WP-CN — Work Permit (Confinement Nanny)

Singapore's Work Permit for a Confinement Nanny lets Singapore households hire a Malaysian nanny to care for a newborn during the post-birth confinement period. It is a short-term, employer-sponsored permit tied to the birth of a specific child and worked exclusively at the employer's home.

Validity is capped at 16 weeks from the child's birth and the permit is not renewable. The nanny must be Malaysian and aged 23 to 70; the employer must be at least 21 with a baby under 4 months. Application costs S$35 with a monthly levy of S$60 (citizen child) or S$300, plus mandatory medical insurance.

This visa is ideal for Singapore parents seeking a Malaysian confinement nanny to provide live-in newborn care for up to 16 weeks.
