Me me! I want a standardise method in caring for my child so I didn't enrol my mum's help at all. When I went back to work after 3mths maternity, I passed the role to my helper. We engaged her a month or 2 before I deliver so that can get more familiar. Our criteria in choosing one is above 30 to mid thirties and has a child of her own. She makes confinement much better as I don't need to do household chores.

My hubby made the same comments as u as he said if really hire maid to care for bb...must choose plump auntie looking ard mid 30s and has children and experienced with bb. plump and auntie looking coz those bangladesh (my hdb cleaners & maintanence staff are bangladesh) wont really look for them. Then must install CCTV. So now i must start searching coz if not good still in time for replacement. thinking look for transfer maid at least can get soon and no dun hv to paid agent fee...

No, we did not install CCTV. My hubby forbids as he said if you treat her as human, she will too. But I have heard the countrary due to other people bad experiences. You should do what you feel comfortable with. Ours is not transfer helper. It is her first time in Singapore but previously was in HK for 6mths. Her previous employers migrated to Japan so she head back home and joined firm as she is a degree holder. She worked as helper as earns more. I agree that you should start looking earlier so that have time to change if need to be.
I don't like the way maid agency operates. Cheater bug.. We send her home for holiday within her first year as we were away for 3 weeks almost. Her tickets cost less than $200 so why not. Save electricity and expenses on her own. Went back to agency to apply for home leave and they charge us $300. Our helper was smart to photocopy some documents which we showed to another agency (they are very honest and we recontract our helper with them) and they applied the home leave at $21. The impt docu that was missing was this embassy cert that cost $250 which agency did not give us at all. They lied to my helper that we have when they found the photocopy on her and tore it up. She had few copies and hid in her bra. They also made her cut her hair and told her to shower once as Singaporean employers want to save water. Also, no creams as they said helpers don't need to maintain their skin. She hid her wedding ring in her shoe in case they confiscate.

ya coz my mil will accommodate our likes so i consider lucky to hv her as my mil. I like my mum's food too but now maid cook so whenever i go back my mum's house, she will instruct maid to cook what we desire. Ur husband rush u home? Why so? Btw my hubby dunlike stay at my mum's house for meal except on ocassion and i felt that he not very acommodative at times but i dun force him coz he dun like pp force him do what he unlikes. So let him be lor...as long as my gal and me have time with my mum can liao.
Ya now trying to look a few leh. maid agency most are money sucker...that why i only go to those realiable (may i know ur agency and how much is they charging for agent fee)? I have a good maid in my mil's house but she not recontracting due to personal problem and i even asked her have any recommended friends keen to work with us coz agent really money suckers!

My personal experience on this through my bro is that we install a CCTV camera. Have sound as well. This is after the second nephew was born and we don't trust the second maid to take care of the older one. Initially only the older nanny knows since she's more trustworthy than the second one. But after a while, we told the second maid as well. She was given clear instructions on where to go inside the house especially when my first nephew is playing. Only the nephew's bedroom and the living room. Get someone who is older and have taken care of other kids before. If you can ask friends if they can refer a maid/nanny for you.

That is a consultation firm called Hart Consultancy at Lucky Plaza. Not sure if they do transfer maid. I paid $330 ($250 for insurance + $80 handling fees).

Went for the detailed scan today. Mummies who haven't gone yet, please be prepared for it to take at least an hour, depending if baby is cooperative cos they really scan every part of baby to make sure everything is fine. I did my scan at Radlink (Paragon) and it started on time so that was good. Radiographer start with bb head, then take face, nose and lips also. Measured both arm and both legs, make sure can see all 10 toes and 10 fingers. Then also took scan of spine, showed me lungs, kidneys, bladder etc.
She even took scans to show blood flow from placenta/umbilical cord, as well as 4 chambers of the heart and the blood flow within the heart. so all very detailed. Looks OK from my layman perspective but have to wait till results get back to my gynae and I discuss with her next Tues. Fingers crossed!
Bb very restless, keep moving around but luckily managed to complete scan in abt 1hr, so still quite cooperative. Phew! Cos went during lunch time, then rush back to office! Luckily bosses are all very understanding and are willing to let me take a long lunch to settle these scans.

Yup, look for those older ones. The ones that are not likely to date and stay call in their phones. This is a big headache for us for the second maid. My first nephew's nanny is around 49 when we hire her, so the most is that she will talk to those downstairs and hardly even sms them. She doesn't go on day offs as well. Normally, during sundays/saturdays, she will just go with us, and will excuse herself for an hour just to remit money then meet us. For her, if she goes with us, she get to take taxi home, fare is shouldered by my bro, she gets to eat really nice food and sometimes my sis in law will also buy her some trinkets that she likes. She's just contented staying at home.
I'm okay with my soon to be mil. She will normally cook during weekends since I'm there during weekends only. HTB said if i live there most probably her mom will cook everyday. Normally she will fry fish, then some soupy stuff that i like, them pumpkin (my fav), then chicken, then veggies (the whole thing).I'm lucky to be the first daughter in law, she's been very nice to me. So sometimes i feel guilty when i can't eat a lot (not in the mood). Then they will give me fruits as well. hahahaha...really lucky...then now, the birdnest, she buy and cook as well. When i finish the whole bowl, she's really happy...
I had half of salmon sashimi. I begged htb to allow me to eat even half. I'm not fond of sushi and sashimi before but for some reason it became my craving when i got pregnant. As much as I would like to, htb is very strict when it comes to food...but during the national day, he gave in(finally!) and allow me to eat half slice of the sashimi...hahahaha

GBOB, I think if your maid agree to extend contract, you can just renew her work permit yourself online without going thru agency.. But need to confirm with her if she is coming back.. But I think got a few things need to be aware n sort out like getting bankers draft for insurance etc.. I wanted to DIY for my maid but in the end hubby said just pay the agency commission to do for us, so I won't be stressed over this while looking after my mum.
How are you planning to take care of your dad while your maid is away? There's respite care in nursing homes but usually only private got place, n can be quite ex..
