Need recommendation
- Thread starter py85
- Start date
Her main job scope is to take care everything of you and your baby that include both the laundry
You can check and test her:-
1. what kind of food they cook for you? cook well depends on individual taste bud.
2. what is pig kidney and vinegar trotters is good for? to test her knowledge of confinement food.
housework is depend on individual CL. Mine, she does help out.
The $1600-$1800 is their wages does not include groceries (provide her at least 1 meal). Daily transport fee, you may want to check with nanny agency for more detail info.
i paid $2000 for my fulltime CL (from malaysian), provide her 3 meals and snacks/teabreak (bread, biscuits etc that available in the house). PAid her the transport fee coz hubby could not fetch her to our home. Ang pao before she starts work and ang pao after she complete her contract.
When i confirmed my CL, she gave me a shopping list, get all things (chinese herbs, dried longnan, red dates... etc) ready.
Hi Caden,

Re: Confinement lady
Hi Lily,
I currently do not have the # on hand but you can contact KK @ 6293 4044 & ask them for the number for a 3 day service whereby the ex-nurse will visit your house to show you how to handle your baby, etc. It costs $150 for 3 days if i remember the price correctly & indeed is very helpful as the ex-nurses works on a volunteer basis & are very experienced. I've used this service when i need help the very next day and she spear-headed a unit before.
This is a suggested option if you're desperate since i do not think a good CL will be available immediately. Need to tell the person picking up your call you need helf urgently. Hope this helps!

Being a first time daddy, I really benefited a lot from this forum, therefore would like to provide some feedback here as well.
I happened to engage Auntie Liqing, and after reading through this forum, here are my own observations:
(1) I was most amazed that she doesn't need to nap during the day at all, that is despite her resting at 10 or 11pm and waking up at 6:30am, not forgetting having to feed/are my BB during the night.
(2) She is popular, hence a lot of people calling her for enquiries, but I have no doubt her priority was with the baby
(3) She ate very little, took bread for breakfast and lunch, and doesn't take the confinement food at all (I think that is why she is so skinny)
(4) She would pay for items for her own consumption, during the trip to the market
(5) Personally I find her cooking not bad, even though I got a bit sick with the confinement food after a while, lots of meat, fish, ginger etc.
(6) She did ask for the taxi fare on day 1, I think that is a custom, wasn't bother too much with it.
(7) I was able to sleep throughout the night, knowing that baby will be attended to whenever he cried
(8) She charged $2.2K, but personally I think it's money well paid, my wife and BB were both well taken care of
(9) She is quite "automatic", would remind us to do the laundry if we forgot
(10) She is not really pro-BF, but she is supportive of my wife's decision
(11) Be prepared that she has to get some other CL to stand in if you EDD is brought forward or backward for whatever reason
All in all, I am satisfied with her service, partly because my BB was born on the EDD date, so no problem with the schedule. Being a first time daddy, I had to rely solely on the feedback from forum before hiring Auntie Liqing, am glad it turned out well.

Hi daddy,

Hi,
I tends to agree with you, although engaing a CL need some luck.
My girlfriend also engage a highly recommned CL here and kenna aeroplane and she ask her so-call good "sister" to stand-in, in the end my gf has 1 mth of terror.
Sometime I think is it the CL themself poisting over here? :err:

Hi Micky 88,
Below please find the list of CL that I found from various forums when we did our research. We hired Aunty Liqing partly because she happened to be available when contacted, some of the aunties were already booked. My suggestion is for you to contact the CL, talk to them personally to make sure you're comfortable before hiring.
eurostar, if the CL knows how to post in forum, I guess she won't be in this industry. My believe is the highly recommended CLs know they are being recommeded in the forum, that give them extra incentives to uphold their service standard.

Hi ALL,
I m currently a mummy of 2 ~ Just had my second baby via cesarean 2 weeks back. I was so worried about finding a bad CL as my first one was a disaster. (I engaged my 1st one through PEM). However, I would strongly recommend my current CL. I found her in this thread, and it was a bet for me. However, I did have a pleasant surprise.
For the past 2 weeks, I m extremely pleased with her services. She takes good care of my baby, cooks well and does the household chores. With her years of experience, she is not only knowledgeable in baby care but in cooking confinement food as well. I am someone who needs variety, n she has no issues with that even though i had cesarean. Supposedly I cant eat much food (chicken n eggs)for first 2 weeks, she still managed to cook a variety of food n soup for me. My 1st CL fr PEM cooked almost the same food everyday, even though I had normal delivery for my first child. And my grandma n mummy always criticised her when they came n visit me on Sats. Amazingly, my grandma n mum have no issue with this current CL as well!
My CL is hardworking n has lotsa initatives. I seldom see her take naps in the noon, although alot of CLs will tell you in adv they need naps in the noons, cause they need to take care of baby at night.. My first son is a fussy n spoilt brat who wants nobody but me n hubby, but she managed to coax him & feed him his meals using toys n patience.
Generally, I am very happy with her, and am extending her service till end of Apr'10. I am recommending her cause I believe every new mummy needs an extra pair of hands n good help esp during confinement! If you need more details n her contact, just drop me an email at babycong1212@@yahoo.com.sg.

A confinement nanny, main chores to take care of your needs, and assist you to recuperate as soon as possible to regain the nutrients you have lost.
She will advise what to eat/not to eat, what to do/not to do,and you might be amazed by the knowledge that she hav, and of cos, some are superstitious, some are myth or so, it depends on oneself whether you want to accept it, but second thoughts, no harm listening! lol
There's a few question you can ask yourself.
You might not be comfortable having a stranger acting like your mum,but end day, there's only pros to you, so far as i know, they are great help, some will even assist some small chores! End day, really need to establish the trust.
Best to just engage a day confinement services.
Confinement services is not cheap, it can goes up to 2k a month. Since expenses after having baby increase, you might need to reconsider on the financial situation
As for my opnion, having someone to take care of everything, will be an absolute yes for me, it save the hassle, less tiring for my folks, and less conflicts with my in-laws. ;p
Having to know one who very experience, copy and paste from friends, so rest assure no agency to rip you off.
"Have been doing freelance housekeeping as well as providing confinement services/babysitting for the past 20years.
My experience includes working as a housekeeper for the Caucasian family in year 2002-2004, since then, i'm babysitting kids between 2months -3yrs old.
Do not hesitate to contact me, so that to explain more in depth what kind of assistance i can provide you."
Cheerios!

hi everyone, you got be careful when getting a CL. I had one a few months ago and she is auntie siang (recommended by some in all different forum). Her cooking is so so only and she will drink your tonic soup and top up with water for you. i witness with my own eyes. and you will be amazed at her eating capacity
True that she has lots of advise but some of it are really ridiculars. example those on BF, she will tell you that the baby cannot drink water cos it will dilute the baby blood and need to change blood after that...
The worst is that she doze off while feeding and burbing the baby at night on a chair.. just imagine what will happen if my baby were to fall down...sometime, when she is tire at night, she just let the baby cry until the baby sleep so that she does not need to do anything...
If you got her, you will need to set aside lots of money to pay for your endless usage of water, electricity and TV... ... and replace of things that are broken...
remember to check her bag before she leave your house, this is one thing i regret not doing, i have a total loss amounting to about $400 plus worth of items.
The above are just some sad experience that i have gone thru and would like to share with all mothers that are looking for CL and does not represent anything or against anyone... ...
enjoy your motherhood... ...
