AMR Maids is already one of the most trusted maid agencies in Singapore, so it’s no surprise they’re also a go-to for premium confinement nannies. This rep is backed by accolades like Prestige 100 Singapore and Singapore’s Finest Services.

All their maids go through a 40-day training program that covers essential skills like basic English, infant care, housekeeping, and cooking. Plus, they’re required to pass a medical exam within two weeks of arriving on the island.

Don’t worry if your initial placement doesn’t work out since AMR offers a Replacement Guarantee for added peace of mind.

What’s great is that if you’re a first-time employer, they’ll walk you through an online Employer’s Orientation Programme, a mandatory course to help you understand your responsibilities.

The only real “catch” is that they’re so highly rated and in demand, you might have a hard time booking them right away.

Truly made a positive impact on our lives

“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to AMR Maids for their exceptional service in providing us with a wonderful helper who has been with our family for the past four years. Their professionalism and dedication have truly made a positive impact on our lives. We are immensely satisfied with their service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of domestic support.”

Fantastic addition to our household

“I had the pleasure of working with AMR agent Elma, and I can’t say enough about the outstanding service she provided. Her prompt and friendly response truly set her apart. The process of finding a helper is incredibly smooth and stress-free. Moreover, Elma’s recommendation for a helper was spot-on. The helper she matched us with has been a fantastic addition to our household. The dedication and attention to detail in understanding our requirements were exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Elma to anyone in search of domestic services. Her commitment to customer satisfaction and her friendly, approachable demeanour make her a true asset to any agency. Good Job! Thank you.”

STAR Confinement started the business back in 2013 after Winnie’s own nanny let her down at the last minute during her third trimester. She realized the importance of reliable confinement nannies and has been filling the gap since.

Her operation includes a brigade of over 200 expertly trained confinement specialists, each one vetted, fully vaccinated, and medically cleared.

What we love about them is that they constantly upgrade their training programs to make sure their services keep up with what modern families actually need.

As for their nannies, they really do handle the whole package. We’re talking confinement dishes to get your strength back, essential herbal tonics and baths, late-night feedings, and even laundry and basic household chores.

Note that since they have a large roster of nannies, experience can occasionally vary—we heard reports of nannies that were a bit on the lazy side.

Genuinely loves children and has a passion for her work

“Have engaged nanny Tei Hooi Koon (Jean, ST 316) for a few contracts, totaling about 8 months. This is because we find her service more trustworthy than that of domestic helpers. Jean has experience as a confinement nanny for newborns and is also able to take care of older babies. She has a high standard of hygiene, and we fully entrust our son to her care. Jean has a bubbly personality and has blended well into our family. She genuinely loves children and has a strong passion for her work. Jean is a good recommendation to anyone seeking confinement nannies or even for longer periods.”

Baby was well taken care of and clearly loves her too!

“Had a pleasant experience with STAR Confinement and nanny Lay Khoon. She ensured that I got sufficient rest and prepared everything I needed for my recovery postpartum. Baby was well taken care of and clearly loves her too! Communication with the agency was seamless – they arranged for a replacement nanny for one day as I delivered earlier than expected. Xiao Hui, our replacement nanny, was excellent despite only staying for a day! Clearly, the nannies have been well trained with efficient routines for taking care of both mother and baby.”

Confinement Angels has been around for over a decade and proudly claims to be the first in Singapore to offer professionally trained confinement nannies. 

This consistency is due to their commitment to training. Each nanny undergoes a whopping 108 hours of in-house professional training, as well as regular refresher sessions to make sure their skills are up-to-date.

In addition to regular nanny duties, they really lean into postpartum wellness to make sure the mom is feeling her best. Additional duties include soothing postnatal massages, prepping nutritious confinement meals, and providing mental health support.

Don’t miss their online limited-time offers for added value. You can score awesome deals like a free baby photography session.

Sadly, while many parents swear by them, we did hear a few whispers of nannies doing only the bare minimum.

Brought so much peace and assurance to our home

“We were truly blessed to have Aunty Serene (#482) as our confinement nanny. From the very first day, she showed how experienced, responsible, and caring she is. She took excellent care of both baby and mommy, ensuring that our little one was well-fed, clean, and comfortable at all times, while also preparing nutritious and delicious meals that helped with postpartum recovery. What really stood out was Aunty Serene’s friendly and gentle personality. She was always supportive, cheerful, and willing to share helpful tips. Her presence brought so much peace and assurance to our home during those crucial first weeks. We’re so grateful for her dedication and support, and we would highly recommend Aunty Serene to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving confinement nanny. Thank you so much, Aunty Serene. We will definitely miss you! ❤️”

She cared for both baby and family with real sincerity

“We were incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing confinement nanny. Wendy was warm, genuine, and deeply caring, and made our postpartum period feel calm and supported. Her experience and gentle presence gave us so much reassurance, and she cared for both baby and family with real sincerity. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and kind.”

PEM Confinement is one of the largest confinement nanny agencies in Singapore, boasting over 550 certified ladies. Each one has been vetted and medically cleared before they ever set foot in your home.

Their services prioritize the mother’s physical health by providing daily confinement meal prep, as well as herbal drinks and traditional baths.

And when it’s time to focus on the baby, they don’t just take over feedings. They assist and guide you through the breastfeeding process; this is perfect for those struggling with latching.

They recognize that not every home has a spare room or a lifestyle that fits a live-in arrangement, so they offer daytime confinement nanny services, too. This is something you won’t always find in other providers.

The downside of being such a large agency is that the personalities of the nannies can be a hit-or-miss.

Provided outstanding care for myself and my baby

“I would like to commend my confinement nanny, Aunt Shirley(1882), for providing outstanding care for both myself and my baby throughout the past two months. Her experience and expertise were evident in every aspect — from newborn care and night feeding to preparing balanced confinement meals and supporting my postpartum recovery. She took excellent care of my baby — from feeding, bathing, burping, to soothing him through the night, and treated him as if he were her own. She took note of my emotions and ensured I rested, and taught my family how to care for the baby with confidence. She carried out her duties with great patience, responsibility, and warmth, creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for our family during this important period. I am extremely grateful for her contributions and would highly recommend her services to any new mother.”

She taught me everything about having a newborn

“I was really impressed by her attentiveness, patience, and professionalism. Having a nanny for overnight feedings and newborn care was a true lifesaver. She understands our baby’s needs and also takes care of me. The doctor also complimented that our baby is quite well, his body weight, his jaundice level dropped to normal, etc.

Also, she taught me everything about having a newborn and was wonderful. Overall, I highly recommend our nanny. Her number is “2310”.

Since 2016, NewLife Confinement Services has provided utmost care for postpartum mummies and their newborns.

For new moms who want to get away from the city’s hustle, their Confinement Center is surrounded by lush greenery and bright flowers. They assign one confinement nanny to each modern, hotel-style room so that you can have a private recovery experience.

This package also includes postpartum rehab services like postnatal massage and lactation consultations to help moms recover physically.

Now, if staying at home is a priority, they have Confinement Nanny to Home services. Their nannies, each with 3 to 7 years of experience, handle everything, from brewing confinement herbal soups and red date drinks to 24/7 baby care.

Keep in mind that, as with any large team, personality matches can vary. We heard mentions of nannies with poor etiquette, which we agree can be a bit of a buzzkill.

We could truly feel her love and dedication for our little one

“Our experience at Newlife Confinement Center was truly exceptional. On the day of discharge from the hospital, nanny Mary came to pick us up, and throughout the entire confinement period, we felt completely at ease. The meals provided were not only delicious but also nourishing, helping the new mom recover quickly and comfortably. A special thanks to our confinement nanny, Mary, who was incredibly kind and gentle. She always spoke softly to both the baby and us, creating a calm and soothing environment. Her professionalism gave us great peace of mind, as she cared for our baby so attentively and also taught us many valuable tips. Over the 28 days, we could truly feel her love and dedication for our little one—staying up through the nights and tending to the baby with great care and patience. Thanks to Mary and Newlife, the new mom was able to rest and recover fully. We highly recommend Newlife Confinement Center and Mary to any new parents!”

The Center helped me a lot to restore my energy and strength

“We booked 28 days confinement with NewLife for our newborn baby. We felt so lucky and grateful to have Nanny Chris with us. She was very experienced and professional, really heartily caring for our baby boy. As a first-time mother, I was constantly worried about little things about the baby. Nanny Chris is very patient and always helps me to relieve my anxiety. She also taught us a lot about how to take care of the baby. The confinement meal is very delicious and nutritious, helped me a lot to restore my energy and strength. The hotel room had a great view too. We also had a couple meal for the husband on the last day. Very considerate! Thanks newlife for this great experience!”
