Just Mums

Is it true that the Philippines embassy is stricter with the helpers quota entering Singapore? My friend's agency kept telling her that and it's been 5 mths and her helper is still not here.

So I read this article http://goo.gl/RwBPOQ about how a baby died in a daycare. She had left the baby for the first time in the day care. When she went to the daycare the baby's lips and the area around his mouth were blue, and the day-care owner was performing CPR on him, incorrectly. This incident has really scared me about the daycare centers. What precautions will I have to take before deciding a daycare center ?

hi mums, I am now 28 weeks pregnant and have to start looking for a full time helper. What should be on my checklist?

A transfer maid or a fresh maid? I am not in a hurry as my baby does not arrive for another two months. What do you recommend?

What plus plus you give your maid over salary? First time hiring, want to know from ladies who know.

What do you pay your maid if she works on a Sunday?

Do food cravings continue post-partum? Or it's just the body saying it needs certain food? I get cravings for carbs and sweet stuff and im not preggers!

Any tips for getting the "ideal" helper? What kind of questions should we ask during the interview? first time mum here... so kinda clueless...... but we want her to help with looking after baby...... thank you!

Mummies help! I am really struggling with getting my helper to engage my children in some activity when i am not around. I don't want them just watching tv. I have two LOs 2 yrs and 4yrs. What do your helpers play with your kids?

Hi mums, I will be getting back to work soon. I have a 5 month old daughter and need to make childcare arrangement for her, for approximately 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. So I want some suggestions from all mums for nannies or daycare. Thanks. Btw I am still confused about daycare.
