Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"I hired Auntie Chen Yu through a friend’s recommendation. I am very grateful for the attentive care she gave both my baby and me during this period. Meeting her has been a blessing and good fortune for our whole family. She is very professional at lactation support and relieving blocked milk ducts. My milk supply soon reached a balance between supply and demand. I breastfeed during the day and pump at night, which lets me rest better. Auntie Chen is very experienced, patient, and attentive in caring for babies. She can promptly notice even the smallest changes in the baby and handle them well. She knows the right techniques, such as adjusting the baby’s position during feeding to minimize air intake. She keeps records of feeding, burping, bathing, bowel movements and urination, and sleep. In particular, before putting the baby into the bathwater, she wraps the baby in a swaddle first and then places the baby in the tub, so the baby is not scared. She also often helps exercise the baby’s vision, including visual tracking, tummy lifting, and looking at cards. Especially when the baby had gas and cried fussily during the second month, she would do gas-relief exercises, apply a warm compress to the tummy, and use the airplane hold. The baby would keep crying in our hands, but as soon as Auntie took the baby, the crying would quickly stop. We first-time parents simply could not handle it. With Auntie’s attentive care, the baby got through the gassy stage smoothly and developed a very regular sleep schedule. Auntie Chen has a gentle personality, a kind-looking face, and speaks appropriately. She has a good sense of boundaries and is very comfortable to communicate with. We lived together without any pressure and got along harmoniously, almost like friends. What deserves the most praise is that her cooking is excellent. We love everything she makes. Every day, she prepared different dishes for us, along with various postpartum teas, all of which I really enjoyed. For mothers who need someone to help them get through the most difficult postpartum confinement period, it is extremely important to find a professional, responsible maternity nanny who gives peace of mind. I sincerely thank Auntie Chen for her dedication and companionship during this period. If we have a second baby, we will hire Auntie Chen again, and she is even more worthy of recommendation to other mothers. [Heart]"

"Auntie Xie is a very professional postpartum nanny. She was especially patient in caring for the baby, and handled feeding, soothing the baby to sleep, and daily care carefully and thoughtfully. When we took the baby for a well-child check, the doctor even praised how well the baby was growing; both weight and height met the standards, which was truly reassuring. The baby had fairly severe gas, and we were combination feeding. Every time I finished breastfeeding, Auntie Xie would patiently top up with formula and burp the baby. She would spend one or even two hours burping the baby, and was incredibly patient. Since all the second-floor rooms were occupied, the room we prepared for Auntie Xie was on the first floor, while the baby and I stayed on the second floor. After I breastfed in the middle of the night, I would call Auntie Xie, and she would go up and down the stairs to change diapers, supplement with formula, and burp the baby. She had to go through this several times a night. It was really very hard work, yet she never complained once. Auntie Xie is from Guangdong and makes especially delicious soups. She helped restore my health very well during my postpartum confinement, and I had nourishing soup every day. Her cooking was also very good. I am from Chengdu, and originally thought postpartum meals would be bland and difficult to eat, but the result completely exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every meal, the nutrition was well balanced, and my complexion recovered quite well during confinement. Auntie Xie also patiently taught me how to care for the baby, so that after she finished her placement, I was able to manage on my own. She taught us step by step and hands-on how to position the baby for burping, feed, change diapers, clean the baby's bottom, do infant massage, and bathe the baby. This was especially helpful for first-time parents like us, helping us understand the baby and master childcare skills more quickly. Auntie Xie also has a professional lactation-massage certificate, and she was a huge help with my breastfeeding. I previously had hard lumps in my breasts, with swelling and pain. After she provided lactation massage, the lumps were gone, my breasts became softer, and breastfeeding went much more smoothly. She was truly very professional."

"We were so fortunate to hire Auntie Gao! Auntie Gao Fuxiu is professional and attentive, with especially extensive experience, and she helped us solve countless problems throughout the entire postpartum confinement period. I was physically weak after giving birth, and Auntie Gao thoughtfully took care of my daily needs. Every day, she prepared nutritious postpartum meals on schedule that supported milk production without being greasy; they were light and tasty and helped me recover very well. She was even more adept at caring for the baby: bathing, infant massage, burping, and putting the baby to sleep were all handled skillfully and reliably. When the baby cried from gas discomfort, Auntie Gao could always soothe the baby quickly. When the baby woke frequently at night, she would get up on her own to care for the baby, allowing me to rest peacefully without having to stay up late. Auntie Gao is hardworking, efficient, and clean. She washed and sterilized the baby’s clothes and bottles thoroughly every time, and kept the home neat and tidy as well. She also has a gentle personality and is easy to communicate with. She is patient when issues arise, and while caring for the baby, she also taught my husband and me practical baby-care skills step by step. It was not rigid lecturing, but real, practical experience accumulated over many years. We felt very comfortable throughout the entire confinement period, with none of the tension or awkwardness. I sincerely recommend Auntie Gao—she is reliable, down-to-earth, and highly skilled. Choosing Auntie Gao was the best decision we made!"
