Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"I strongly recommend my wonderful postpartum nanny, Auntie Jiao Ji! I hired Auntie Jiao Ji to help care for my newborn for three months, and now that she is about to finish her placement, I sincerely want to recommend her to every expectant mother. As parents, we had clear expectations for our baby’s sleep habits: by the time the postpartum nanny left, we hoped the baby would be able to sleep through the night as much as possible, and we were firmly determined not to develop a habit of being held to sleep. Ideally, the baby would be able to fall asleep independently in the crib with just a little patting, or even without any patting. When Auntie Jiao Ji arrived, the baby was still very resistant to falling asleep independently and would wake up as soon as she was put down. But Auntie fully respected and strictly followed my requests and expectations while adjusting the baby’s schedule. The first few days were very difficult. In order not to hold the baby to sleep, she spent more than an hour every night just standing by the crib and patting the baby to sleep, then carefully settling the baby down. She devoted an enormous amount of energy and patience, and through repeated adjustments and persistence, she finally helped the baby develop the excellent habit of falling asleep independently in the crib. Now that Auntie is about to leave, the baby can not only fall asleep independently but can also basically sleep through the night. This has greatly reduced the burden on us as we continue caring for the baby ourselves! In addition to showing outstanding professionalism in childcare and sleep guidance, Auntie is also an exceptionally good cook. Her postpartum meals were a delicious, nutritionally balanced mix of meat and vegetables, so much so that I was “fed into gaining weight” during my postpartum recovery. As a mother exclusively breastfeeding, I found Auntie extremely professional during the early breastfeeding stage. Her technique was skillful, and she helped me get through the most difficult period smoothly. She was also very attentive in regularly making various postpartum drinks for me, making sure I stayed well hydrated every day and providing strong support for breastfeeding. Over these three months, with Auntie Jiao Ji’s professional care, both my baby and I had a very happy and reassuring time. If you are looking for a top-notch postpartum nanny who respects the mother’s wishes, has excellent childcare skills, and is also skilled at supporting postpartum recovery, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Auntie Jiao Ji!"

"Before Sister Xu came to our home, we had already gone through two maternity nannies, so at first we had very little trust in maternity nannies. We had originally planned to let Sister Xu do a one-week trial. Before we knew it, though, she had already been with our baby for two months. We feel so fortunate to have met her! When Sister Xu first took over, our baby had just turned two months old. Not only did she have her days and nights reversed, but she also had especially severe gas and often could not sleep well all night. The previous two maternity nannies had been at a loss. The baby could not sleep, the nanny could not sleep through the night, and we had to take turns getting up in the middle of the night to watch the baby. The whole family was exhausted. To our surprise, on Sister Xu’s very first night, she successfully helped the baby with her gas, and the baby was finally able to get a restful sleep. Our whole family could finally rest properly too! Also, the previous nannies had unsafe practices such as cosleeping with the baby in the middle of the night, which made us anxiously watch the monitor every night and unable to sleep peacefully. Sister Xu, on the other hand, is familiar with AAP Safe Sleep guidelines. She never shares a bed with the baby, never puts bedding in the crib, and never leaves the baby unattended while sleeping on her stomach. During the two months Sister Xu has been with us, we have no longer had to stare at the monitor in the middle of the night worrying about the baby’s safety! Not only is Sister Xu attentive and professional in caring for the baby, she is also especially experienced at establishing a routine. In less than a week, she helped our baby, who had her days and nights reversed, develop a habit of falling asleep promptly at 8 p.m. She also helped the baby establish a regular eat-play-sleep routine for the entire day. As first-time parents, we finally learned when to feed the baby and when to play with her, instead of being as confused as before and starting to soothe her to sleep right after feeding. Our baby used to cry as soon as we went out, so during the first two months we barely took her outside. On Sister Xu’s first day, she began gradually taking the baby out, starting with five or ten minutes. Now the baby can go out twice a day, with each walk lasting an hour! Sister Xu also pays close attention to the baby’s early development and arranges appropriate interaction and exercises based on the baby’s condition. In just a few days, we could clearly see progress in the baby’s head lifting, visual tracking, sound tracking, rolling over, and other areas. Also, the contract we initially booked did not include cooking, but after Sister Xu became very comfortable caring for the baby, she voluntarily started cooking for us as well. Sister Xu learned cooking specifically from a professional chef, and her food is especially delicious—particularly her flour-based dishes, which are completely restaurant quality. From initially only daring to try a one-week trial, to happily spending two months together. Seeing our baby go from having gas, reversed days and nights, and crying whenever she went out, to now eating, playing, and sleeping on a regular schedule every day and happily going out for walks, the baby’s changes over these two months are the best proof of Sister Xu’s professional abilities!"

"As a first-time mother, I am very grateful to Sister Xue for coming to our home during the first two months after our baby was born and taking such attentive care of us and the baby. I still remember how exhausted we were when we first returned home from the hospital. As soon as Sister Xue started, she immediately got into the rhythm of things and independently and skillfully arranged all the work, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to rest without worry. She has extensive experience caring for newborns and is very patient. She taught us step by step how to handle the baby’s daily care, which benefited us enormously as new parents. Sister Xue is also an excellent cook! Every day, she prepared delicious and nutritious three meals and snacks for me, making me very happy with my meals during postpartum recovery, and my body recovered quickly as well. Sister Xue works very efficiently, is conscientious and responsible, and has a good sense of boundaries. She has her own principles for getting things done, stays focused and diligent while working, and does not disturb us too much. At the same time, she always kept the home clean, tidy, hygienic, and organized. After two months of her attentive care, our baby remained very healthy, grew chubby and fair, and even doubled in weight. After Sister Xue left, we all missed her very much. We truly feel fortunate to have had Sister Xue’s care during my postpartum period. If we are lucky enough to have a second child in the future, we would very much hope to hire Sister Xue again!"
