Work Permit for Confinement Nanny

I totally understand the worry, I went through the same confusion when I was arranging for my confinement nanny before my second one was born. What I did was indicate the exact duration I needed her, which was 28 days, so that the permit coverage matched the actual engagement period and I would not be liable beyond that. For the consent letter, my understanding is that even if she has worked in Singapore before, MOM still requires her consent as part of the work permit application process, so it is safer to get it done. I would recommend checking directly with MOM's website or calling them to confirm the latest requirements, as these things can change and you want to make sure everything is properly covered for your own protection. Hope your confinement goes smoothly, you are almost there!
