How much are you paying for confinement nanny ?

We have finally finalised our confinement nanny for baby due in Oct’21. The amount quoted to us is 3500 nanny’s salary + 1100 agency fees. It excludes red packets, levy fees, and meal allowance (we are vegetarian household). So we are approximately expecting around 5K SGD of total expense. Just want to know how much have you paid in total in pre-covid times, and how much are you paying in covid times. This is our 1st baby, so don’t know if we are overpaying or not. Thanks !! #1stimemom #advicepls

I'm going with PEM agency. my due date is in Feb 22. total package costs me $5k (nanny's salary + agency fees). but out of the $5k, $1k is CNY surcharge (coz mine will cross over cny), and another $200 for having stairs at home. So it seems the actual package would have been $3.8k for nanny's salary and agency fees.

I think your price is way too expensive. Which agency is yours? I signed in Feb 21’ due in August 21’ and paying $3.3k. Mine is with PEM. And I agreed that their services are bad nowadays (since June) when we tried to contact them.

im paying 6k via confinement angels for baby due 2022, inclusive of cny surcharge and handpicked 6☆ nanny. the cny surcharge itself hit us back about 1.4k. from what i know, if it is not cny baby, it should be about high 3k to 4k.

Paid 3.5k for nov due date. Signed contract in end May and they did mention that the price will increase to 3.8k if I still don’t sign by then. But I haven’t finalized which nanny I’m getting yet though. Which agency did u engage?

Yes total amt.

I paid almost 7k with star confinement but that’s cos I’m extending to 2 months instead of 1! A hefty sum but we feel like we really will need all the help we can get when baby comes 😔
