--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good afternnon from sunny London,
I am due to be moving to singapore in 3 weeks time with my little family and was wondering if anyone could give me more information or advice re getting an amah.
We shall be living near Clarke Quay, we have 2 lovely boys ( almost 5 and 7 years old) and are expecting our third child for early june.
I have read about getting domestic help in the relocation books and websites but am a bit confused on how to go about it.
I seem to have read from various postings that it would be better to hire someone who has already worked with expats families 9 and therefore get direct references), who already speaks english but am not sure how to find the right person.
I believe you can get part time help but am really looking into having someone my boys are used to and happy with for when the little addition decides to join us.
many thanks to anyone who can provide info on this matter.
