Parenting is difficult, but most of us find it even harder to entrust our child to a stranger. Thankfully, there’s no stranger danger when you’re using these babysitter services — these agencies have trial periods, regular updates, and more, with some even being approved by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA). If you’re considering a babysitter for some much-needed me-time, read on to find out more.
01 • Kidibliss
Kidibliss is appointed by ECDA as an official provider of infant childminding services. This means cheaper fees and nannies with guaranteed experience, so opting for an ECDA centre is always the go-to move. Other than infant childminding, Kidibliss also provides home tuition and home music lessons, too. There’s a special $5 off voucher on their website, so don’t forget to use it when you sign up!

02 • Rainbow Cove Sembawang
Rainbow Cove operates 3 separate outlets, but its Sembawang branch is the only one that specialises in infant care and preschool services. Their nannies are passionate and patient, and they regularly provide pictures and detailed reports on feedings, naps, and activities. The centre also goes above and beyond to integrate a holistic approach to infant care, focusing on PIE Development: Physical, Intellectual, and Emotional. This includes engaging fine motor skills and gross motor skills, as well as problem-solving and exploration. With both indoor and outdoor activities, they make sure that your child is never bored.
📍 Address: 50 Gambas Crescent, Proxima@Gambas, #01-25, Singapore 757022
⏰ Opening hours: Weekdays, 7am to 7pm

03 • NannyPro
Established in 2004, NannyPro is a reliable veteran in the industry. They’re more than just a childcare provider, though! They’re part of Businesses for Good, and they have a social mission to provide meaningful employment opportunities to women. Their nannies can be single mothers, active seniors, or come from low-to-average income families. Nevertheless, all of them fulfil official ECDA requirements and hold valid certifications for Child First Aid and WSQ Food Safety Hygiene. These experienced and qualified nannies are available for a range of services, from corporate to travel.

04 • NannySOS
NannySOS primarily focuses on confinement nanny services, but that doesn't mean they slack on babysitting. All their nannies are professionally trained, with at least 3 years of experience. Services are flexible as well — you can choose to hire a nanny to babysit at your house, at a hotel, or even just as an extra pair of hands when going sightseeing in Singapore. From the long and grateful messages that parents have posted on Google Reviews, you can trust that your child is in safe hands.

05 • EduNanny
This ECDA-appointed childminding service stands out because of its venue and teaching approach. Rather than going to a nanny’s home, you can choose to have your child be cared for at their community-based location at Tampines East CC. It’s large and spacious, and there’s access to a 24/7 CCTV feed so that you can always have real-time updates on your child. Lessons at EduNanny are inspired by the Montessori method, tech-integrated, and gamified, so your child can have an enjoyable and enriching learning experience.
⏰ Opening hours: Weekdays, 7am – 7pm
📍 Address: 10 Tampines Street 23, #04-01 Tampines East CC, Singapore 529441
📞 Contact: 8809 0777 (Whatsapp)

06 • Aunty SG
Aunty SG started in 2021, when the founder, a full-time working mother with 2 children, wanted to make finding childcare easier during the COVID period. Since then, her lived experience has allowed the organisation to become a trusted network that has served over 15,000 families in Singapore. Besides providing regular and confinement nanny services, they also serve the local community by providing childminding services for hotels and Families for Life (FFL) events. Their mainstay is the Aunty app, where you can browse nanny profiles, chat with them, and schedule paid trials.

07 • The Fun Cove
This is not just your regular childminding service — The Fun Cove is open 24/7 on demand, so you always have someone to rely on. With few childcare centres being open on the weekends, The Fun Cove can be a lifesaver for those last-minute emergencies. You can enrol your child with at least a 12-hour notice, and even if you miss that timing, they’ll always try their best to accommodate. There’s also an option to do hot-desking at a separate room in their care centre, so that you can have a productive work environment without being too far from your child.
With daily photo updates and free centre tours, The Fun Cove strives to be the most reliable they can be. The environment there is playful and engaging. And most importantly, no screen time!
⏰ Opening hours: Open 24 hours daily
📍 Address: 17B Crane Road, Singapore 429356
