JIA Confinement Agency

Set up in 2011, this MOM-licensed agency provides both English and Chinese-speaking in-house and daytime nurses (9am to 6pm). Nannies cook for the mother and look after the baby… whipping up traditional confinement food to help mamas recover quickly from the birth and ensure an adequate milk supply for breastfeeding. First-time mums will also get invaluable guidance on correct breastfeeding techniques, supporting new mums when they need it the most. Standard packages are usually for one month (28 days), although longer stays can be arranged. Some confinement nannies (if you’re super lucky!) even take on additional duties like cooking for the family.

$2,000 and above.
