The new normal has brought about many changes in all our lives with one of the biggest changes being virtual everything — from meetings, lessons to even weddings. But if you are expecting a newborn, then you know a human touch cannot be replaced. With strict entry restrictions, hiring a foreign confinement nanny in Singapore can be extra challenging during this period. That’s not to say it’s impossible, though!

If you’re pregnant and want to explore hiring a nanny (daytime ones included), we’ve done the homework on some of the best confinement nanny services in Singapore. Many agencies are also offering day time confinement nanny services as an alternative for stay-in nannies who are seeing a surge in demand during this time. But first things first, do you need a confinement nanny? What do they do and most importantly why are they so expensive?

Why you’ll need a confinement nanny

Let’s be honest, you’ll definitely require plenty of support and help in the first month after delivery. If you’re a first-time mummy, chances are, you’ve heard about confinement nanny services in Singapore. In a nutshell, confinement nannies are hired to guide new mothers in taking care and nursing newborns. They also take care of mummies too1 These nannies are armed with time treasured knowledge of cooking nutritious foods and have years of experience in handling a child. Most confinement nannies can also stay in your home during the confinement period and some even do basic cleaning of the house.

Couples choose to hire a stay-in confinement nanny for the recommended 28 days although you can hire them for a shorter period or on a part-time basis. Full-time, stay-in nannies will obviously cost more. Coupled with that, since many of the nannies are Malaysians, you’d have to factor in a levy charge and application for a work permit.

*The rates included are for full-time, stay-in/stay-out confinement nannies for 28 days. Be sure to enquire with the agencies if you require more information.

*[2020 Update]: Employers looking to hire foreign nannies must be willing to pay for and adhere to these precautionary measures for confinement nannies. These costs are excluded from the costs we have provided below (unless otherwise stated). Do also note that work permit application fees may also have to be incurred.
