Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"She is a very caring nanny with extremely rich experience. She is skilled and methodical in caring for young babies. A crying baby becomes comfortable in her hands, and she also helped adjust the baby’s sleep schedule, so the baby slept very well. She took excellent care of me as a new mother, and her cooking and soups were so delicious. After my surgery, I used to feel like fainting every day around 6:00 p.m. because I had no strength. After having the meals she prepared to support my recovery, I felt much more energetic in just one week. I am very grateful to have met such a good nanny. Thank you. She is gentle and kept working constantly in my home. I was so grateful for her help during that most difficult time. My husband also said we were very lucky to find such a good postpartum nanny. One of my friends hired a postpartum nanny she was not satisfied with and felt very upset during her confinement period; it became a bad memory for life. She never slacked off when feeding the baby in the middle of the night. My husband checked the records. We had always worried that if the nanny slept with the baby, she might forget the nighttime feeds. She truly put us at ease. She also helped me organize piles of messy clothes and belongings neatly. As a first-time mother, I really did not know anything. She taught me so, so much—how to feed the baby, what positions are good for the baby, and what is good for my physical recovery. I learned a great deal."

"We feel especially fortunate to have met Auntie An through a friend’s introduction. Because our baby was premature, we were extremely anxious at first, but Auntie An’s highly professional care made all the difference. She not only has extensive childcare knowledge and many practical baby-care skills, but also genuinely loves and cares for children. Over this past month, our baby ate well, slept soundly, and gained weight very well. As a result, I was able to sleep through the night with peace of mind every day, and my postpartum recovery went especially well. Auntie An also patiently taught us her experience step by step, completely rescuing us first-time parents from our panic. Even more surprising is her excellent cooking! Her postpartum meals are nutritionally balanced and full of variety. She is especially skilled at baking pastries and preparing nourishing foods to help the body recover. We are truly so lucky to have found such a caring and capable maternity nanny. Highly recommended!"

"During the month of my postpartum confinement, what satisfied my family and me most was Auntie Liu, our maternity nanny’s “divine cooking skills.” Her meal planning in particular not only made me, a first-time mother, feel comfortable and well fed, but also made my postpartum recovery and breastfeeding much more effective. Auntie Liu absolutely deserves a huge five-star review! Auntie Liu’s postpartum meals were by no means ordinary “heavy nourishment.” Instead, they emphasized “scientific proportions, balanced nutrition, and appealing presentation.” You could see her care from the table she prepared: the meat and vegetables were paired just right, with excellent color, aroma, and flavor. Every meal included abundant protein, vitamins, and whole grains, satisfying my appetite without making me worry at all about losing my figure. When it came to variety, Auntie Liu truly put a great deal of thought into it. There were always dishes such as braised fish pieces, poached fresh shrimp, fried (or braised) chicken pieces, as well as sliced braised pork tongue/braised meat and tempting glutinous-rice-stuffed lotus root on the table. These substantial dishes provided plenty of high-quality protein and iron, which were extremely helpful for replenishing my blood after delivery and improving the quality of my breast milk. That full bowl of fried meatballs (or steamed meatballs) was soft, tender, and flavorful; having one occasionally was especially satisfying. At the same time, she never overlooked the importance of vegetables: refreshing cold cucumber salad, celery stir-fried with diced carrots, hand-torn cabbage (or cold lettuce salad), and sliced potatoes stir-fried with green peppers all cut through the richness and aided digestion. There was also a bowl of red-broth cabbage (or a sour-and-spicy cold dish), which was appetizing and went perfectly with rice, greatly improving my appetite. Auntie Liu clearly understands the principle of “stage-based dietary nourishment.” In the early postpartum period, she focused on light foods to help clear the body and promote milk production; only in the middle and later stages did she gradually add richer dishes such as braised and marinated foods to help restore my energy. Her soups were especially outstanding: fish and meat stews had rich but non-greasy broths. After drinking them, my milk supply noticeably increased, and I did not have the problem of blocked milk ducts. The alternation of staple foods and cold dishes, such as lotus root and cold salads, kept the meals from becoming monotonous throughout the entire confinement period. In addition to her excellent cooking, Auntie Liu paid special attention to hygiene and table details. At every meal, the dishes and chopsticks were neatly arranged, and the table was abundant without being cluttered, making eating feel like an enjoyment. Family members occasionally ate with us as well, and they all praised Auntie Liu’s cooking. They said the spread looked as lavish as a New Year’s feast, yet it was actually our everyday routine. Meeting Auntie Liu was our good fortune. She cared for my postpartum month through the thought she put into three meals a day. If you also want a worry-free confinement period where you “eat well, recover well, and have plenty of milk,” I strongly recommend Auntie Liu. Her meal planning will definitely keep surprising you!"
