Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie Zhong has a background in early childhood education and is very capable of caring for children independently. In our home: From the time she started caring for our younger child, she systematically helped the baby establish a good routine, successfully weaned night feeds, and gradually built the ability to fall asleep independently and naturally. During this time, the baby made very noticeable progress in social skills, frustration tolerance, language expression, and other areas, which is inseparable from Auntie’s day-by-day thoughtful guidance. Outside of work, she has consistently continued taking childcare courses online. She is able to adjust her interaction methods in a timely way according to the child’s developmental characteristics at different stages. We really admire her professionalism and commitment to continuous learning. Every day she gave us detailed updates about the baby, and when issues came up, she proactively communicated with us and reached agreement before moving forward, which made us feel especially reassured. What moved us most was that she was very understanding of our difficulties. She also took the initiative to help coordinate care for our older child, not only helping us improve the older child’s behavior and habits, but also strengthening the bond between the siblings, who now get along harmoniously and lovingly. She helped relieve a great deal of pressure on our family. Auntie works efficiently, loves cleanliness, and is organized. She treated us like family. Now, because our child is going to school, we have no choice but to end our arrangement with her, and we feel extremely reluctant to part. Such a professional, responsible, and caring auntie truly deserves to be recommended to more families! Auntie Zhong will need to start a new job in May. 💙Expected compensation: 💜Commute: starting at $35/hour for 4 hours 💙Live-in: no co-sleeping or separate-room co-sleeping (when the time is right), daily rate $250–280/day, with 11 paid statutory holidays (double pay for overtime) 💜Qualifications for starting work: 1️⃣ Early education and Montessori early education certificate 2️⃣ Family education guidance certificate 3️⃣ Health manager certificate 4️⃣ Psychological counselor certificate Auntie lives in Silicon Valley 95129 WeChat: Z1072813600"

"This was our first time hiring Sister Hua to come to our home as a postpartum nanny, and both my spouse and I were very satisfied. We also feel very fortunate to have met such a professional and responsible ayi. Sister Hua was especially patient with our baby, careful and conscientious in everything she did, and very experienced in caring for children, which gave us great peace of mind. She is also very skilled at cooking—the food was delicious and nutritious, and the home-style dishes suited our taste very well. She was always very efficient in her work, hardworking and quick, never lazy, and she would proactively do whatever needed to be done when she saw it. She was also very willing to communicate and had a great personality, so it was very comfortable getting along with her, and we could promptly discuss anything that came up. When friends occasionally came over, she was also willing to help cook a big table of dishes, without finding it troublesome or being afraid of hard work. What moved us the most was that before she left, she even helped us do a thorough cleaning and cleaned the whole house inside and out until it was spotless. Up to now, both my spouse and I have been very happy and very satisfied. If we have a second child in the future, we will definitely hire her again."

"I had an authentic Cantonese-style postpartum confinement in a foreign country 🇺🇸 Because I’m Cantonese, I really identify with the postpartum confinement customs from my hometown, so from the very beginning I was determined to find a Cantonese yuesao. I’m so grateful I met Sister Lan—we were truly a perfect match! Every day, Sister Lan would cook postpartum herbal water based on my physical condition, make mugwort water to wipe me down to help prevent exposure to cold, and prepare herbal bath packs for washing my hair while constantly paying attention to my wound condition... She was also super professional with the baby. She helped scientifically adjust the baby’s milk intake, and taught us how to prevent the baby from getting gassy too early. During the confinement month, she also helped the baby develop a sleep habit of distinguishing day from night. She has a cheerful and lively personality! She was the source of joy for our whole family, and all the elders liked her very much. I’m truly very grateful for Sister Lan’s care during this more than one month. Young, experienced, and patient. With her here, I did not feel anxious or worried for even a moment."
