The Central Singapore zone on KakiList covers Toa Payoh, Bishan, Bukit Timah, Queenstown, Bukit Merah. Most nanny / babysitter providers listed here can reach any of these estates within their usual service window, with travel fees waived or minimal for same-zone bookings.
If you need a rapid response or a provider with deep local knowledge, a specific estate page (linked below) is usually the right call. If you're flexible on timing or happy to compare a wider range of providers, the zone view shows everyone covering your area.
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.
