ermmm...i was kinda always being selected to work for child care centre.

even went for a few interviews.

i usually pass the interviews with flying colours.

but its their misery pay that i stop short of joining them.

fren whose wife gave birth this morn, (that same guy I went back sg to attend for wedding that wan.) is a childcare centre teacher. i think she is the only singaporean in that outfit. And her pay less then $1100/- gross per month.

And she had a diploma in electrical engineering or something from our singapore local polytechnic.

while working at the childcare centre, she is bonded to the school for a couple more years, till she finishes the diploma in childhood studies.

for those keen to take on childcare studies, and need some funds assistance, you could go to www.cdac.org.sg to check out their subsidised training courses.

at least she manages to build up to $1100 per month very good liao.

I was usually offered $700/- and that is the highest they offer to a singaporean, irregardless of your educational background.

So even if you are a grad. to start at these child care centre, its $800/- they can go i guess.

Wanda SG

But you're paid by the hour, right? No work, no pay.

the Bear SG

think about this...

your child is being looked after by someone who is paid below the level which even the mini-stars say is sufficient to survive in Singapore..

way way WAY below that minimum level

hisoka SG

thats crazily low man.

unless the hours are very short Confused

viciouskitty74 SG

You wished. Rolling Eyes

usually a 7-7 working hours. but you know lah. some parents cannot pick up the kids on time, so someone will have to stay back later often.

elindra SG

$800!!!!
Wah liao when I was working part time in poly I was taking home over 2k per month!!!!

Wanda SG

Surprised Okie that option is out. Confused

viciouskitty74 SG

thats why, most of them staffs are china/india & other nationalities folks.

Then there is also montessori schools, which are hopefully paying their staffs better.

elindra SG

Ya man

I was expecting maybe about $1500 - 1800 still though a big cut at least I can cover my monthly expenses (insurance, bills etc)

viciouskitty74 SG

aiyah....you try going thru the newspaper and apply at some centres lah.

prove me wrong lor. Very Happy

make it a fact find mission?

ShrodingersCat SG

plus the more expensive the school, the brattier the kids! (and sometimes the parents)
