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.
