Daytime Confinement Nanny
Full-Time Confinement Nanny VS Daytime Confinement Nanny
Unlike a full-time confinement nanny who stays with the family 24/7, a daytime confinement nanny typically works during the daytime hours (9am to 6pm), providing support and guidance to new mothers while they adjust to life with a newborn.
As a daytime confinement nanny does not stay overnight at your home, you will not receive support during night feeds. Aside from this factor, you can expect a daytime confinement nanny's job scope to be quite similar to that of a full-time confinement nanny.
Benefits of a Daytime Confinement Nanny
Privacy
We understand that some families are not comfortable with having a stranger around the house. Hence, a daytime confinement nanny is a great option if you prefer to have privacy with your family at night.
Lodging
You will not have to worry about lodging for your confinement nanny. This is especially beneficial for families who do not have a spare room at home.
Bonding time
As a daytime confinement nanny will typically leave by 6pm, you can look forward to more bonding time with your baby.

Confinement meals are special foods made for new mums in Singapore after they have a baby. Think of them as a 'superfood' just for mums. They have lots of good stuff to help mums heal and give them what they need for breastfeeding. These meals are a big part of Singapore's traditions.

Becoming a mum is one of life's most magical moments. But after the joy of childbirth, there's a period that many cultures respect and honour: the confinement period. Often lasting about a month, this is a time when new mums rest, recover, and discover the red date tea benefits that have been cherished in traditional postpartum care. In many Asian cultures, this time is seen as crucial. It's a phase where the mother is advised to stay indoors, avoid cold drafts, and follow a specific diet to regain her strength.

After having a baby, mums go through a lot. Their bodies change, their feelings can be everywhere, and they have a new little person to look after. It's a beautiful time, but it can also be challenging. That's where a confinement agency can make a difference, offering the proper care and support after giving birth.
How much does a daytime confinement nanny cost?
The price of hiring a day time nanny is the same as a full-time nanny due to transportation and lodging costs for the nanny.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our daytime confinement nannies usually work from 9am to 5pm. However, if you would like to make other arrangements, we’re happy to work out something.
A daytime confinement nanny is a suitable option for families who either don't have an extra room or feel uncomfortable with a stranger staying overnight. On the other hand, hiring a full-time confinement nanny in Singapore would require you to arrange proper lodging for them during the night, as they would be staying under the same roof for 24/7 over the next 28 days. Opting for a daytime confinement nanny eliminates this hassle while still providing the same level of care from our experienced nanny.
Caring for your baby at night can be one of the most challenging aspects of newborn parenting. The disruption of waking up every two to three hours to feed a hungry baby is unfamiliar territory for many new parents, making it difficult to function during the day. If you opt for a daytime confinement nanny, they will not provide support during nighttime feedings, resulting in less rest for the mother.
We strongly recommend having nighttime support, especially for first-time parents, as it offers the following benefits::
- Sufficient rest to aid in recovery and recuperation.
- More time to adjust and adapt to parenthood.
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.
Alternatively, consider engaging a confinement nanny agency in Singapore that specialise in connecting families with qualified and experienced nannies just like NewBubs Confinement Agency. We’re an MOM-licensed confinement nanny agency (MOM License Number: 23C1524) in Singapore that carefully vet our candidates, ensuring they meet high standards of professionalism and expertise. 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.
As a general rule of thumb, it is advisable to hire a daytime confinement nanny as early as possible. It is common to see more experienced and highly sought-after confinement ladies getting reserved well in advance, with some clients even securing their services during the first trimester. By making the arrangement early, you can have peace of mind, knowing that you have one less thing to worry about.
We understand that pregnancy can sometimes be uncertain, and in such cases, we offer a 100% refund of the deposit in the event of any pregnancy complications certified by a doctor. This policy ensures flexibility and support during unforeseen circumstances.
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.
The cost of hiring a daytime confinement nanny is the same as hiring a full-time confinement nanny. You might be wondering why the cost remains the same despite the daytime nanny working fewer hours.
The reasons behind this are straightforward:
1. Lodging - Since our confinement ladies are non-Singaporean and don't have a permanent residence here, we need to rent a place for them to rest overnight. This incurs additional costs.
2. Transportation - Daily transportation is arranged for the nanny to commute to and from their workplace.
