Singapore Indian Wife/American Indian Husband/Cat/Newborn

Hi! We are looking for a happy, honest, polite and respectful helper to join our home. We are a young married Indian American couple that has been in Singapore for more than 10 years.

We live in the River Valley area in Singapore with our cat, Ponzu, in a 4 bedroom apartment with a separate helper room, area, helper bathroom. The ideal helper should be skilled in extensive cleaning, healthy cooking, baking, and able to follow recipes, speak decent English, be able to take public transport and go to the market, take care of our cat, wash our car once a week, water and care for our plants daily, basic sewing, and be able to take care of a newborn baby as we are family planning. We are a very clean and tidy couple and like our home to be very clean. We eat at home mostly and therefore enjoy healthy home cooked meals. We eat many different cuisines so an ideal helper will be comfortable to handle any kind of meat or vegetable. Aside from that, our Cat requires daily brushing and grooming, cleaning up after, and also stays in the same area as the helper. He is a shy and kind cat that does not bite or scratch. The helper room has a single bed, a closet, mirror, a fan, and access to a cleaning area which is open air and gets a nice breeze, and has a private bathroom with heated shower, sink, and toilet. We hope that the helper can start with our family as early as September but no later than mid-October 2025. We look forward to interviewing you and hopefully welcoming you into our home and family! Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions.
