Hi I heard about infant care training at Thomas Medical Centre.
The class will only run if there is a group as it is more economical and the maids learn more. its quite cheap but important i think...per maid is $100-150...trained by consultant at TMC ..
All aspects of taking care of ur baby...!

Details:Infantcare Training ProgrammeAt TMC, we believe that maids or caregivers should be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary in providing care for the baby. This would increase their confidence in looking after the baby and also serve to increase the confidence of the parents in entrusting the newborn to their care.

The program covers feeding baby, bathing baby, diaper changing, bowel movement of baby, handling and holding baby, management of crying baby and more.
For more information, please call our Thomson ParentCraft at 6251 4090.

quote :I got my indo maid frm Homekeeper. Its @ Bukit Timah. The staff there are very friendly. I am very happy their service.

quote: I got my from Gold Year, Balestier Ruby Plaza. Tel:62547366 Before that I went to other agencies and they were nice also ... Just that the agent Ms Tan in Gold Year was more attentive. She would interact personally to the maids and fill me in extra info about the maids so I can make a better choice. The other agencies I went had a lot of biodatas for me which is simply not as good as someone who had talked to the maids before and know their mentality. In case any of you gers are going, got complimented her services ok? Cheers!


quote: i got my domestic helper from Kovan hut the agency name is Hung Chau (Singapore) Pte Ltd. Mine is Indo maid she's a transfer maid and i'm the 3rd employer. Cos the 1st employer ill-treated her my maid work wif them for 2 mths den she discont as for the 2nd employer she had to look after elderly and the elderly pass away aft my maid had been 6 mths with them den transfer to my side. Their service is very good and i dun need to put so much upfront oso. We oso can chose the package. They got two package 1 is for $388 and the other 1 is for $288, forgotten wat the package is but could go down and ask. My Indo maid althought she never look after BB at all but she's very very patience with my 8mths old gal and she's willing to learn. And my gal is oso willing to follow her too.But i think it's all luck. Look for Ms Ti Ti or Ms Dasiy. Thank you.

this is why i want my Blog to have all the require information.


Quote "Cost of levy + maid salary + food + medical costs.
Even if you are so lucky that your maid is so healthy that she never falls sick in the 2 years of your her contract, there is this 6 monthly compulsory check up.
I estimate the cost of my maid at $170 (levy) + $320 (salary) + $300 (food)+ $200 (outings and medical costs) = $1000.
This may be higher than actual cost as like I say, medical and outings are not that frequent, but this is what I budgeted. "

===============================================================

quote" Mine is a Philliphino maid.Salary $320 + Levy $170 = $490, food is avg $70I would say per mth fix cost is $560.For yearly, $50 check up (6mths once) plus I'll give her $50 as compliment for her hard works.

================================================================

Quote" indo maid$200 - Levy, $300 - Salary, $200 - Food (Total: $700)
I think food expenses is budgeted.. Like mine.. my maid one day 2meals lunch tabao from coffee shop dinner eat maggi mee..
sometimes both meal tabao from coffee shop.. so sometimes i spent less den $200..

comments: Never leave your maid alone with your baby because you will never know what they do.. so its always advisable that have someone at home with maid.. or prob u can leave her at parents or in law house while u out to work..

==================================================================
The levy rate have changed from 01July... I just got my maid for 2 weeks and I estimate her cost is:$170 (levy) + $350 (salary) + $150 (food)
