Hiring a Nanny or Caregiver from Singapore
Step-by-Step Guide

 

  1. Find out what the requirements HRDC are to see if you are qualified under their rules. If you need to contact HRSDC click here for useful phone numbers, links to the nearest Human Resource Centre and more detail on their requirements.
  2. If you satisfy HRDC's requirements, then the next step would be to look for a nanny or caregiver (for an elderly person). Click here to see resumes of nannies who are working in Singapre. Click on the thumbnail to see the resume of the nanny or caregiver. Some (but not a whole lot) have experience and/or training in caring for an elderly person as well as caring for children.
  3. You might want to speak with your potential nanny. Send us an email to arrange for a phone interview.
  4. When you have identified the nanny or caregiver of your choice, download the "Family Profile/Job Offer" form, fill it out and fax it to us at (65) 6732-9113.
  5. Meanwhile, you should seek the advice of your local Human Resources office and apply for their approval to hire from Singapore.
  6. Please note however, that it will take more time to find a suitable caregiver/companion to an elderly person who may need more than attention with the necessary training or certified experience.
  7. How long it takes to obtain approval from HRDC probably varies from one city to another, from one province to another. The time it takes for nanny to get a visa from the Canadian High Commission in Singapore varies too, but it can take as little as one month.
  8. The rest is pretty much automatic. If you satisfy the requirements of HRDC, you will be advised accordingly. Just send us a copy of the letter from HRDC advising you that your application is approved. Fax this letter to us, and we take over from here. If all goes well, you will have only 4-6 weeks more to wait.
