Why enquire early?
Experienced carers have limited availability, and popular months (summer, around Lunar New Year) fill up early. Enquiring early gives you time to interview and compare.
A general timeline
A good general guide is to start enquiring from around week 20. The timeline below is general guidance, not statistics.
What affects timing
- Whether your due date falls in a popular month
- Whether you need live-in care and a spare room
- Preferred language (Cantonese, Mandarin or English)
- Your area and partner coverage
Already past 30 weeks?
You’re still very welcome to enquire — your advisor will plan around current availability.
