“We are so thankful to have Aunty Annie for our confinement. Aunty Annie was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring, and coached not just us but our family on how to take care of the baby. She provided practical tips including things to purchase (or not), packing of diaper bag and many others. She made sure both mom and dad were well rested, and we felt so assured with her taking care of the baby 24/7. She was an absolute joy to have in our home for the past 28 days, and we have truly learnt a lot from her. Thank you aunty, we will miss having you around!”

We are extremely satisfied and happy with Nanny Michelle (CA 301). She was with us from day one of baby arrival from hospital till the baby turned 2 months old. During this time, we found her extremely reliable, caring, supportive and well trained professional. Nanny Michelle is highly experienced handling infants and caring for new born babies like her own! She is a natural at making babies comfortable. I’d like to call her a Baby Whisperer. Everytime my baby was cranky, the moment she went to Aunty Michelle, she calmed down. At times in life, when a lot is happening and you are entering a new phase in life and things look overwhelming, Aunty Michelle makes lives of us new parents so easy. She also gives complete privacy and is a no nonsense nanny, which is very much required. I highly recommend her!

Aditi

Being first time parents, we were naturally nervous when we brought our baby boy home from hospital. Aunty Helly from confinement angels had been so patient guiding both myself and my hubby, sharing with us the knowledge, without making us feel stressful. When she left, we feel confident handling our baby ourselves. She is excellent with our boy, which gives us a peace of mind when she handles him. Her cooking is top of the world! Everyday we look forward to her dishes. We love having her around as she is very positive around the house despite all the chores, little sleep during the stay. Thanks alot to confinement angels, our consultant Trudy who addresses my queries well and prompty, and especially Aunty Helly, she is world class. Grateful.

Zoeline

Kathy is a truly wonderful confinement nanny – providing all-hours support, delicious and nutritions fresh meals each day, guidance, and care. We deeply appreciate Kathys devotion to both our daughters, having supported us with our first daughter Gia, and again now with our second daughter Ava. She gave our girls so much love and kindness during the newborn months. For me as a Mother, Kathy was great company especially during the feeds. She made me laugh, and helped through many challenging moments. What a blessing! Kathy feels part of our family. She is a gem. With her help and guidance, we are well prepared for the next stage. Kathy, we will miss you so much! You have a special place in our hearts.

Siew Foong meets all the requirements we are looking for in a confinement nanny. She is very attentive to baby’s needs which gave us the assurance that baby is in good hands.

She takes great care of me too, shares the dos and don’t with me and makes sure i have adequate rest. Her confinement food is superb, and i always look forward to meal times! she is also very encouraging when it comes to my breastfeeding journey.

Thank you Siew Foong! Words are not enough to express our gratitude towards your support to our family. You are a must have nanny even for experienced mummies!

Santosh & Ping

Nanny Pearlyn was so so helpful during my confinement period. Not only as she experienced in handling infants, she did not hold back in sharing her knowledge with us. She guided us along patiently; taught us how to calm a crying baby, when and how to put baby to sleep, how to shower our baby, gave our baby a daily routine to follow (so things are more predictable) and the list goes on. These were things we either had absolutely no idea about or struggled to do before.

Not only was she great with our baby, she took extremely good care of my well-being as a new mother. She made delicious dishes (rarely repeats any of the dishes) and when she knew I had trouble with my milk supply for breastfeeding, she took the initiative to help me look for someone who could do lactation massage within a short notice.

She was also personable and friendly and got along with everyone in the house. It was such a pleasure to have her with us this past month and we can’t thank her enough!

Nanny Moi Leng is truly a 6* nanny. She took control of our home and the kitchen, even before we arrived home from the hospital, and up to the finish. She is extremely dedicated in taking care of the infant, day and night and we fully trust her in the systems we improved upon, (this is our second child, so we do have some experience).

Nanny Moi Len is an excellent chef whipping up traditional confinement, hakka and event western meals. We await the surprise in store for us everyday. She is also always willing to adapt and learn from our ways, our tastes and exchange of ideas to get the best solutions.

She is truly an ideal nanny and we had tried multiple times to extend her stay with us but due to a the situation, the agency did not allow this. We are sad to see her leave but we are also glad that another couple will be able to fully experience that help, dedication and professionalism she delivers. We wish her all the best and are grateful for having her in our home.

Thank you CA Linda & Aunty Kee for a smooth and pleasant confinement experience! We are very satisfied with Aunty Kee that was assigned to us.

From day 1, Aunty has been very attentive in taking care of baby and mummy needs. We simple love her enthusiasm & patience in taking care of our newborn (She would often dash to our kid whenever he makes a fuss!). With her around, I was able to rest well and recover fully from my postnatal surgery. Oh yes not to mention, she is also a great cook too!

We highly recommended her service to anyone considering to hire a nanny. Our only regret is that we are unable to extend her due to her high popularity!

Nanny Swee Kooi is truly a baby whisperer who can identify every baby cue and handles baby care effortlessly. She prioritises our baby’s needs and does what is best for baby even if it requires more effort.

She taught us effective baby care techniques and her clear instruction make it easy for first time parents like us to learn quickly.

Nanny Swee Kooi is meticulous, committed and holds herself to high standards. She cooks delicious confinement food which are also Instagram worthy. We have friends and relatives asking for Nanny Swee Koi’s reference number after we shared our confinement experience with them. We will definitely get Nanny Swee Koi for our future confinement and hopefully she has time for us out of her busy schedule.

Charlie

We had a very good 28 days with Li Juan (Li Ken). Other than caring for our newborn, she also took very good care of us.

She adapted to our home environment very quickly and prepared all necessities like red date tea, herbal bath etc on the first day despite only arriving in the noon. Her cooking skills are also superb, we look forward to all meals including breakfast everyday.

Being first time parents, we weren’t sure what to expect and were pretty clueless. Li Juan taught us alot on how to manage newborn and gave us alot of tips. She’s very patient and caring, vary tactful with her words and always encouraging. Most importantly, she’s very good with our baby boy and really cares for him.

With her around we feel really at ease.

We are extremely grateful and thankful to be assigned Li Juan.

Thank you Ah May for being the best help we can every ask for during the 28 days of confinement.

She has taken great care of not only our newborn and also our elder son especially on time where I am engaged in pumping, latching and in order for me to eat peacefully. Not forgetting the variety of confinement food she whips up daily ensuring I take in a balanced diet and ensuring that I avoid food that will affect my newborn & milk supply since I am breastfeeding.

She is always smiley and available to help and give advice. She is attentive to the needs of both my newborn and myself ensuring that both of us are well taken care of during the confinement period.

Ah May has really made my confinement worry-free and thus allowing me to rest more. So sad that she will leaving our household soon ): But glad that another mommy would be able to benefit from her service!

Really enjoyed her company during this confinement!

Thank you Confinement Angels for sending an angel to us, Ah May is truly a gem to the company!

Taking care of the baby Mdm Jong Soong Moi is a responsible individual and carried out her duties professionally. She takes care of the baby really well during her stay with us. She keeps track of the behaviour of our child by taking notes (eg. Number of meals per day, quantity, time). She also helped to keep a close look out on our child’s condition and was very concerned with the child’s jaundice level. She is consistent in making sure that our child consume adequate milk to flush out the jaundice. She really took care of the baby like a family would do. I didn’t have to worry about her taking care of our child! She would also give pointers to my wife and myself in taking care of our child. Household Duties Mdm Joong is good in her culinary skills and was able to satisfy my family’s palette. She would usually serve (in dishes) 1 vegetable, 1 meat and 1 soup. On top of that, she also prepared tonics for my wife with the ingredients given to her as she would be able to cook a decent meal with a variety of styles. After meals, she would make sure the kitchen is clean and dishes were washed. Very systematic and she plans her day quite well while suiting our schedules. Sometimes when we needed to bring out child to doctor for appointment, she would prepare necessary items such as milk bottles, milk powders, hot water promptly before we leave the house. Personality Mdm Jong is a professional individual who is able to work flexibly in taking care of baby she is assigned. She is really very cheerful and caring to the family. She is willing to pass on advice and go for an extra mile to help us. I am sure that with her flexibility, she would be able to assist any household she is assigned to!

Andy

This is my 2nd time working with Confinement Angels! First of all, I would like thank my agent – Linda is a very responsible and friendly lady who is always there to help. Understand that due to the opening of borders and many nanny went back for break; there was a sudden shortage of manpower, but we know that we can count on her and we will be in good hands despite of the challenging situation. True enough, Linda managed to get Meihui Ah yi (C025) for my confinement.

We are really very blessed to get Meihui Ah yi to take care of my baby Jaycee and I for the past two months. Meihui Ah yi is very diligent, dedicated and passionate in her duties. We can tell by just seeing how she do her work or when interacting with the newborn.

Caring for baby~ Meihui Ah yi handles baby with great care and treat her like a little gem! She sings for her during bath time, dress her up on days, chit chat with baby a lot and always have her way to handle a cranky baby, I am a pro breastfeeding mummy and Ah yi is also very supportive. Every night, she had to carry her over to my room at an interval of 2-3 hrs for feeding. At times when the baby do not sleep right after the feed, she still smile and coax her tirelessly.

Caring for mummy~ Ah yi always take care of my needs and ensure that I get plenty of rest. She care for me genuinely and we get along very well! On many long boring nights while I breastfeeding the baby, she will accompany me and share lots of stories or life experiences with me which helps alot as I felt less fatigue and time pass fasters.

Besides that, Meihui Ah yi always goes beyond her job scope. Not only does she take good care of baby and me, she also cook nice confinement food for me and my family. I am a vegetarian and it is her first time cooking vegetarian meals. Although it’s not her expertise, she make an effort to learn and explore nice vegetarian dishes online to ensure I enjoy all my meals. Many times, she also offer to cook for the family or teaches my helper to cook nutritious meals for my 2 elder kids. Whenever she is free, she also play or hug my 2 kids and my children likes her very much. And we even teared on her last day with us!

Thank you Mei hui Ah yi for assisting us and making my confinement a smooth and enjoyable one!

We will definitely miss you dearly!

FAQ

How does a confinement nanny help me?

Your domestic helpers and maids may sometimes be ill-equipped with the necessary skills to look after a new born. You may wish to entrust the job to someone who has expertise in the area of baby care. Leaving the job to your mother or mother-in-law may not be wise as their baby care skills might not be as polished, and also such a huge responsibility could prove too tiring for them at their age. Looking after yourself and your new born alone could be very tiresome, as you might not be able to rest adequately which could in turn affect your health and well-being.

A confinement nanny could provide you with the assistance you need. Besides being hospital-trained to take care of your new born, she will be able to prepare nutritional dishes recommended for mothers who have just given birth. She will show you the right way of looking after your baby with useful baby care techniques. Furthermore, a confinement nanny guides you through with advice of what should and should not be taken during this period, and provides you with nourishing food to ensure you recover well.

Should I hire a freelance nanny myself or should I engage a Confinement Angel / Nanny instead?

The advantage of engaging a pool of Confinement Angels/Nannies is that we make all the arrangements from start till the nanny arrives, putting you at ease by taking on the responsibility of scheduling you a nanny. Regardless of when your delivery date might be, we ensure that you are provided with a professionally-trained nanny. Our dedicated team will provide you with the most support and assistance during this crucial period, when utmost care has to be given. Services like the replacement of a nanny are available for you, if necessary.

In contrast, hiring a freelance confinement nanny runs the possibility of her not being able to turn up when:

You deliver earlier than your estimated due date, and she is still working.
She is sick.
She has some personal issues to handle back at her hometown.

When a freelance nanny does not turn up:

You may panic at the last minute, and there is a high possibility that you may not be able to find any help.
Your deposit sum given to her may not be recovered.

When is the best time to engage a nanny?

There has been increasing demand for nannies from Confinement Angels. Thus, we recommend that you book a nanny at least 6 months before your estimated delivery date (EDD). Doing so as early as possible ensures a nanny at your availability.

In the event of a miscarriage or pregnancy, you are entitled to a full refund of your payment. A doctor’s certification will need to be provided.

Can I choose a nanny?

We will try as best to match you to your nanny profile, and requirements as close as possible. Our pool of nannies function on a full-time basis, and run on packed schedules. Hence, their engagement with clients are largely managed on a timetable system.

Will you arrange an experienced nanny for me?

You can be assured that all our Confinement Angels/Nannies are highly experienced. Being awarded with a constant flow of assignments ensure that our nannies are able to maintain their skills, and gain invaluable experience. This makes the nannies adaptable and flexible in different working environments, as they stay attached with different families. This way, new clients can also be assured of a high level of trust and experience from our pool.

What is the quality of your nannies?

Regular feedback is collected from our customers, and are reviewed carefully. All nannies from Confinement Angels also undergo rigorous training and are given sufficient work to ensure that they are always confident in caring for you and your baby.

Through this system, we are able to:

Recognize the efforts put in by the nanny.
Improve the overall standard of service of the company and the nannies.
Re-evaluate the performance of the nanny after every assignment.

Why do some agencies offer prices lower than the market rate?

Some agencies may not invest sufficiently in a proper baby handling training system and the services provided to their customers may not be consistent in standard; thus, they are unable to get consistent repeated referrals.

There are also unlicensed agencies operating illegally. They tend to persuade clients to save on the government levy by refusing to apply for the work permit otherwise required for the nanny to begin providing her services.

How do I find out whether a company is licensed by the Ministry of Manpower?

It is against the law for any unlicensed confinement nanny agencies and/or housewives operating from home to provide such services. Strict rules are put in place by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to safeguard you.

Some guidelines to follow are:

Always ask for the employment agency license number (EA no.***).
Verify against the MOM website to ensure that the EA no.*** and the name of the company given are the same.
Practise discretion and do not engage a company or anyone who claims that they are operating under a borrowed licensed name.

*** EA no. is different from Business Registration Number. A Business Registration Number is obtained from ACRA to start a business. However, for certain types of commerce such as confinement nanny agencies, the government will issue a special license authorising them to operate.

Can I employ a Malaysian confinement nanny without a work permit, who comes in just by a social visit pass?

On 5th July 2002 , new government regulations were imposed which state that all employers who employ confinement nannies from Malaysia regardless of friends or relatives, paid or unpaid, will have to apply for a work permit for them.

Offenders who breach this rule will face penalties for employment of foreign workers without work permits. Please refer to the MOM website for more information.

Why does one still employ Malaysian confinement nannies without a work permit?

Some people might not be aware that nannies require a work permit before they can start work. Others are treading on thin ice and hoping not to get caught. If caught, one could face a fine or be prohibited from engaging foreign maids in the future.

Yet others feel that the work levy for maids is too expensive, which is why they decide to hire a nanny without a work permit. However, the amount is just S$2.00 per day for the care of a new born Singaporean and S$9.00 for the care of a new born of a foreign nationality.

Why are some Malaysian confinement nannies willing to work without a work permit?

Chances of a full-time qualified nanny risking her career to work without a permit is very slim. If her passport is filled with social visit endorsements, the likelihood of raising suspicion that she might be working illegally is much higher.

Even then, there are nannies who still take the risk and choose to work without a work permit. These nannies usually have no financial commitments and do so just to pass time. With as little as 2 to 3 assignments a year, there are fewer chances of them being caught.

One deterring factor against these nannies is that they are usually not too flexible and are not as experienced as full-time nannies.

Other reasons nannies are willing to take the risk might be because:

Ministry of Manpower sets an age limit to apply for a work permit. These nannies might not qualify to apply for a work permit in this case.
They are blacklisted by the Ministry of Manpower due to various reasons, i.e. criminal record etc.

An experienced confinement nanny would not put herself at a disadvantage by working illegally. She will expect her employer to apply for a work permit for her as she does not wish to put her career on the line or face any penalties (fine, jail or banned from coming to Singapore).

If there is a need, will I get a replacement nanny?

Our nannies are highly equipped and capable in carrying out their duties effectively. That said, we are aware that different families will have different requirements. Expectations will vary. Therefore, we will provide a free replacement of nanny if you choose to make a switch.

Can I request for the nanny who was previously used by my friend?

You are allowed to choose the same nanny and your requests will be placed as a top priority. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, please be prepared that there might be changes to the nanny assigned.
