is the first confinement nanny digital platform in Singapore aimed at connecting parents-to-be with an experienced pool of confinement nannies.
NannyStreet allows parents-to-be to communicate and negotiate directly with potential confinement nannies via text messaging and voice/video calls on the platform regarding the job scope and pricing. Once an agreement has been reached, the parents will have to pay for the nanny’s deposit to confirm the arrangement.
Since launching the app in August 2022, NannyStreet has already helped 619 users and onboarded over 300 experienced confinement nannies on the platform. Each confinement nanny that comes on board has undergone a strict screening process and background checks.
For example, the platform only accepts nannies with a minimum of 3 years of work experience and who have worked in Singapore before while possessing a good understanding of the local culture.
NannyStreet runs stringent checks for confinement nanny applicants based on their job records from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and will check for any red flags to ensure the quality of the confinement nannies available on their platform.
NannyStreet app is free to download, and designed to ease parents’ experience in looking for a trusted confinement nanny to guide them in this chapter of their parenting journey. By utilising the platform, parents can skip the tedious administrative paperwork such as handling permit applications, social visit pass extensions, and confinement nanny insurance.
How to Use NannyStreet
There are 3 simple steps for parents-to-be to be matched with their ideal confinement lady:
Step 1: Parents-to-be must submit the estimated due date (EDD) and fill in their confinement nanny criteria.
Step 2: After the initial screening, parents-to-be will get to interview shortlisted confinement nannies to negotiate job descriptions, compensation, and any other special requests to ensure that both parties are in agreement. Parents can communicate directly with the potential confinement nannies via text messaging, voice or video call using NannyStreet’s platform.
Step 3: Once an agreement has been reached and an offer has been made, the confinement nanny’s deposit will be paid by credit card by the parents-to-be to secure the arrangement.
“Based on our experience in the confinement nanny industry, we noticed that parents-to-be found it challenging to search for a reputable nanny at an affordable price. Through NannyStreet, we aim to create a platform to help parents-to-be have easy access to experienced nannies with stellar records.
Like how people associate Airbnb for accommodation, Grab for transportation and Foodpanda for food delivery, our aim is for NannyStreet to be the leading platform for hiring trusted and top-quality based in Singapore confinement nanny,” said Bradley Loi, Co-Founder of NannyStreet.
NannyStreet Testimonials
Past customers who’ve experienced the platform have also taken to the app to share their testimonials from their own experiences with their respective nannies.
"I feel extremely lucky and appreciative of the support that Aunty Gui Lan has provided me and my family during my confinement period, thanks to the NannyStreet app. Her experience, care, and accommodating nature have made a significant impact on me, my baby, and our overall well-being.
Additionally, Aunty Gui Lan has taught me some new approaches to managing my baby, despite being a second-time mother. I am sincerely grateful and will miss her, especially my baby, who can only communicate with her using her unique baby language. Thank you so much, Aunty Gui Lan and NannyStreet team!" raved Shukie, a NannyStreet customer.
“I recently had twins, and we engaged a short-term confinement nanny from NannyStreet. Ann helped to set everything up, such as rearranging the baby room and creating a menu prior to our return from the hospital. She helped us feel at ease and treated our babies just like her own.
We learned a lot about handling and looking after newborn babies while she was with us,” shared Fiorelle Amore, a NannyStreet customer.
“As a first-time mum, I am thankful to engage Stephany as our confinement nanny. She helped cook delicious meals and stayed by my side to teach me the ropes of caring for a newborn,” expressed Xiao Qian, a NannyStreet customer.
The digital marketplace also allows parents to match and hire various types of services besides confinement nannies, such as stay-in babysitting, maid hire, prenatal and postnatal massages and more.
