Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"As first-time parents, the first maternity nanny we hired only worked for ten days before we replaced her because we were dissatisfied in several ways. It was not until we met Auntie Xu that we truly understood what a “heaven-sent maternity nanny” is! She absolutely deserves a big five-star review! First of all, Auntie Xu is a very professional traditional Chinese medicine lactation consultant. I often had blocked milk ducts after giving birth and was in terrible pain, but whenever she was there, she could quickly help clear them. Her technique was professional and gentle. Once, I went out to take care of something for nine hours and came back with my breasts blocked, red, painful, and with a fever. Auntie Xu immediately helped massage and clear them, and in just 40 minutes my temperature was completely back to normal. She relieved so much of my suffering and truly was my “savior”! She is impeccable both professionally and personally, a truly excellent maternity nanny who puts mothers and their families at ease! Second, her postpartum meals were absolutely outstanding! Not only were they nutritionally well balanced, but she was especially skilled at all kinds of dough-based foods. Auntie Xu spent 20 years in Guangdong when she was younger, and the many varieties of medicinal soups she made were delicious. My recovery in every respect during the postpartum period was excellent! She was originally responsible only for my postpartum meals, but whenever relatives or friends came over, she would ask whether help was needed and what everyone wanted to eat, and she could make all kinds of different dishes. Our whole family and friends could not stop praising her—she turned our postpartum meals into banquet-level family meals! What moved us most was her character. She has an especially good personality and is very broad-minded, and she got along extremely well with our entire family. Day or night, whenever we needed her, she was always available without complaint. She was especially thoughtful and attentive with our baby. Our baby was born 20 days early and was not fully developed. Through her careful care and adjustment, the baby developed a very regular routine, so when it was time for us to take over, the baby was very easy to care for! Eating and sleeping were still very regular, and the baby became chubby and adorable! I sincerely recommend that sisters who are still deciding should not hesitate if they meet a heavenly maternity nanny like Auntie Xu!"

"When I traveled to the United States in 2026 to give birth to my lovely daughter, Libao, Auntie Teng Xiu worked with our family as our maternity nanny. Throughout her time with us, Auntie Teng Xiu was highly responsible, gentle, and patient. She cared for the baby with great attention and thoroughness, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to rest and recover my postpartum strength and health. What impressed me most was that she had a very solid theoretical foundation in every aspect of childcare. Whenever I had questions about caring for my baby, she was always able to provide professional guidance and answers. During the entire postpartum confinement period, not only was the baby very well cared for, but I also gained a great deal of knowledge and skills, laying a solid foundation for caring for my baby myself afterward. At the same time, Auntie also did an excellent job caring for me as the mother. Her postpartum meals were light and delicious, and the postpartum drinks she prepared each day were also very tasty. With her attentive care, I got plenty of rest and was already full of energy before my confinement period was even over. Overall, I highly recommend Auntie Teng Xiu!"

"We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Zhang Jie care for our family, and we would hire her again without hesitation. She is exceptionally dependable, professional, hardworking, and caring, and we trusted her completely with our daughter. Zhang Jie joined us during a particularly challenging time. Our daughter spent her first 10 days in the NICU, while my wife was recovering from a C-section. Even though she could not yet care for the baby directly, Zhang Jie immediately found other ways to help and support our family. She prepared fresh, nutritious meals for us to bring to the hospital every day and was extremely attentive to my wife’s postpartum recovery. What touched us most was Zhang Jie’s care and emotional support for my wife. My wife does not speak Chinese, and Zhang Jie speaks limited English, but Zhang Jie seemed able to naturally sense when my wife was feeling low or especially needed comfort. Although they had only just met and did not share a language, Zhang Jie would take the initiative to hug her, comfort her, or simply stay by her side. She could understand others’ emotions without words and offer warmth and support. This thoughtfulness and empathy meant so much to us during one of the most difficult periods of our lives. Once our daughter came home, Zhang Jie continued to care for her with the same dedication and sense of responsibility. Our baby was not particularly easy to care for: she had significant gastroesophageal reflux and later needed oxygen while sleeping at night. Faced with these additional challenges and constantly changing circumstances, Zhang Jie never complained. Instead, she adapted carefully to our baby’s needs. No matter what happened, she always put our daughter’s safety, health, and comfort first. We always felt that, whatever the situation, we could leave our baby in her care with complete confidence. Zhang Jie also greatly respected us as parents. For example, when we wanted to try different sleep-training approaches, she was always willing to cooperate. Of course, she would also share her own opinions and suggestions based on her extensive experience, and we valued her input greatly. But if our final preferences differed from hers, she respected our decisions and cared for our baby in the way we requested. We appreciated this very much. Zhang Jie’s work ethic is also remarkable. She is always looking for ways to help. Even when we were caring for the baby ourselves and had told her to take a break, we would often find her cooking, vacuuming, cleaning, or doing other household tasks. Many of these were things we had never asked her to do and did not consider part of her main responsibilities. She is simply very hardworking and sincerely wants to help the family as much as possible. As a live-in postpartum nanny, Zhang Jie was also very easy to live with. She is independent, considerate, respectful of our privacy, and always tries not to add any burden to the household. Although my Chinese is limited and my wife does not speak Chinese at all, communication was never a real problem between us. Whenever something was not understood, Zhang Jie was always patient and would communicate slowly with us. When needed, she was also very willing to use translation apps until everyone fully understood one another. Most importantly, we could feel that Zhang Jie takes her work very seriously and genuinely cares about the babies and families she looks after. She combines extensive experience with a highly professional and responsible work ethic, while also being warm, empathetic, and hardworking. She not only took excellent care of our daughter, but also gave us a great deal of support as we became new parents during a very difficult period, making our lives much easier. We are truly grateful for everything Zhang Jie did for our family. We would feel completely comfortable and sincerely recommend her to any family looking for an excellent postpartum nanny or caregiver."
