Hi, so far I hear prices mostly between 2400 -2800. I guess depends on experience etc, and how she works. Ang bao rate now I am not sure... I think between 18-50 for initial and 2nd one usually more. Depends how you felt about her work. For mine 4 years back, I gave her 28 for initial angbao and i think 80 + or 100 for 2nd one, cause she did a very good job.
 
This is not through an agency right? I also managed to find one recommended by friend.

She asked for deposit of $300, is this the norm?

What do we need to check with her before engaging her?

She mentioned these few points:
-$2400
-2 angpows for when she first comes and before she leaves
-She'll cook meals for hubby and herself too
-She'll hand wash or machine as baby clothes (I don't care la, machine ash also can)
-We need to apply work permit for her


What else do I need to take note of? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Asking for deposit is normal for some CL.
Just in case you find another CL and decide to not hire her.
But for applying work permit think you shall not been applying for her.
