Currently, I have 100k parked in SC bonusaver account earning 3.88%, 75k parked in 2 UOB one account earning 2.435%, 100k in a 5year endowment from OCBC-GE maturing next year march and around 70k in OCBC 360 account earning just the salary interest. I am considering between opening another SC bonusaver account or getting started on investing. However, as a full-time working mother with a kid and planning another, I worry I might not have time to monitor the investments.

I would advise engaging a financial planner to look after your portfolio on a macro level. The planner will ensure that whatever plans you have will be done via autopilot, together with looking out for your risk factors and gaps in your plans.
There are avenues such as robo advisors which have changed the playing field in investments. This platform can be used to generate higher returns. Investments via insurance channels are very specific and should only be done if you really require the legal benefits, as well as the insurance components that fits into your whole financial plan. You can calculate a guideline for wealth here:

The above should give you some guidelines for the wealth that will be generated through setting aside a percentage of your income every month.
Overall, if your concern is that you are busy with your career and family, engage a financial planner and your learning curve will be cut by decades.

It's better for you to dollar cost average monthly into ETFs, now it's so accessible, be it banks or robo platform.
Looking at your age and asset size, you definitely have discipline to invest on your own. Just dca in etf, you don't need to be knowledge inclined in investment to perform it.
Imo you don't need to reach out to someone to look after your portfolio, u already manage better than them :)
