The baby center near my place charge 1K to take care my baby. When 6 months charge extra 200 for organic food wor. Is it worth?

For your info it is the only center take care baby in my area and the environment looks not bad.

which area?

where is your parent ? relatives ? price seems ok but have you checked whether they are registered ?

I would say slightly cheap if PJ or Puchong area. Organic food is fresh as you don't want your child to dine on junk food and canned foods

TS you are from Penang right?
yes, now it cost around that amount.

(your ic no. middle is 07)

It's not the question of 'worth' but one of convenience - Can you afford the time to send your baby elsewhere?

Petaling Jaya

Parents dun 1 take care. They r legit just the price abit over like it's for high class ppl lol. Or is it market rate now? Cos I can get aunty for 800 but is abit difficult for me due to location.

Cheap? Due to the food or wat? Cos some ppl work also no rm1200.

Is it need organic? If let aunty take care only charge rm50 for food like porridge which we grow up on.

Ya Original from penang. Now penang price also like dat?

Is convenient la but does the price justify or overcharge? If not I let other place is waste alot my time but I dun like succumb due to only place available in my area.

Babies are more expensive cause they cant do much on their own and need constant care. Organic food makes it even more expensive.

They get cheaper to care in toddlerhood.. but RM1k a month is about right. Malay childcare tend to be a lot cheaper but there's a reason why all the childcare death occured at Malay-handled centres.

It depends on the facility, cleanliness, the qualification of the staff, cctv monitoring etc...

from your visit, u have to decide whether is worth your buck or not.

I also did some survey around PJ area too, the cost is really high for places that we deemed good and safe for our babies. I'm lucky that my mum is helping me to take care for now.

Another cheaper option to send to nanny's home, but I heard too many stories about those auntie keep the baby inside the playpen for the entire day or toddler infront of the TV with no human interaction.

Im at Puchong area, thr is one nanny who request for RM1k for babbysitting service, add another 200 after 6months but she is looking after 4 other childrens

The price is quite reasonable if she is looking after 1 or 2 childrens in total 5 children i think is quite expensive

**other nannies is charging around RM750 tp RM900. after 6 months add another 50, if i want to make sure the food is fresh i can provide my own vege/ meat

Yalo I also tot the charge around same as u mentioned other nanny.

But seems 1K is the normal rate liao. How to survive like dat. Need quit job lo

I told my husband y not i resign n be nanny myself can look after my own lo and can earn side income....

somemore dun have to pay income tax... hahaha

dun rely on organic food too much, once stomach used to it, then once it outside foods which normally non-organic, stomach cannot take it..

expensive leh...

i just asked a nanny last week, cost 900. after 6 mths add 300 coz she will cook fish porridge. Then , if i need send baby around 7 am need top up to rm 1200.

i know got nanny in ss2 that cost less than that.
only thing is, i dunno if she full already or not. usually she takes care of a few. clean chinese aunty, very experienced, good location in ss2 chow yang. family all clean ppl and well organised.

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+

Very exp ... i've been to two nurseries and they charge 1.6k. I wonder if they are colluding haha

Industry Pakat la they all. Like dvd seller Pakat sell rm10 per disc like dat. They know we no choice cos love our kid

Even if parents earn 10k also, having to pay 1.6k for babysitter is still a lot of money.

usually around what price ?

can share me her contact?

can share which center? I'm looking for one too.

Expensive la. Better find other.

I don't mind if the place is good and safe

rm1200?

yes child care not cheap nowadays. thats why some of my friends quit their jobs to take care of their kids especially when they have more than 2 kids

Hi Lolie,
May I know which what is the name of the centre in Sri Petaling you mentioned about? RM1600/ month with nurse and helper. I’m interested.
Thanks.

I find the price is reasonable, most important is whether you are comfortable to send your little one there or not.
Trust your gut feeling.
