Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"We were very fortunate to meet Auntie Ding during the life stage when we welcomed our first baby. As first-time parents, the anxiety and uncertainty of becoming parents for the first time were greatly eased on the very first day Auntie Ding joined our family. Her words, “Leave the baby to me. Don’t worry. Get some good rest,” truly made us feel incredibly at ease throughout these three months. Whether it was her professional and meticulous baby care, her attentive care for me as the mother, her healthy and delicious confinement meals that were on par with a private chef’s, or her gentle and thoughtful communication style that helped resolve occasional childcare disagreements between two generations, all of it allowed me, during the three months after giving birth, to transition into this new stage of life with more composure and peace of mind. When it came to baby care, Auntie Ding was experienced, careful, and professional. Whether it was feeding, daily care, soothing the baby to sleep, or infant massage, she was very skilled, and she would also flexibly adjust the routine based on the baby’s condition each day. At the same time, she was especially supportive of and actively cooperated with my goal of breastfeeding, and with her encouragement and help, the baby was ultimately able to switch freely between direct breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. For first-time parents, Auntie Ding was not only caring for the baby, but also using her experience to help us build confidence, so that we could accompany our baby’s growth day by day with a more relaxed and reassured mindset. In caring for me as the mother, Auntie Ding’s thoughtfulness showed in every little detail of daily life. The confinement meals she made were nutritionally balanced and very delicious, truly at a private-chef level, and she would also thoughtfully prepare all kinds of healthy snacks, making every meal something to look forward to. In addition to her careful attention to my diet, she also paid great attention to the details of postpartum recovery, from daily wellness routines such as herbal health tea and foot soaks, to helping me stimulate milk production and relieve several severe episodes of clogged milk ducts during breastfeeding. Her professional massage techniques gave me a great deal of help and improvement. Even more rare was that Auntie Ding had an optimistic and open-minded personality, stable emotions, and a great deal of wisdom. When family members occasionally had different childcare philosophies, she was always able to communicate and coordinate in a gentle and skillful way, taking everyone’s feelings into account while also reducing the pressure and burden on me as a new mother. I am deeply grateful for Auntie Ding’s attentive companionship and care over these three months. Her professionalism, patience, meticulousness, and sense of responsibility made what could have been a very challenging postpartum recovery period feel easier and warmer. Being able to meet such an excellent and reassuring maternity nanny is truly a very fortunate thing, and I sincerely and strongly recommend her to every new family."

"Auntie Que was very professional and very loving toward our baby. She helped the baby recover well from jaundice and cleared the tear duct blockage. Our baby’s colic started relatively early in the second month, and she consistently soothed and cared for the baby with great patience and attention. By the time she finished her stay, the baby was already noticeably much better, and we truly felt much more relaxed and reassured. With her here, our whole family was able to get good rest. Auntie also took very good care of me as the new mom. From the start of her service, every week she cooked different recovery drinks for me and paired them with nutritious and healthy postpartum meals to help with my postpartum recovery and increase my milk supply. She also patiently talked me through my postpartum emotions and gave me a lot of help and comfort both physically and emotionally. In the week before she left, she personally taught us many baby-care skills hand in hand. From small things like how to hold the baby comfortably, burp the baby, bathe the baby, and do infant massage, to bigger things like soothing the baby to sleep and daily care, she patiently demonstrated and explained everything, helping us first-time parents gradually gain confidence and feel more at ease taking over the baby’s care. Lastly, her cooking was also especially delicious, and she was particularly good at flour-based dishes and Sichuan cuisine. During my postpartum month, she made many homemade dishes I loved, such as wontons, big plate chicken, and stir-fried beef with green peppers, as well as fermented sweet rice, egg-filled pancakes, and all kinds of hearty breakfasts, all with very good nutritional balance. Overall, Auntie was conscientious and responsible, and she made the whole postpartum confinement period feel much happier. My baby and I are both very grateful to her."

"Thank you to Auntie Ye for taking such meticulous care of our baby over the past month. Under this amazing auntie’s care, our low-birthweight baby has been growing strong, and mom and dad were also lucky enough to be fed delicious meals every day. Watching such an experienced auntie care for the baby really taught us, as first-time parents, a lot. Below is dad’s review: 叶女士是一位非常出色的月嫂。我们是第一次当父母，我们的宝宝提前了几周出生，但叶女士非常灵活，在我们从医院回家的第二天就到了。我们立刻感觉到，我们——还有宝宝——都交到了可靠的人手里。我们的宝宝出生体重偏低，一开始每顿奶都喝不够，但叶女士很快就让他能喝到所需的奶量，没过多久宝宝就长得很好了。我们还从她那里学到了很多细节技巧，包括怎样防止宝宝尿到尿布外面，以及怎样护理屁股避免红屁屁。和她一起工作了几周后，我们对如何照顾宝宝有信心多了！ 与此同时，叶女士在我们家里一直都是一个开朗、积极的存在。她照顾夜奶，让我们能够休息，还做了我们都很喜欢的美味饭菜。但最重要的是，在这段我们人生中最快乐却也最具挑战的经历之一里，她始终是一只冷静而有引导力的手。遇到困难的时候，她总能凭借丰富的经验安慰我们。还有那些看起来怎么都哄不好儿子的时刻，我们会看到她把他抱起来，很快就安抚好了；之后她还会进一步教我们怎样也能把他安抚下来。我们会非常推荐她给任何人。"
