Nanny Requirements

In order to find a nanny suitable for your child, parents would post their own advertisements in facebook groups, forums and classified ads or request for the services from agency. Information such as child’s age, location, time, duration and activities are nanny’s minimum requirements before they can commit to the job. These information are necessary as not all nannies are able to travel to parents’ house especially work from home moms. The work at home moms have their experience with their own children and are happy with taking care of your child for extra income. Another reason is the restriction and unfamiliarity of the place and things kept if they are not babysitting at their own home. Although all nannies should provide a clean and non-smoking environment, some nannies do have pets such as dogs, cats at home. Therefore it is important to highlight your requirements or terms and conditions to the nanny in the very beginning.

Hiring Nanny Cost

The cost in hiring a nanny depends if she is babysitting at their own home or if she needs to travel to parent’s place. Time and duration are consideration factors to Singapore nanny.
