Confinement Nanny: What First Time Moms Need to Know

For first-time moms, the first two months that follow childbirth are trying times where they have to juggle between recovering and caring for their child.
It’s the reason why confinement nannies can be a godsend. In recent years, more moms - whether first-time or not - are discovering the benefits of hiring someone who will help them with the chores while they rest and recuperate.
But, who are these nannies and what exactly do they do? In this article Josian Services, a reputable confinement nanny agency in Singapore shares everything first-time moms need to know about confinement nannies.
What is a confinement nanny?
As the name suggests, confinement nannies are basically someone new mothers engage during the first months after giving birth. They underwent through a series of training and workshops to new mothers make their early days with the baby as easy and as bearable as possible by taking over household chores. Often, they also assist in bathing and feeding the baby, and prepare confinement meals for moms.
The majority of these confinement nannies are Malaysian or Singaporean Chinese who are knowledgeable in preparing TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) herbal soups to that help mothers recuperate. These meals are primarily made with ingredients such as sesame oil, ginger, red dates, wolf-berries, meat, and vegetables.
Why do you need to hire a confinement nanny?
Engaging the services of a nanny is fully optional. However, if you don’t have someone, maybe your mother or mother-in-law, to take care of you, then you can greatly benefit from hiring the professional assistance of a confinement nanny. It speaks particularly true if you’re a first-time mom.
Where to find a confinement nanny?
While most confinement nannies are employed through recommendations from friends and other mothers, an agency can still be the best place to find the one for you. Most confinement nanny agencies in Singapore like Josian Services do the labour by screening potential nannies and making sure that your options match your specific needs and requirements.
In this manner, you will also be protected with a contract that will detail the services, charges, and terms of breaching of contract.
How much does it cost to hire a confinement nanny?
The fee for a confinement nanny can vary greatly. But, on average, you can expect to shell out anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000 for a month if you’re hiring a full-time, stay-in nanny. A daytime confinement nanny on the other hand often costs about $1,500 to $3,200 for 28 days.
Of course, the costs can still depend on the following considerations:
Is she required to cook for the rest of your family?
Is your home big?
Did you give birth to twins?
Is the nanny hospital-trained?
These factors can further hike up the price for a nanny. So, it’s best to discuss these beforehand before hiring one.
