Babysitting agencies in Singapore

Sorry, me again Blush.

Anyone ever used an agency for babysitters in Singapore? While I wait to find a cleaner/babysitter the nights out are looming...

Thanks as always.

We don't have a live-in maid, so I get my cleaner to babysit for us.

Or, are you in a condo? you could ask around to see if there are any teenagers who could do it or someone else's maid (although this isn't legal)

There are agencies but sorry never used them.

Our babysitter is a nursery teacher from DD2's old school - any nursery teachers you can ask? When DD2 was very little (7 or 8 months old) and DD1 was 4, we used a lady from Innovon who was very good. The agency owner came with her the first time, explained the contract and introduced her etc. She was a nanny during the day, had 20 years of experience and was a grandma herself. Prices were about what we pay our current babysitter $15 / hour, plus $20 for taxi if after midnight....

Thanks girls. papooshka I hope to have the same set-up too but prob is I've not found a cleaner yet. And no willing teens in the condo.

butterflies our 1st babysitter in the UK was his nursery girl, then our cleaner. I'll try the agency you suggest, must be worth a try.

Just seen an advert on the new mothers support group Facebook page for a part time helper / babysitter. You could give her a call and ask about references? Seems she's been here for 10 years.....
