Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Time has gone by so fast—our baby is already one month old. I want to thank postpartum nanny Sister Zhang here for helping me and my husband get through the first stage of caring for our baby. For first-time moms and dads, even though we had done a lot of homework before the baby was born, when we actually faced it ourselves we were still overwhelmed. Sister Zhang was very patient, and she explained every care detail and method clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. We were very worried about the baby’s jaundice, and Sister Zhang told us how to let the baby get sunlight so the baby could safely get through the jaundice period. I was especially uncomfortable because of blocked milk ducts, and Sister Zhang’s technique was very professional. She helped massage and clear them, and she quickly relieved my pain. She took great care of the baby every day and taught me how to record the baby’s daily growth. She also told us about the physiological changes that happen at each stage, so we could face them calmly. Everything went so smoothly. During my postpartum confinement period, the dishes Sister Zhang made were especially delicious. Not only did I have plenty of milk, but I also didn’t gain weight (the thing I’m happiest about!). Getting up in the middle of the night to care for a baby is really hard, but Sister Zhang never complained. We were absolutely at ease leaving the baby with her. My husband and I said that if we have a second baby, we’ll ask Sister Zhang again. (Sister Zhang, it’s a promise!) I will also recommend her to my girlfriends. I hope Sister Zhang’s work goes smoothly and that she gets plenty of rest. Our whole family would welcome you back anytime."

"Auntie Zhao came to our home on the third day after our baby was born to care for our newborn. She has cared for many babies and is very experienced. At that time, she truly saved the two of us, first-time parents who had just been discharged from the hospital. She works carefully and in an organized way. The baby's feeding log was recorded very clearly, and all of the baby's supplies were arranged neatly and categorized very reasonably. She helped us establish a very good framework and routine for caring for the baby, which helped us settle into our new roles. She cared for the baby gently and attentively, observed the baby's condition very carefully, and communicated well. Every day she proactively told us about the baby's condition and changes, and before pediatrician visits she specifically reminded us what questions to ask. Her feeding approach was scientific: feeding on demand, training the baby to sleep for longer stretches, establishing a regular schedule, and not relying on feeding to sleep or holding to sleep. She was also very efficient at cooking and housework, and kept our home very tidy. On top of that, her cooking was delicious, with a rich variety of dishes, and she adjusted the meals based on the postpartum mother's physical condition. We are very satisfied with Auntie Zhao and highly recommend her!"

"We were so lucky to hire Auntie Yang! She is especially warm, cheerful, friendly, capable, and proactive. These past two months were truly made possible by her care! She is loving and patient with the baby, and attentive and thoughtful toward the mom. For the baby: our newborn had jaundice at birth, and we were both very anxious. Thanks to Auntie Yang’s diligent daily care with feeding and sleep, the jaundice went away quickly and the baby’s weight also recovered. Every day she carefully recorded the baby’s eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and sleep. She also did early education with the baby—play gym, bouncer, black-and-white cards, rattles—and the baby quickly learned to track with the eyes, do tummy time, and lift the head. For the mom: Auntie Yang prepared very rich three meals a day, and also made postpartum tea and prepared fruit. Every day, as soon as the baby fell asleep, she would seize every spare moment to have me do recovery treatments—helping with breast massage to relieve milk blockage, massage, pelvic recovery, traditional moxibustion mud, full-month sweat steaming... She treated me like family, always reminding me to drink hot water and wear socks, and especially emphasizing postpartum recovery. At first I wasn’t very good at feeding, and she carefully helped me adjust different direct breastfeeding positions (side-lying, nursing pillow...). Before finishing her stay, she also taught us burping, bathing, soothing to sleep, and daily care. And as a first-time mom with no experience, many maternal and baby supplies were things Auntie Yang told us to prepare in advance. If the baby had any issues, she patiently answered and communicated with us one by one. We sincerely thank Auntie Yang for taking care of us these past two months 🩵 If we have a second baby in the future, we will hire her again. Highly recommended 🩷"
