Trusted Confinement Nanny Agency In Singapore

A confinement nanny, also known as a postpartum nanny or yue sao, is a professional caregiver who provides specialised care to new mothers and their babies during the confinement period.

‍

In Chinese tradition, confinement is believed to be a crucial time for postpartum recovery and bonding between mother and baby. It usually lasts for 28 days to 16 weeks after delivery.

A confinement nanny's duties typically include cooking confinement meals, providing newborn care, and assisting with household chores such as laundry and cleaning. She can also offer advice and support to new parents during this challenging time.

Any new mother can benefit from the services of a confinement nanny, regardless of her age or background. Whether you are a first-time mother or have had children before, a confinement lady can provide you with much-needed support during this period of adjustment.

‍

Of course, a first-time mum stands to gain much more from a confinement lady as the experienced nanny is not just able to guide you through, but also offer the emotional support especially during times of “chaos”.

There are several avenues you can explore to hire a confinement nanny in Singapore. One way is through personal recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have previously used such services.

‍

By working with a reputable agency like us, you can be confident that you'll be matched with a suitable nanny who meets your specific needs and preferences so you can rest and recuperate properly.

We recommend hiring a confinement nanny as soon as possible after giving birth. Most of our clients actually start enquiring even before the end of their first trimester.

‍

This is because the confinement period is believed to be a crucial time for postpartum recovery and bonding between mother and baby.

While having your parents' assistance during the confinement period is invaluable, deciding whether to hire a confinement lady depends on your individual needs and circumstances.

‍

Factors to consider include the expertise a nanny can offer in postnatal care and newborn management, the potential workload on your parents, and your own rest and recovery needs. Additionally, confinement nannies are knowledgeable about traditional confinement practices, which may be helpful to ensure a smooth postpartum experience.

While it is not mandatory to hire a confinement nanny, many new parents in Singapore choose to do so because they believe it can greatly benefit their physical and emotional recovery after childbirth, as well as help them adjust to the demands of caring for a newborn.

‍

Hiring a confinement lady can provide new parents with much-needed support during this period of adjustment, and can also alleviate some of the stress associated with caring for a newborn, such as sleep deprivation and anxiety.

‍

This is especially so for first-time parents where everything is new to them. Not knowing what to do when the baby is crying or in an emergency situation can be extremely stressful.

‍

Our team of experts will work closely with you to understand your unique needs and preferences, and will match you with a confinement lady who is best suited to your requirements.

To choose the right confinement nanny, consider factors such as her experience, qualifications, and compatibility with your family's needs and preferences. Look for nannies with strong references and verify their credentials.

‍

Personal interviews can also provide insights into their approach to caregiving and help determine if they will be a good fit for your family dynamics.

Fortunately, nannies from NewBubs Confinement Agency undergo a rigorous election process to ensure they are fully tained and qualified.

‍

Face-to-face selection: All our confinement nannies are handpicked by our service team and the selection process is done face-to-face in Malaysia. We are trained to observed body language and behaviours of the candidates.

‍

150+ hours of training:  Our confinement nannies are then put through a series of training on how to care for the mother and newborn as well as assisting mother in preparing baby for breastfeeding.

‍

Safety is our top priority: Our confinement nannies are trained in child First Aid which are accredited by SRFAC. They are equipped with knowledge & techniques to recognise and mitigate injuries and medical emergencies like severe breathing difficulties and bleedings not only in adult casualties but also that in children and infants.

We understand that mothers would want to select or even interview the confinement nanny before deciding to take up our service.

‍

However, it is extremely challenging for us to assign a nanny upfront as the delivery date is often unpredictable.

‍

For a natural delivery, it could be as early as 37 weeks or as late as 42 weeks. If a confinement nanny is assigned upfront, she might not be available for you if your delivery date changes.

‍

We have attempted doing so, but it resulted in more stress for the mother than comfort.

‍

That said, rest assured that all our nannies are very experienced and highly capable of looking after your needs.
