Also has to see how many babies/kids the babysitter is watching. I wouldn't choose a baby sitter who is taking care of 5 babies even though it's cheap.

Exactly my point. I have ex-colleague who was surprised on finding another colleague paying 900 to babysitter. She said hers is only RM250. We asked her how many toddler she's babysitting. Imagine our horror when she answered 5! blink.gif

Even 3, if all are babies is horrible enough.

My babysitter costs RM1300 (including night time) and RM1000 (excluding nighttime)  in butterworth area.

Public holiday and Saturday night and Sunday are not working

Hi, do you visit and see your baby every day although you're not taking him/her home? I am considering inclusive nightime babysitter but apprehensive about not seeing my baby every day. But we know we have to get one cause i have to leave house at 6.30 for work every day. Then work late, so fetching baby's schedule will be erratic.

Thanks. So it's rather standard and 24hr babysitter will expect we visit them every evening to see baby right? rclxms.gif

but most parent will not want their baby to stay overnight with baby sitter nowadays. need quality time n care with their baby

I have to consider overnight baby sitter because I would prefer not to wake bb up as early 5.30am (I don't think he will sleep it through after I change diapers, feed and put him in car seat), drop him and then sometimes if there's meeting, I might ended up only getting him back home after 9pm?
Doesn't look like bb will get a lot of sleep here. I want him to have good sleep routine instead of like us, going on working schedule. Also long undisturbed sleep is good for growth.

Anyone knows what is the market rate for stay-in baby sitter? I know my friend got one who comes to her house every day for 1300. But I am looking for stay in.

Why don't you consider getting a maid

Put baby in parents house together with maid

Better stay in with baby daily, so that baby grow up have better bonding

Else you'll miss the moments

Try to be with baby everyday if possible

When there's a will there's a way

Both our parents are in other state. And both side parents hate having stranger in their house type. My mil fired her maid within months.

Also, as baby is premature, we prefer local lady instead of maid from another country. I am looking for temporary stay-in nanny, someone who stay at my house to take care of baby until I am back to work. If good and trustable, might consider retaining her for permanent.
