Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Ms Ke has been a very attentive confinement nanny for us. She has kept our newborn so quiet at night, allowing me to rest, heal, and focus on pumping. Anytime I wake up to pump, I check the baby camera, and Ms Ke is usually up too with baby, comforting and feeding her; and then during the day, Ms Ke only naps 1-2 hours to catch up on sleep, I'm not sure how she does it! She is knowledgable on baby care, and knew what trusted brands to recommend us, like baby creams, vitamin drops, best bottle sterilizers, breast pump gear etc. She was also great in helping me increase my milk supply, as this is my second baby and always struggled with my supply during my first time. But now with the second baby I'm super close to feeding 100% breastmilk. Ms Ke was also great at multi-tasking caring for baby while also cooking large feasts for us to eat. She can cook many diverse Canton-style dishes, and we really enjoyed her baked goods, which she has made extra to keep in our freezer, so we have something to eat after she is gone. We are very grateful for all her effort and help!! She made our first month so much smoother than we could imagine."

"I really want to give our maternity nanny the praise she deserves—she was truly our lifesaver! I had expected the postpartum confinement period to be especially exhausting and chaotic, but these two months turned out to be so relaxed and happy. I’m really fortunate that we met her. First, in terms of caring for the baby: our baby sometimes wakes up every hour and a half, and usually needs to be fed every two or three hours, day and night. She has always been incredibly patient. When the baby wakes up in the middle of the night and fusses, she gets up to pat and soothe the baby. Because she was here, I was basically able to sleep through the night every day for these two months, and my energy and physical recovery came back quickly. That was truly so important! She is also extremely attentive with the baby’s everyday care. Washing the baby’s face, hair, body, and bottom are all handled perfectly every day. She applies diaper cream at every diaper change to prevent diaper rash. When the weather is nice, she takes the baby out into our neighborhood for some sunshine. If the baby’s nose makes even a slight sound, she pays attention to whether there is any mucus that needs to be cleaned out, and she also trims the baby’s nails regularly. These are all small things, but being able to take care of them so carefully every day is really not easy. She has also been exceptionally thoughtful in caring for me. I had a C-section and am not breastfeeding, and she would remind me in advance when I might experience breast engorgement or swelling. She would make ginger water for me to soak my feet in, and apple-and-red-date water for me to drink. Her everyday cooking also included light dishes such as tofu and loofah. Many times, she had already thought of things and taken care of them before I had even considered them myself. Another thing I especially love is that she is genuinely so easy to get along with! During my confinement period, my parents, relatives, and friends all came to visit us. While caring for the baby, she also helped cook and host everyone, and sometimes even took family photos for us. At home, we often chatted together and watched the baby together, so life felt quite lively. I had originally worried that confinement would be boring and anxiety-inducing, but these two months actually turned out to be especially happy. Sometimes my husband and I wanted to go out for a meal, go shopping, or meet friends, and we could confidently leave the baby with her. She was able to take wonderful care of the baby on her own, allowing us first-time parents to occasionally go out and relax. There is one more thing that I think is especially worth praising: during the final week before she finished her placement, she proactively began teaching my husband and me how to care for the baby ourselves. For example, how to tell why the baby is crying, how to hold the baby, burp the baby, and soothe the baby, as well as what to pay attention to in everyday care. She would demonstrate first and then let us try it ourselves, patiently showing us what to do if we did something incorrectly. It was not just about taking good care of the baby while she was here—she genuinely considered what we would do after she left. I think that is especially rare and valuable! After all, we are first-time parents, and if she left and we didn’t know how to do anything, we would really fall apart, haha. Having her teach us these things in advance has made us feel much more at ease. Now that she is almost done with her placement, we are truly already starting to feel reluctant to say goodbye. Over these two months, not only has the baby been very well cared for, but I have also recovered well, and our whole family has been very happy. What I had expected to be a very difficult confinement period unexpectedly became an especially happy memory. We are truly grateful for her care over these two months! If any friends are looking for a maternity nanny in the future, I would definitely recommend her. We are truly lucky to have met someone who is so conscientious, responsible, and easy to get along with! ❤️"

"I strongly recommend my wonderful postpartum nanny, Auntie Jiao Ji! I hired Auntie Jiao Ji to help care for my newborn for three months, and now that she is about to finish her placement, I sincerely want to recommend her to every expectant mother. As parents, we had clear expectations for our baby’s sleep habits: by the time the postpartum nanny left, we hoped the baby would be able to sleep through the night as much as possible, and we were firmly determined not to develop a habit of being held to sleep. Ideally, the baby would be able to fall asleep independently in the crib with just a little patting, or even without any patting. When Auntie Jiao Ji arrived, the baby was still very resistant to falling asleep independently and would wake up as soon as she was put down. But Auntie fully respected and strictly followed my requests and expectations while adjusting the baby’s schedule. The first few days were very difficult. In order not to hold the baby to sleep, she spent more than an hour every night just standing by the crib and patting the baby to sleep, then carefully settling the baby down. She devoted an enormous amount of energy and patience, and through repeated adjustments and persistence, she finally helped the baby develop the excellent habit of falling asleep independently in the crib. Now that Auntie is about to leave, the baby can not only fall asleep independently but can also basically sleep through the night. This has greatly reduced the burden on us as we continue caring for the baby ourselves! In addition to showing outstanding professionalism in childcare and sleep guidance, Auntie is also an exceptionally good cook. Her postpartum meals were a delicious, nutritionally balanced mix of meat and vegetables, so much so that I was “fed into gaining weight” during my postpartum recovery. As a mother exclusively breastfeeding, I found Auntie extremely professional during the early breastfeeding stage. Her technique was skillful, and she helped me get through the most difficult period smoothly. She was also very attentive in regularly making various postpartum drinks for me, making sure I stayed well hydrated every day and providing strong support for breastfeeding. Over these three months, with Auntie Jiao Ji’s professional care, both my baby and I had a very happy and reassuring time. If you are looking for a top-notch postpartum nanny who respects the mother’s wishes, has excellent childcare skills, and is also skilled at supporting postpartum recovery, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Auntie Jiao Ji!"
