Hi Fitti, I use to use this local parttime cleaner. she is very very good, however i have a maid now so i', not using her now. She also work for my MIL for the past 10 yrs! I pay he 50 per day. she is at her 50s now so she work a bit slow, but she is very very clean! i usualy gave her a set of my houekey and she will drop by once a week. after she finished her work she will lock the door and go home herself:0 HEr name is Aunty Ya Ching, 63631152, she dont hv a hp, so u can only reach her in the morning say 9.30.
Hope u will like her

 

[fitti]

Thanks so much Amber! Will give her a call soonest. =)

 

[adeline28]

Fitti & Yiwen,
i also went to Joewe to check out b4.. In my opinion, please dun send your kids there.. cos hor, i think they nt really good in taking care of the kids.. I went there and saw the kids loitering around on their own, not much activities and the kids there like in their own world de.. No interaction..

Fitti,
You know where is Sheng siong? Cheries hearts is just at that building..

 

[michellekoh]

Princessdella,

agreed on your point, this is the reason we sending our girl to cheries hearts.

fitti,
currently infant have 4 babies & if one baby sick will spread to others. So far my girl with them 3 1/2moths, so far have minor sick not so serious.

 

[fitti]

thanks princessdella for the feedback. I was concerned after looking at their menu...almost everyday is ikan bilis porridge, no fresh fish or something like that so I kinda striked off that option.

yiwen: I dunno where Sheng Shiong is but I can find out. =) I have to decide by November.

 

[adeline28]

fitti,
u are still on maternity now ah?
where are you staying at exactly?
i juz bought my new house at blk 114 also.. but have been staying at this area for like 10 years liao..

yiwen,
4 is the max number for 1 teacher right?

 

[michellekoh]

princessdella,

yes 4 to 1 is the max. Sometime also have to learn close one eye on their handling method.

Fitti,
According to IFC , they will cook fish & rotate the menu. Let you knoe when my girl start menu.

 

[26erithink]

hi ladies,
was wondering if anyone has tried ELFA @ Serangoon (near the bus interchange, where the old Braddell CC used to be) for infant care? I took a look at it and while it cost about $700/month after subsidy, it looked rather spacious and the programme for infants looked rather reasonable. My little one is coming out somewhere in Sept09, so I'm trying to find a good centre before I have to go back to work next year.

 

[fitti]

princessdella: Not on maternity yet. My EDD is 3rd Dec. My place is along Yio Chu Kang Rd, that is why if go Joewe (Ave 4) is more convenient but really cannot make it lah, they don't cook fish or anything fresh, just ikan bilis porridge everyday, from the menu I was shown.

yiwen: Cherie Hearts cook fresh fish? I will probably go have a look this weekend.

Hello,

I stay at Kovan area, opp the NTUC at Kovan MRT area. I'm new to this forum, hope to get to know more mummies.

My baby girl was pushed out on 5th August, via C-section

See ya,
Mag

 

[michellekoh]

fitti,

Last mth the teacher told me they will have fish. later i check again & let u know.

Congrat mag!

 

[fitti]

yiwen: thanks so much! sekali the fish is ikan bilis. =p

 

[michellekoh]

fitti,

Yesterday check with teacher the menu have fresh fish, ikan bilis, chicken & vegetable.

 

[fitti]

yiwen: Thanks thanks! That's Cherie Hearts right? I am going to visit the centre maybe this evening if we can make it.

 

[michellekoh]

fitti,

have u visit them? Yesterday they mention have a couple visit them and mummy is pregnant

 

[fitti]

yiwen, that wasn't me. I was too tired after work and gynae visit so HB said we visit this saturday instead.

 

[fitti]

yiwen: we went to have a look at Cherie Hearts yesterday. In terms of hygiene and management, it is definitely better than Joewe. Food seems nutritious as well. The only worry fr HB is that he noticed that the playgroups and Kindi classes have "aunties" as their teachers instead so he is worried abt what happens (the learning) after our baby goes up to the older group.

Anyway, thanks so much. =)

 

[michellekoh]

fitti, haha yes, they are "aunties" teacher. But principle May is very good in term of teaching.

[mudpie_cp]

hi mummies

princessdella

shu huang

[mommyshu]

Hi mudpue_cp,

What a coincidence! Mine is a baby girl. How about u? Where r u staying?

 

[mudpie_cp]

shu huang
i'm staying at sengkang. mine also baby girl. where did you give birth? i gave birth at kkh.

 

[adeline28]

mudpie,
long time no chat.. hahaha..
i seldom go into our thread now.. hehehe..
glad to see you here too..
My boy i think adapting quite well, although he will still cry when we send him there.. but once gt activities, he will forget le..

shu huang,
when is your actual EDD? both mudpie and i were from Feb 09 mummies thread..

gayathri,
do you mean giving cereal to your baby?

fitti,
actually auntie teacher also not too bad.. my boy cc teacher in-charge also auntie but i think she is quite gd..

 

[buzzgayu]

hi princess

i meant the nestle cerelac...well but i really dunno if it is available here also but'''

wht do u recommend other than formula for 3 months baby

 

[mommyshu]

Hi mudpie,
I'm staying at paya lebar road. Gave birth at gleneagle. Initially don't plan 2 give birth there but doctor insisted cause mine is emergency n premature, earlier by 1 month.

Hi princessdella,
Actually my actual EDD is 13 march but unfortunately she wants to come out early on 29 jan. If I'm not mistaken I went into January mommy thread but not so active over there.

Hi gayathri,
My doctor mention to me b4 that it's better to wait till at least 5 months for cereal. 3 months is too young, intestine is not fully mature yet, afraid of indigestion.

 

[buzzgayu]

thanks shu.... i shall then wait for now... otherwise she drinks my milk and formula...

 

[mommyshu]

u r welcome gayathri... no rush in giving cereal and solic... at 5th month, u may also give some fruits like papaya and banana..

 

[buzzgayu]

what about fresh juice. just asking

 

[mommyshu]

Anything beside milk need to wait at least 5 month. The best is 6 month. U can intro a bit in the middle of 5th month. Baby's system is only meant to digest milk below 5 month. If u feed too early, the baby may face higher risk of allergy

 

[rojakz]

[contact_mich]

Hi ladies...Michelle here.. I staying at Serangoon Ave 4. My boi is abt 15mths old liao.
Btw, there is going to be a First Skool Infant/Childcare opening in my area. You can check out the website for First Skool (think its by NTUC). The rates are pretty reasonable. Im thinking of sending my boi there once he turns 2yrs old... coz its only next block to my home.

Im so glad that its opening, coz we dun own a car. And those schools that you all mentioned off (Cherie Hearts/ Amazing Star) yes I did consider too. But hard for me to accomodate the distance and timing.

Btw, do you people frequent online shopping for your kids? There is this new site my friends recommend me... can check it out. I bought some clothes there for my friends's baby shower.
