Aunty Jo has been very helpful during my first days back home after delivery. Her experience have helped me to breastfeed with confidence. She is very genuine and caring providing a strong emotional support. Her care extends to her many dish-variations during mealtimes which nourishes new mum!

Nanny is great at baby care especially when it comes to soothing my baby. She is also very proactive when I require assistance with the baby when guests are around or at night, ensuring I have sufficient rest. As I have a toddler at home, she will care for my firstborn during times when I’m busy...

We had a great experience with Nanny Lay Peng. She helped to take care of baby and mummy. We could get some sleep at night because Nanny took care of baby (including bottle feeding) during the night. She was non-intrusive and respectful of our privacy and was gentle and practical in her approach...

Don’t rely on a bio. Chat with candidates, ask about their cooking style, baby care philosophy, and experience before you commit.
We value transparency. Our “Complaint Radar” and transparent evaluation system ensure nannies maintain their best behavior to protect their reputation.
Others charge hundreds for this. We guide you to apply for the Work Permit yourself in minutes using MOM’s website. It’s simple and saves money.

More Singaporean mothers are now applying for their Malaysian Confinement Nanny's work permit and insurance themselves using their Singpass. Learn how you can confidently handle it yourself too.
Apply Online 4 Weeks Before EDD
Submit the Confinement Nanny's Work Permit application via the MOM website. You will receive an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter in about a week.
Send IPA to the Nanny
Once approved, share the Employee Copy of the IPA with the nanny so she can prepare accordingly.
Nanny Verifies IPA
The nanny checks the IPA's validity using the official MOM portal.
Get Medical Insurance
Purchase at least S$15,000 medical coverage for her employment period, which typically costs ~S$100 including GST.
Notify Nanny After Birth
Inform the nanny once your baby is born so she can proceed with next steps.
Apply for SG Arrival Card
Nanny submits her Arrival Card via the ICA website or mobile app before entering Singapore.
Submit DE Number
She must send you the 'DE Number' from her Arrival Card for immigration processing.
Issue Work Permit After Arrival
Once she arrives, request the final Work Permit issuance from MOM. Apply for a full term (usually 28+ days).
Pay Monthly Levy
As the employer, you are responsible for paying the foreign worker levy monthly until the Nanny's term ends.
A work permit can feel like paperwork until one missing step delays everything. This guide maps the process for mums and nannies, from IPA approval to insurance, levy payment, arrival, and permit issuance.
