I will soon relocate to Singapore. I have 2 kids age 9 and 2. I will need childcare, but I dont want someone who cooks, cleans, irons, shops and washes the car at 6am. I just want someone looking after the children.
It seems like there are nannies/aupairs in Singapore, but there is no information on salaries.
Can anyone give me a rough idea of what I would pay?
a) Live out
b) Live in
I would look at either option. Live out would probably be needed 8am-6pm Monday to Friday.
Live in would be obviously all fairly negotiated and give-and-take.
I dont really care about qualifications, I just want someone nice, kind and sensible who can have fun with my kids, drop off and pick up from school,help with homework until I get home, maybe take them on outings now and then, and organise to feed them when they are hungry. Just normal Australian lifestyle, if you know what I mean.
If there are any au-pairs/nannies out there, or anyone who has this set-up, can you give me a clue as to what I should offer, or what is expected? I assume (hope) we are looking at more than the few hundred a month paid to maids. And also, does this government levy also apply?
Any info gratefully recieved.
