Experienced All-Round Helper with Strong Toddler Care

We are a warm family in Singapore looking for an experienced and reliable helper to join us long term.

We have a little boy who is approaching two years old and now attends school, as well as a well-loved German Shepherd. We are looking for someone who is confident caring for a young child, comfortable around a large dog, and able to independently manage the household as our sole helper.

The ideal person is warm, patient, organised and proactive. She should genuinely enjoy being around young children, communicate well, be comfortable with dogs, and be able to take responsibility for both our son’s routine and the day-to-day running of the home.

Main responsibilities

• Caring for our toddler before and after school and on non-school days
• Preparing him for school and managing his daily routine
• Preparing healthy meals and snacks for him
• Meals, naps, bath time, play and outings
• School drop-offs and pick-ups when required
• Taking him to activities, parks, libraries and appointments
• Reading, talking, singing and playing with him
• Encouraging independence and good everyday habits
• Keeping his room, toys, school items and belongings clean and organised
• Helping with the daily care of our German Shepherd, including feeding, basic cleaning and walking when required
• Cooking simple, healthy family meals
• General household cleaning
• Laundry and ironing
• Grocery shopping and errands
• Keeping the household organised and planning ahead for what is needed

We are looking for someone with

• Strong hands-on experience caring for toddlers aged approximately 1 to 4
• Experience as the main caregiver for a young child
• Experience managing a household independently as the sole helper
• Comfort and confidence around a large dog
• Good cooking skills and confidence preparing healthy family meals
• Good spoken English
• A warm, calm, patient and attentive personality
• Good judgement and child-safety awareness
• Strong organisation and time-management skills
• Confidence taking a child to school, activities and outings independently
• A stable employment history, ideally with completed or long-term contracts
• A current or previous employer who is willing to provide a reference
• The ability to take initiative while respecting the parents’ preferences and routines

Early-childhood, preschool, nursery, teaching or tutoring experience is very welcome, but it is not essential. What matters most to us is genuine experience with young children, reliability, good judgement, comfort with dogs, and the ability to manage both childcare and the household well.

We are looking for someone who can become a trusted part of our family for the long term. We treat the people who work with us with kindness and respect and are looking for someone who brings the same honesty, care and commitment to our home.
