About Empowa

Pregnancy and parenthood resource platform in Singapore.

Empowa handles a steady flow of Nanny / Babysitter requests. That focus shapes how they quote — expect practical questions about the scope of work and the property before any figures are discussed.

Empowa covers all of Singapore, which is useful if you live in a less-central estate or need a provider that can follow a recurring job to different addresses. The business is KakiList-verified, meaning a real person has confirmed the operating details and contact channel. Google reviewers currently give Empowa a strong average of 5/5 across 17 reviews, which is a reasonable signal of consistency for a childcare provider.

The practical way to decide on Empowa is to message them directly with a short job description, property type, and any relevant photos. Direct contact means no platform middleman and usually a faster response than form-based lead submissions.

Is Empowa legit?

Likely yes — Empowa has some trust signals, but always confirm the quote in writing before making payment.
  • Verified by KakiList
    We cross-check listed businesses against Singapore's official ACRA registry before marking them as verified.
  • 5/5 from 17 Google reviews
    Google reviews are harder to fake than testimonials on a provider's own website because each reviewer has an auditable Google account.
  • 📍
    Operating islandwide
    A provider listing specific coverage zones is more credible than a vague "all of Singapore" claim, because it implies real scheduling and logistics.

Kathy is the ultimate legend for all new mums as she comes waving her magic wand of relevant information and resources to support your journey into motherhood. I first met Kathy through her amazing Pregnant and Popped fair, a beautifully curated marketplace of local businesses catering to pre and postnatal family needs. (I highly recommend attending this if you haven’t already). Since then, I leveraged Kathy’s help as prepared to go back to work after the birth of my first child. She came armed with a lot of practical advice, insights and guidance to address a lot of the questions and apprehensions I had as a new mum. With her help, we were able to establish a strong routine that set the stage for a very structured approach to the day that left me feeling more at ease and in control of the situation. She continued to check-in post our session to ensure I felt supported through the transition. Kathy's warmth, her care and her incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise make her a really ‘empowa’-ring partner in the amazing journey to motherhood – I can’t recommend her enough.

Kathy has helped us so much with our transition into a family of four! Every time she came over felt like such a blessing. Kathy brings a sense of calm and warmth with her that is very reassuring. Every visit we would have a chat about how everything was going and during those chats, Kathy always had helpful suggestions on how to handle things. Even though this was our second baby, we have learned a lot from her which made us feel more informed and relaxed about parenthood. And Kathy is just such a joy to have around in your house with her clear love for our babies and the work she is doing! We are so glad we had Kathy around and we could not recommend her highly enough.

Kathy has been my absolute rock during the fourth trimester with my first child. Having a baby during a global epidemic with no family around would have been so much harder without her constant support. She has been the person I have turned to every step of the way whether that was for practical or emotional support, or general advice and problem solving as my baby has been changing and developing. She is a great source of knowledge and can’t do enough for you. I am so grateful to have had Kathy recommended to be and couldn’t recommend her more to any other mums out there!!

I have had the pleasure of being a partner for Kathy's Pregnant & Popped event. THE baby fair for Mums, carefully curated by Kathy, bringing together all of the perinatal experts that a mum or mum-to-be could need. She is so caring, so full of energy, so giving and so knowledgeable about all things motherhood. Thank you for everything that you do!

I wished I had Kathy with me for my first newborn! She not only has the knowledge but also a great personality, a great person to have your back during the fourth trimester. She totally gets new mums (mentally, emotionally and physically) and she provides the right support with no judgement!! She is like a baby whisperer where she helps to clarify all the mysteries of a newborn. If you are looking for a “professional nanny”, she is the one I would definitely recommend!

How much does Nanny / Babysitter from Empowa cost?

Typical Nanny / Babysitter jobs in Singapore start from S$15/hr, but the final price depends on the scope of work, property type, and how urgent the job is.

Yes — Empowa is verified by KakiList. We check each listed business against public Singapore business records before it appears as verified on the site.

How quickly can Empowa start a job?
