Here’s an interesting article. This article might help keep realistic expectations for Pinoy’s trying their luck in the Singapore employment scene.
As of last quarter, there were less workers that were hired compared to the number of workers that left or lost their jobs putting Singapore’s unemployment rate at a three year high at 3.3%. Last March, there were just 31 openings for every 100 jobseekers – far from 114 for every 100 last year.
According to an article on Today Newspaper, the unemployment rate could still go up to 4-4.5% this year.

I am a single parent of a 4yr old girl and we live in paddington area of London.I work full-time and very busy while my daughter is in her nursery grade. We are happy and relaxed family and we like to have fun. We love listening to music while at home, we also love to go to the cinema to relax. I am looking for a mature, responsible and reliable, clean and tidy person who likes children and upholds Christian values which is highly important as a nanny for my daughter. I like someone who is in good health, quick-thinking and takes the initiative. We don’t want someone who is shy or timid but we would expect the nanny to be respectful, reserved and to be good at listening and communicating. We would respect privacy and provide own room with toilet- it’s not a large room but it’s big enough for a single bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a small desk. Arrangement will also be made in the room for effecting communication like telephone and internet to reach the love ones at any point in time. The train station is only 10 minutes walk from our house for easy access to various destinations.
There are lots of public transport options, tube/train/bus and I can also recommend an English language school nearby if there will be a need for that to enhance the communication within the family. I am in need of a full-time caregiver/Nanny and your housework duties are light and very reasonable. We do not have any pets and we do not smoke. I need a nanny to stay for at least one year. We are a fun young family looking for a kind hearted fun person to mix in with our family.
If you are interested and would consider being of a service to us,kindly reach me through my e-mail: frank.walter75@yahoo.com
I shall await your response.
Frank.
