Hmmm... for my first one, I gave $80 when she first came and $120 on her last day. I'll be interested to know the market rate too.

Hi lili gal, thanks for sharing, at least now I hv some idea. Appreciated.

First ang pow I give $28. Some give $20. Some give $30. Last day ang pow depends on how satisfied u are. If really unhappy, $20-50. If happy, can range from $80-200.

Thanks ziloak. Agree the 1st angpow gd to hv '8', 2nd one something like performance bonus.

Geeeshhh.. now I think i'm overpaying. Those amount were based on my friend's input!

lili gal, cld it be the rate depends on experience, demand & timing, eg. this year taken up fast. One CL on first contact told me straight "you know hor, you cannot terminate me halfway, must give me 2 angpows". Not surprising if next she'll stipulate the minimum amts.

i gave $80 when she came in Dec 10. And over the 4 weeks we have become so close to her and treated her as part of the family. We bought her a steamer from Best Denki and gave her $280 when it was time for her to go.

On her last day which was my daughter's one month, she gave my daughter SGD 180 in return. I was shocked. When she reached JB, she contacted us and chided us for giving her so much.

Anyway she was really good to us and for my daughter's one year old birthday she asked someone from JB to pass SGD 50 red packet for my little girl.

We were really touched and we kept asking her to come out for coffee or tea whenever she comes in to work but she refused. Anyway i missed my confinement lady so much and i wish to see her again. When i have my second one i wld definitely hire her again.

A good confinement lady sure goes a long way.

I was told to give $50 when she arrive, think its quite reasonable. On the last day i gave her $88, now reading through this thread seems a bit little kind of feel bad about it cause the nanny really did a very good job.

I gave $50 when she arrive and $100 when she goes back. I paid abt $2.2 k to engage my cl in June btw.
