Clearly no one understands the concept of babysitting so I guess I'll move on...
I think the general understanding of board members may be more that you are giving credit. You are considering offering a serivce with no paperwork but costing $2000 per month.
As a comprison, people caught hiring a part time cleaner (also with no paperwork, and costing maybe $250 - $400 per month) who is not legal to work face fines of many thousands of dollars, and the person caught offering the service is fined and may be Jailed for up to 6 months. A case I heard of the cleaner was originally hired using an agency but the person using her was still fined over $8000. The Cleaners original employer was also fined for providing a pass on false pretenses.
In the following sentence the equivalent of the Employer would be the people paying you to provide the schooling service. While this relates to maids "
About 85 employers were fined and five were jailed between two and six weeks, either for hiring the workers illegally or allowing their own maids to work elsewhere. "
I understand you wish to do this "off the books" but in doing so you are undertaking a very dangerous and highly risky venture where people who actually live in Singapore are suggesting it is the fast lane to deportation. In another thread a Singaporean citizen's wife is being deported for working as a dancer without a proper permit. Of course you may never be caught, but that is the risk you are taking.
It is possible you may have a better understanding of Singapore Law as neither SMS nor I are Lawyers, but it doesnt look like you understand the environment here.
