Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie Haiyan is truly highly recommended! Throughout the entire postpartum confinement period, she cared for the baby with great attentiveness, patience, and gentleness. She put a lot of care into every little detail for the newborn and patiently helped soothe the mother’s emotions, making the postpartum recovery process feel much more reassuring. Her postpartum meals were another major highlight. She prepared different dishes every day, with rich and nutritious combinations, and they were genuinely delicious—at a chef-level standard. Even more rare, Auntie Haiyan got along wonderfully with our older daughter. Our whole family likes her very much. Our older daughter talked about “Grandma Haiyan” every day and always wanted to play with her. She is especially warm and loving! Haha. We are very grateful to Auntie Haiyan for her thoughtful care during this time. She made our whole family feel so much warmth and peace of mind."

"The nanny was conscientious and responsible in her work, and she was also very straightforward. She got along well with our family. From morning to night, she cared for the baby, prepared postpartum meals, and took care of things such as the mother’s postpartum herbal water. She was extremely hardworking. I really admired her energy. I often told her that if she needed it, my family could lend a hand in the afternoon so she could catch up on sleep, and we could take care of the baby at night. But she always said that when the baby slept, she would sleep too—even just a short nap was enough. I truly admired her energy. In caring for me postpartum, she carefully reminded me not to touch cold water or take food out of the refrigerator, saying she would do it instead. She also reminded me to wear socks and keep warm. When I was in a bad mood after giving birth, she would talk with me as well. In caring for the baby, she was also very attentive. When the baby developed acne for the first time, I thought it was eczema and used Tubby Todd. The nanny promptly reminded me to ask the doctor, saying it seemed to be acne rather than eczema and that such a heavy cream should not be used. She said we should simply wash the baby’s face with water and let it clear up naturally. She also noticed promptly when the baby had trouble breathing because of boogers in the nose, and so on. For sleep, she consistently insisted on settling the baby to sleep lying flat in the crib rather than holding the baby to sleep. We are very grateful to the nanny for accompanying us through the first month of my physical recovery and caring for our newborn. She allowed me to regain my strength and helped establish some sleep habits for the baby, so that my family and I could smoothly take over the baby’s care after she completed her placement."

"I recommend my postpartum nanny, Grace Zhang. Sister Zhang is very experienced in caring for postpartum mothers and newborn babies. She is very attentive and patient with the baby’s feeding, burping, bathing, sleep, and daily care. I especially liked the postpartum meals she made. She varied the dishes every day, arranged a rich variety of soups and nourishing drinks, and adjusted them according to my physical condition. I breastfed exclusively, so I also cared a lot about my milk supply. Sister Zhang prepared soups and foods suitable for breastfeeding, and reminded me to rest and replenish my nutrition. For mothers who want to continue breastfeeding, having a postpartum nanny who knows how to care for a breastfeeding mother is truly important. She is also very proactive; I did not have to tell her what to do every step of the way. Mothers are already exhausted during the postpartum period, and having to constantly tell the postpartum nanny what to do next would be tiring too. Sister Zhang arranged many things on her own, which I really appreciated. She is also easygoing and pleasant to be around, so there was no pressure living with her. After all, a postpartum nanny lives in your home 24 hours a day. Beyond experience, I think personality and feeling comfortable together are also very important. I recommend Sister Zhang."
