Home Nanny Services In Singapore

Hi, I am posting on behalf of my mum as she is not superbly good in English writing and online communities. She is a seasonal nanny with 3 Grown Up Children (40 years old - eldest). She is skilled in taking care of new born babies for mum who needs to get back to work after maternity leaves. She is presently looking after a 16 months old toddler and will be available starting April. If you are looking to put up your baby at nanny’s place while at work and is staying around Sengkang area, you may contact her (Aunty Agnes) via WhatsApp or call at 83996598. #babysitter #nannyforbaby #newmom #singapore #sengkang

Am I overreacting or..?

Quick story - husband and I not in and we have family member take care of 6MO LO for a few days. Family member knows LO drink n sleep pattern etc and came over to our place help take care LO overnight. Initial arrangement is MIL will come over to our place to help take care of LO during day so the fam member can go rest. Even if wanna take care overnight - also must be at our place. However last min MIL told family member that she wanna bring LO to her home n take care. So bottle warmer/expressed breast milk etc she bring it over to their home and will return LO the next day. MIL didn’t inform us at all until we heard it from the family member. Felt so upset by it.. and my husband confronted my MIL through phone. MIL got hurt and mentioned that she specially took leave to take care of LO.. I’m upset becos they didn’t inform us..n hence husband called to confront her.. am I overreacting .. after a while we agreed that it’s okay for LO to stay overnight just that next time inform us. All is good. But evening, was informed that she transported everything and bring LO back to my place and will stay overnight at our place instead (maybe she felt guilty?) This way I was even more upset…. Transporting my frozen breast milk here n there and all the stuffs. Ughh.. am I overreacting sigh.. I do appreciate her good intention to take care of LO..

MIL wants my baby to call me MAMA

Does any of your MIL (chinese) likes to call herself Mama to your baby? Typically for chinese the grandmother at father side is called Ah Mah. But she double the last word to make it sound Mama. I have been very uncomfortable with it and have voiced out my frustration to my hubby. But he dismissed it as he thought its just a small and stingy issue. I also couldn't possibly say it in her face to say Stop asking baby to call u Mama as I don't dare. Somemore she is taking care of my baby 24/7 hence I'm scared that my baby really call her mama next time. What should I do?

Allowance for taking care of baby

Hello! Just curious how much you guys give to relative / nanny for taking care of baby? Currently LO 3MO. We initially wanted government infant care when my ML ends but till now still no slot available (applied since 6 months ago lol). For private there is slot but it's around 2k + without subsidy. My mom suggested that she can help to take care and also wanted to take a break from work while we wait for infant care. So she quit her job and will start helping us soon. Btw she is only 54 this year.. Her boss allows her to go back anytime. She is taking around 2.1k before cpf. Initially, I quoted $800-$1k for her to take care of LO. Do note that she will be coming to our place daily (only mon to fri, PH and weekend excluded as we will take care baby ourselves) as our workplace is nearby (20mins via public transport hence not wise to travel all the way to mom place in the north to drop baby n go work - we no car btw).. She doesn't need to buy baby stuff as we will provide, and she doesn't need to do housework or cook as we have a helper and meals will be cooked for her. We also make sure there will always be food at home. My husband suggested 1.5k..he mentioned that he had rather let family member take care than sending infant care.. Hence we are gonna pay her that rate.. My mom did mention before that she has got no cpf if she helped us, + she is taking a pay cut.. but she also said any amount that's comfortable for us as money isn't an issue, and she really loves her grandchild. Just a note that my siblings and I give her allowance monthly and on top of that, my siblings help her to top up CPF. I'm just thinking if 1.5k is too much? Not sure of what is current nanny rate n their job responsibilities.
