Crazy rite? local Chinese aunty. My area is puncak jalil. I thought will be cheaper, manatau so expensive.
If like that I better send to those baby center.

The nanny that i found only ask me to top up RM50 for porridge, but not inclusive of fish. We can supply fish ourself. Or else u can tell the nanny u can supply the fish urself. I dun think a baby will eat so much....

Baby center also around this price. I think they know we no choice and how expensive also need to pay cos we love our kids

Yalo. My own meal also around RM 200 per month only baby where can eat more than me. Lunch time at work I only spend rm5-6 for rice.

1k for baby care? oh my...
Boleh gaji pembantu rumah dah tue...
Carikan yang Grade AAA

Utusan plz dun tok crap here. Maid u think very cheap. Plz fix your newspaper to reflect real news first.

IF got no choice, tahan the high cost for a few months. I feel that for newborn is better to be take care by a nanny rather than a baby center. Maybe after 6 months or so can consider baby center. Usually center got even more kids and easier to get sick.

I am new at this but does the nanny providers have to be registered?



What assurance do new parents get?

Not register. Just depends on word of mouth from neighbors or other aunties. Usually they get client through recommendations.

I'm at Puchong area. Last year we do survey for baby care. The price range is RM900~RM1200. In the end, my final decision is ask my wife's mum to take care, pay for RM1K only. Luckyly she wants to help us.

Actually besides the price, the most what we concern is hard to trust the nanny outside cos all nanny at least need to take care more than 3 babies per day, only can cover.

Grandparents will be the best, if you don't mind them overpampering the kids. Lol. My mum loves her grandchild and even refuse to let me send them to kindy until at least 4 years old.

At least until 4 years old

Agree with Amanda. In Sri Petaling I found a center with nurse and helper, but RM1600 per month for baby. Found a nanny near my house, walking distance but decided not to because she couldn't tell me what is her intended schedule for the baby and we suspect she will keep my son in the playpen for most of the day except eating and bathing time. She is charging RM900.

So u use which 1?

Still searching, because we can only afford the half day for the center (RM850/mth) and for bbsitter we look for one who will play with our son and not just keep in the playpen.

If no choice have to take the 1600 one. Dun think can get 850 now unless is know 1

I did not opt for day care centers, I just don't like the idea of a centers taking care of 100+ kids. Easy to get sick, just take a look at all the news of infection outbreak last year. Doesn't matter if they have license or cert etc. It's just marketing gimmicks. The best is still baby sitter which takes care a few kids. At least they have friends to play with. And nooo those baby sitter won't put them in playpen for the whole day. They themselves can't stand it when your kids starts to cry and nag when they are bored.

And as for utusan comment, please try not to judge him. I do know Malay baby sitter is in the price of rm300-rm400. So that's why Malay will be shock at the cost of Chinese baby sitter which is in the range of rm800-1200.

I found many on locanto, here, babysitter2u, etc. You can search there.
Babysitters are around RM800-RM1000 per month. Still cheaper than the daycare center.

Just to chip in ... my son will be going to a nursery soon and that is 1.6k/mth. It's exp but what to do. The center is managed by ex midwives and nurses so at least I know my son will be in a safer environment.

I have visited many nannies some charging up to 2k for whatever reasons it may be. Some of the environment are okay and some less desirable. It really depends and most of them do request for extra when your baby starts porridge/puree.

Crazy right? They all think parents earn 10k+
