Hi everyone,
I have been in Singapore for 4 months now. I have a 21 months old son, Leo. When I arrived in Singapore, I had to find a nanny since I had to look for a house etc. . I found a JEWEL, by the name of KANINI. She is an ex-nurse, fantastic English, and great great with kids. She can cook for them, she does different activities with them, and above else she simply loves kids! She charges $15.00/hr, which you may find expensive??? But I can assure you that your guilt will literally dissipate in the air. She is worth the money!
Now, I have a Philipino helper who is also great with him. They really enjoy each other. I spent 3 days overseas, and he did great. He goes to pre-school too from 9.30 till 3.30pm.
As far as social life goes, I find that Singapore is great. To have a helper (obviously finding one good is the key
, just gives you this extra time, that I did not have in Sydney. Matter of fact, I can at last go to the movies, enjoy a cafe from time to time, and meet up with people in the evening, because I have someone in the house, minding the baby...and that is such a luxury! Oh, and I forgot to mention, that I am able to be back to yoga classes in the evening
