Babysitter Found

We found one babysitter who stays just near to Adel's CC.
This is simply great since it will be very convenience for us to drop/pick up Adel from school and at the same time leave little prince at the babysitter.


Thanks to Mrs Chua who helped us to source around.

We were considering to place little prince at the infant care at Learning Seeds Child Development Centre (off Telok Blangah Rd, near Keppel Club) as the last resort.
That would cost us $600 after subsidy though per month.


I was supposed to meet Mdm Tou yesterday morning at 8.30am at Appleland. But since the car is under repair and I have to take the stupid bus service 175, hence Mrs Chua interview her for me.

I spoke to her in the evening via phone.
She is willing to taking care of little prince from Monday to Friday and the timing is up to us. Have indicated to her that we will start from August onwards. Likely I will stopped the service and transfer to Adel's CC when he turns 17mths old (Mrs Chua mentioned that for siblings, they can accept at 17mths old).
I will try to drop off little prince at 8am and pickup around 6.30pm. She is absolutely okay with the proposed timing. BEST, she is pro breastfeeding which means I can continue to total breastfeed little prince this time round for as long as I can.
She charges $550 per month.

Told my mum about the cost and she was so surprised at the rate now.
She was still telling me that my twin sisters were paying for about $650, 18 years ago then. LOL that was 18 years ago and where can we find such good rates now?


I would need to arrange to go to her house one of the weekend and then maybe sit down and have a proper chat as well as check out her environment.

Checklist
- what she requires us to bring over (clothes, neccessities, mattress)
- when to make payment to her
- how much extra to pay her when little prince starts solid

Anything else I need to ask?
