Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie Liu worked as my postpartum nanny for two months, and during these two months I had a very good postpartum recovery period. My body recovered very well in every respect, and this was largely thanks to her professionalism, attentiveness, and patience. Her lactation massage skills are truly impressive. During my postpartum period I had clogged milk ducts three times, and each time Auntie Liu handled it herself. Her technique was professional and did not make it unbearably painful, and she dealt with it quickly and thoroughly. We do not have a lactation consultant here, so this was really important. Auntie Liu has a cheerful personality, and during the time we spent together she kept me in a good mood, without that kind of oppressive or anxious feeling. At the same time, she also has a strong sense of boundaries. When my mood improved, breastfeeding also became easier. She also did a great job with the baby’s routine. During the postpartum month, she first helped the baby build a strong sense of security, and after the month was over she gradually guided the baby toward a regular schedule. Now the baby eats and sleeps very regularly. In this process, she did not rigidly apply any one feeding theory, but instead fed scientifically based on the baby’s actual situation. It was clear that she was truly observing and adjusting with care, not just going through the motions. We felt completely comfortable entrusting our second baby to Auntie Liu, and we were also able to focus on taking care of our older child’s emotions. Everyone was very happy. Auntie Liu has served many families with multiple children, and she also often communicated and interacted with our older child, very harmoniously. Auntie Liu’s cooking is also beyond reproach. She balances meat and vegetables, makes both Chinese and Western snacks, is also very skilled at noodles and other wheat-based foods, and works very quickly. She was able to prepare all three meals in between caring for the baby—her efficiency is amazing!! Two months went by too quickly. We really hated to see her leave. I strongly recommend her to everyone!!"

"Becoming a mother for the first time, during the most precious forty-plus days of my life, I was very lucky to have Sister Liang by my side. While Sister Liang took such good care of the baby that the baby became fair and chubby, she also happened to take care of me so well that I gained four or five pounds... I will miss the mantou, baozi, dumplings, and pancakes she made. Some flavors will remain in memory together with a special period of time. In addition to taking care of the baby, Sister Liang is also a packing expert! Before she left, the baby’s ready-to-feed milk, supplies, and luggage were all organized neatly by her. Anyway, for my second baby, I have already booked Sister Liang two years in advance! Thank you, Sister Liang. I also sincerely recommend her to every expectant mother, and I hope you can also have a postpartum recovery period that feels reassuring, steady, and full of happiness."

"Auntie Zhou came to our home in early June to help us take care of our newborn baby. She is very professional and also very patient, and she understands very clearly the baby’s daily changes during this month, such as how much the baby should eat and how many times the baby should have bowel movements... Under her careful care, the baby has also grown very well. She is also very good at making foods made with flour; steamed buns, twisted steamed rolls, stuffed flatbreads, and baked flatbreads are all her specialties. Every day she made different postpartum meals for the mother. With Auntie Zhou’s help, we were able to experience the joy of having a child. Every night, Auntie would feed the baby on time and burp the baby. With her there, we felt very reassured. We are very grateful that the baby met such a good auntie in the first month after birth. Thank you, Auntie Zhou!"
