Living in a private condo with maid, 2 adults with a toddler, probably cost S$ 8k a month. It's easy to get a maid, but mostly from Indonesia.

Your 1st few questions are very broad, I shall help you with just the last question. Professional nannies do not come cheap (about $2500/mth). They're mostly employed thru word of mouth and are generally from Malaysia. Maids are mainly employed for dosmestic work but may double as nanny if u're ok with it.

This really depends on your expectations and lifestyle. There are options for every kind of budget. There's some good general advice on relocating to Singapore on the Contact Singapore website: http://www.contactsingapore.sg/home/index.php/eng/moving_to_singapore This covers housing, domestic help, etc. good luck^^

Depending on what standard of living you are looking for. For a couple with toddler, a combined income of about $6k will be reasonable if you prepare to rent a hdb 3 rm at $1,800 or lesser if you rent a room for $600 to $800. However if you are looking at a higher standard of living, you may need at least $10k a month.
