Nanny and babysitter arrangements in Singapore have the same MOM regulatory framework as maids — foreign nannies must go through licensed EAs. Quality signals: ECDA-recognised childcare training, current CPR and paediatric first-aid certification, and referenceability from recent families. A bad hire at this age (0-6 years) affects attachment and development, so vetting quality matters as much as cost.

Because Ang Mo Kio is primarily a HDB area, nanny / babysitter jobs here lean toward the issues typical of that property mix. Any provider familiar with homes near AMK Hub will have seen the recurring patterns and can advise on the right fix before quoting.
Look for ECDA-recognised training (Fundamentals in Early Childhood Education or equivalent), plus current CPR and paediatric first-aid certification. For infants specifically, prior hospital or childcare-centre experience matters — a nanny who's cared for 20+ infants reads cues faster. Ask for certificates and reference contacts from 2-3 recent families.
Part-time babysitter hourly: S\$15-28/hour (3-hour minimum). Day-only nanny (10-12 hours, 5 days/week): S\$1,800-3,200/month. Stay-in nanny: S\$2,500-4,500/month. Specialised (twins, high-need): S\$4,000-6,000/month. Add agency fees (S\$1,500-3,500) and MOM levy (S\$60-300/month) for foreign hires.
No — foreign nannies must go through a MOM-licensed Employment Agency. Direct hire is illegal and triggers the same S\$5,000+ fine and 2-year hiring ban as illegal maid arrangements. Singaporean or PR nannies can be hired directly but are much rarer in the market.
Yes — 1-2 week trial periods are standard before committing to longer arrangements. Everyone's different, and a nanny who won't accept trial is either over-committed or suspects the match won't work. Reputable agencies and nannies welcome trials. For stay-in arrangements, even a 3-4 day trial reveals compatibility.
A good nanny walks you through proposed daily routine from first interview — age-appropriate sleep times, feeding schedules, outdoor time, learning activities, screen-time rules. Vague answers ("we'll figure it out") mean the nanny is winging it. Good caregivers have structured routines that adapt to individual children.
