Check out these confinement centres, agencies, and nanny services in Singapore so you can baby yourself while you rest and recover from the difficult period of pregnancy and delivery.

What is a confinement centre?
Confinement centres are a fairly recent concept in Singapore and they’re great if you don’t have a spare room for your nanny or just want to get away from it all during your confinement month. However, be prepared to shell out a pretty penny for luxurious and comprehensive round-the-clock care.
If you only need your food baby taken care of during confinement, there are tingkat food delivery services that include confinement meal options.
What is the difference between a confinement nanny & confinement centre?
For most of us, there’s no place like home. Especially if you’re a first-time mum, you might want to get a confinement nanny to stay with you instead. Instead of you staying in a confinement centre, the nanny will come to your home to help with feeding, bathing, diaper changing, and the cooking of nourishing meals while you focus on recovering from the birth, and bonding with your newborn.
You can hire a nanny through a confinement agency, which is government-regulated and will handle everything from work permits and guarantees to training. Else, freelance nannies can also be found through Facebook groups such as Singapore Confinement Discussion Group or online parenting forums such as MummySG.
The cost varies depending on the scope of duties, but ranges between $3,800-$4,500/month. Freelance nanny rates usually cost a little less, but you’ll usually have to manage their paperwork yourself.
Is staying at a confinement centre or hiring a confinement nanny better?
Both options have their fair share of perks, so it really boils down to choosing the option that best suits your specific needs. For instance, we’d recommend hiring a nanny for new parents who want to recuperate at home, and fork out less cash.
On the flip side, new mums who want a little more pampering can opt to stay in a confinement centre, where a greater variety of services like spas, massages, and workshops are available.
