Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Time has flown by—my postpartum confinement period is over in the blink of an eye. Looking back on this past month, the thing I feel luckiest about is hiring such an excellent maternity nanny as Auntie Qian. I had to write a long review today to praise her properly and give other sisters looking for a maternity nanny something to refer to. First, I absolutely have to rave about Auntie Qian’s cooking! During postpartum confinement, drinking soup and eating nourishing foods every day can easily become tiresome, but Auntie Qian’s cooking truly won over this foodie. Her dishes were not only attractively plated and refreshing-looking, but, more importantly, they had excellent color, aroma, and flavor. She changed things up every day, with no repetition at all. Some of her signature dishes included sliced pork stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms and green peppers, which was fragrant and perfect with rice; braised pomfret and whole braised crucian carp, with rich, mellow reduced sauce and tender, flavorful fish; braised pork ribs with potatoes, with fall-off-the-bone ribs and soft, creamy potatoes; and stir-fried chicken pieces with red and green peppers, which looked incredibly appetizing. Every dish was richly seasoned and saucy without sacrificing nutrition. She met both my postpartum recovery needs and my appetite. Thanks to her attentive meal planning, I had plenty of breast milk, recovered especially well, and even kept my weight under great control. That was absolutely inseparable from her care. Besides her delicious cooking, Auntie Qian was also impeccable in professional care. She was very experienced with babies, and our baby became fair, chubby, and well-routined under her care. Burping, baby massage, bathing, and diaper changes—every movement was skillful and gentle. During the few days when our baby had jaundice, she was even more anxious than I was. She observed the baby day and night and scientifically suggested more sun exposure, more feeding, and more bowel movements, helping the baby get through that small hurdle smoothly. At night, she was practically available whenever called, allowing me to sleep through the night with peace of mind, which was incredibly important for my postpartum recovery. Auntie Qian also has a wonderful personality—cheerful, warmhearted, and she got along with our whole family like one of us. She is very observant. When I occasionally had emotional ups and downs after giving birth, she always patiently comforted me, told me lots of interesting parenting stories, and eased my anxiety. She also took care of all the big and small matters in the house. Everything was cleaned spotless every day, and the kitchen stove was always clean and tidy. She worked efficiently and never dragged things out. Meeting Auntie Qian was a blessing for our whole family. She not only healed my postpartum confinement period with delicious food, but also protected both my baby and me with her professionalism and care. I sincerely recommend her to every expectant mother. Auntie Qian is absolutely a treasured maternity nanny worthy of trust. She fully deserves a five-star rating. I’m so grateful to have met her!"

"We hired ayi for two months. The best decision we’ve ever made. Ayi took really good care of me. She cultivated a rich, delicious and TCM based diet for me the entire time. Ayi’s postpartum massages are also super helpful. My body recovered fast and my milk came in on day three. Ayi is incredibly caring and knowledgeable with infants. She took care of the technical tasks with ease. She also nurtured our daughter’s early development. Ayi is honest, kind, generous, outgoing, and straightforward. We learned so much from ayi, and really wish we have hired her for longer!! "

"I chose Sister Hua on a friend’s recommendation, and now I’m recommending her to everyone! Before Sister Hua came to my home, I was on the fourth day postpartum and struggling with severe breast engorgement. As expected of an advanced lactation specialist, after several lactation sessions, she finally resolved my painfully hard, engorged breasts. The food Sister Hua made was also very helpful for postpartum recovery: five-red porridge, all kinds of soups, and various sweet desserts. In just two weeks, I felt that my energy and blood had recovered very well. Before she finished her assignment with our family, she also specially made lots of egg-yolk pastries, chive pockets, and wontons, filling up my refrigerator. In addition, Sister Hua took excellent care of the baby. Whether bathing the baby, cleaning the baby’s bottom, doing infant massage, feeding, burping, soothing the baby to sleep, or helping the baby practice lifting their head, Sister Hua was always patient and caring. She also noticed that the baby’s head shape was slightly uneven and helped adjust it. Sister Hua always said that my baby was an angel baby, and my baby was always especially happy to see her. Thank you, Sister Hua, for all your hard work. You helped me get good rest during my postpartum confinement period and helped these first-time parents avoid many pitfalls."
