Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"When we were preparing to welcome our baby, we decided to hire a 24-hour live-in postpartum nanny. Looking back now, meeting Eva was absolutely one of the wisest decisions we made! Eva is efficient and extremely attentive to hygiene, always keeping everything organized and in perfect order. We had originally worried that having a stranger in the house would feel awkward, but she was not only easy to communicate with—she also proactively observed and adapted to our family’s routine. Being around her felt as relaxed and comfortable as being with family. When it came to caring for our baby, her professionalism and attention to detail were truly impeccable. She was full of love for the baby and treated the baby as if they were her own. Whenever the baby stirred at night, she would immediately soothe them gently. From changing and washing to bathing and infant massage, every movement was smooth and practiced. Having her constantly keep an eye on all aspects of the baby’s condition gave us an incredible sense of security. For first-time parents, the anxiety in the beginning is really unavoidable. At first, we had no idea about feeding frequency or how much milk the baby should drink, but Eva patiently answered all our questions. She also deeply respected and cooperated with the parenting approach we wanted to use. When I felt emotionally low or stressed after giving birth, she would talk with me like a friend, share her experience, and provide me with a great deal of emotional support. We were also extremely satisfied with her postpartum meals! Eva is a very skilled cook. Her food was healthy, light, and not greasy. In particular, the soups, postpartum teas, and nourishing sweet soups she made were all delicious. She also customized and adjusted them according to my recovery progress after childbirth, and took excellent care of my body. She also gave us one-on-one guidance on how to bathe and massage the baby, as well as the correct ways to hold the baby, so that we could transition smoothly after she finished her service. After Eva left, my husband and I really missed the days when she was our “lifesaver”! We sincerely recommend Eva to everyone, but her schedule is extremely sought-after. Expectant mothers who need her should make a reservation early to secure a spot!"

"We absolutely have to give our maternity nanny, Auntie Wang, the praise she deserves. From the first day she walked through our door, my husband and I finally got to live like people who could actually sleep. First, caring for the baby—this is what impressed me most. In the first few days after our baby came home, day and night were completely reversed. The baby cried heart-wrenchingly at night, and we were two first-time parents who had no idea what to do. After Auntie Wang took over, she first learned the baby’s routine. During the day, she spent more time playing with the baby and doing infant massage; at night, after feeding, she followed a full routine of burping, swaddling, and white noise. In less than a week, the baby was able to sleep four or five hours at a stretch. She is especially steady when holding the baby, and she handled bathing, umbilical-cord care, and diaper-rash prevention neatly and efficiently. The baby never developed neck chafing or diaper rash. What made me feel even more reassured was her attentiveness—one day, she noticed that the baby’s jaundice was worse than the day before and urged us to go to the hospital for testing right away. It really was high, so the baby received phototherapy early. The doctor said that if we had waited another two days, it would have been troublesome. Then there were the postpartum meals—she was practically the culprit behind my gaining weight. Auntie Wang’s cooking is truly outstanding. Her braised pork with potatoes had tender, flavorful meat and potatoes soaked through with broth that melted in the mouth. Her steamed fish was cooked just right: fresh and tender rather than dry, with cilantro on top for fragrance. Even I, someone who normally does not like fish, could eat half a fish. With a plate of cucumber-and-peanut salad to refresh the palate, every meal left me feeling comforted and satisfied. Breakfast was equally thoughtful: freshly cooked oatmeal with avocado, fried eggs sprinkled with black pepper, a bowl of kiwi and cherry tomatoes, plus several walnuts, all arranged nicely and appetizingly. She did not simply make heavy tonic foods; instead, she planned meals according to my milk supply and recovery progress, using less oil while still making sure I had plenty of soups. By the end of my confinement period, I had plenty of milk and my weight was still under control. Her sense of boundaries was the rarest thing. She never overstepped. While getting everything done well, she also taught us hands-on how to hold the baby, burp the baby, and tell whether the baby was hungry or sleepy. When I was feeling down, she would voluntarily take on more work so I could get some sleep, and she would reassure me, “The emotions you have during confinement are not your fault.” The 26 days passed quickly, and the whole family was reluctant to see her go. Auntie Wang is not the kind of person who only does the work; she genuinely cared for our child as if the child were her own. If any friends around me are looking for a maternity nanny, she will be the first person I recommend—she cooks well, understands babies, and is a decent and kind person. Meeting an auntie like her is a blessing."

"Hiring Sister Bao as our maternity nanny was truly the decision that made my family and me feel the most fortunate and reassured throughout the entire postpartum period! Sister Bao is straightforward and efficient. After traveling a long distance and arriving at our home, she immediately began organizing the nursery. With her skillful touch, the room became neat and orderly, and everything was much easier to use. What impressed us even more was that, as soon as she started work, she noticed early signs of a mild diaper rash through her keen observation and extensive experience. She quickly corrected the improper cleaning methods we first-time parents had been using and recommended effective care products tailored to the issue. Within just a few days, our baby’s bottom had completely returned to being clean and healthy. In day-to-day infant care, Sister Bao is not only scientific in her approach; she is not content merely to know what to do, but is also eager to understand why. She always gladly shares the science and care experience behind what she does in an easy-to-understand way, discusses it with us, and has benefited us tremendously. Sometimes our baby was especially clingy and liked sleeping close to someone. Sister Bao would always stay with the baby attentively, patiently soothe the baby to sleep, and care for the baby with great affection. She is an excellent communicator, responds quickly to changing situations, and arranges each day’s routines and countless small tasks perfectly. Sister Bao’s cooking has been a real treat for our entire family! Her dishes can be comforting home-style food—for example, glossy, irresistible braised pork; fragrant, mouthwatering braised lamb; and exceptionally delicious steamed and braised fish—as well as nourishing specialty meals, such as silky bird’s nest soup, springy and tender sea cucumber, and flavorful, nourishing fish maw chicken soup. Her after-meal desserts and postpartum teas are varied and delicious as well: for example, roasted sweet potatoes that amazed our taste buds, sweet and tasty five-red tea, and aged tangerine peel red bean dessert that was even better than my own. Sister Bao is not only highly skilled and efficient, but also easygoing, cheerful, and always smiling. Being around her feels as warm and natural as being with family. We trust Sister Bao and have already planned to hire her again!"
