Hi all,


I might be letting my helper go after her contract ends in Apr 2022; might let her go earlier if we are ready.

Just to share that reason being my kid have recently started school and I dont feel like we need a full time helper since we are at work/school most of the time.

Please free feel to let me know if you are interested and I can update you when/if we are ready to let go.

Does anyone send their kids to the new MC Performing Arts Preschool? Heard its the only one under the MC umbrella and just started not too long ago. Any existing parents want to refer me (so we both earn 500 referral each)?

I have a question here..
My son is going childcare in Sept. I intend to send my helper back earlier as she will finish her contract in Jan.
Need advises here....
I am afraid that there may not have flight back to Indonesia, however my helper likely won't be extending her stay here, what can I do
2) how early should I tell her I am sending her back? The contract written 2 weeks in advance. Some friends are telling me to only tell her only the day itself.
My helper has slow/poor understanding, quite laid-back and always show black face when I correct her. Thus, my worry is she might be unhappy to go back home in advance and worry that she may harm my family. Especially I have a toddler at home. However, if I tell her on that day that she is flying off, I felt that I am cruel. Sigh

I'm new here but thought I'd give my two cents on this.

I think you should give her at least some notice since she's been working with you for quite some time (considering her contract is almost up), and she'll most likely need to make arrangements at home for her return. And given that you've stated 2 weeks in the contract, you should follow the contract. Otherwise, you'll definitely be taking a risk if she wants to report you for breaking contract.

As to your worry of her harming your family, unfortunately the only thing I can think of is either 1) don't let her take care of your toddler in these 2 weeks (although may not be practical but that's the safest bet if you're worried but want her to still continue working in your house) or 2) pay her for the 2 weeks notice and send her back immediately.

I'd personally go for (2) but understand some employers may not want to pay the extra cost.

All the best!

I am new here too and also facing the same dilemma. Intending to not continue with helper once daughter starts going to childcare. But for me my helper seems keen to continue working in SG. Does anyone have advice on how to go about it? Do we help her to source for new employer or just bring her back to agency?
