Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"We hired Auntie Jiang this September. As a first-time mom, there were many aspects of baby care that I honestly did not understand at first. After spending this time together, my biggest impression is that she is very attentive, reliable, and genuinely experienced. She took very careful care of our baby. She was patient with feeding, burping, bathing, diaper changes, and soothing the baby to sleep. She also did a great job caring for the baby’s skin and diaper area. During this period, our baby basically did not develop any rashes or diaper rash. From birth until the umbilical cord fell off, and during recovery after circumcision, she carefully cleaned, cared for, and monitored the area every day. These things may seem minor, but they really require attentiveness and experience. Especially for first-time parents like us, having her here gave us so much peace of mind. She also took very detailed care of me. In addition to postpartum meals, she made postpartum herbal water for me and boiled water for foot soaks. Many things did not need to be specifically requested—she would notice them and take the initiative to do them. She is truly hardworking, and she is especially clean and hygienic when caring for the baby. I really have to give separate praise to her cooking! I personally love desserts and baking, and I never expected to be able to enjoy my postpartum confinement period this much. Not only is she good at stir-fries and dough-based foods, she is also excellent at baking. She can make pork floss cake rolls, toast, snow skin mochi, and all kinds of cakes. Sometimes I would wake up in the morning to a freshly baked pork floss cake roll. For someone like me who loves desserts, it was truly such a joy, haha. She also makes buns and steamed buns herself and regularly changes things up, so the postpartum meals never felt monotonous. My birthday happened to fall during my confinement period, and she thoughtfully made me a birthday cake and an exquisite meal. Another thing that matters a lot to me is that she has a wonderful personality—she is honest, kind, and easy to get along with. After all, a postpartum nanny lives in your home 24 hours a day. Professional skill is one thing, but whether you can communicate well and feel comfortable living together is also very important. She is easy to discuss things with, willing to listen to our thoughts, and never makes communication feel stressful. She is also very good at caring for a postpartum mother’s emotions and provides a great deal of emotional support. We got along in a relaxed and happy way throughout this time. In short, she is not the kind of nanny who is only responsible for “keeping an eye on” the baby. She truly takes the baby’s care, the mother’s postpartum care, and household matters to heart. Her professional care is meticulous, she is hardworking, her food is delicious, and she has an easygoing personality. We were genuinely very satisfied with her and felt completely at ease leaving our baby in her care. Auntie Jiang has now completed her placement, and I sincerely wish her all the best in the future. That is why I am leaving this genuine recommendation here. I hope more mothers who need help will see it, because she deserves it!"

"Auntie Wu was especially responsible with our baby. She cared for the baby meticulously and cautiously, always putting the baby’s safety first. She was very experienced and organized in everything she did. When the baby started having gas at three weeks old, she would rather rest less herself than put the baby back in bed before keeping the baby upright for a long time after every feeding. She also never let the baby drink too much at one time during feedings. Every day, she gave the baby massages and did gas-relief exercises. She also took excellent care of the mother. Every day, she made different postpartum drinks, and the food was light and nutritious. At night, she would not ask the mother to get up to feed the baby. The mother recovered well too. After two weeks, she had already started going out and resuming her social life. When friends saw how well the mother was doing, they started asking about Auntie’s availability. Unfortunately, Auntie is in high demand and is already booked eight months out. Beyond all this, Auntie Wu’s most valuable quality is her high emotional intelligence—she does more than she says. Every time the baby went for a pediatric checkup or went out, she helped prepare all the little things we needed to bring. She also paid close attention to the baby’s gross-motor development. You can tell that she is someone who genuinely loves children."

"Time has flown by—my postpartum confinement period is over in the blink of an eye. Looking back on this past month, the thing I feel luckiest about is hiring such an excellent maternity nanny as Auntie Qian. I had to write a long review today to praise her properly and give other sisters looking for a maternity nanny something to refer to. First, I absolutely have to rave about Auntie Qian’s cooking! During postpartum confinement, drinking soup and eating nourishing foods every day can easily become tiresome, but Auntie Qian’s cooking truly won over this foodie. Her dishes were not only attractively plated and refreshing-looking, but, more importantly, they had excellent color, aroma, and flavor. She changed things up every day, with no repetition at all. Some of her signature dishes included sliced pork stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms and green peppers, which was fragrant and perfect with rice; braised pomfret and whole braised crucian carp, with rich, mellow reduced sauce and tender, flavorful fish; braised pork ribs with potatoes, with fall-off-the-bone ribs and soft, creamy potatoes; and stir-fried chicken pieces with red and green peppers, which looked incredibly appetizing. Every dish was richly seasoned and saucy without sacrificing nutrition. She met both my postpartum recovery needs and my appetite. Thanks to her attentive meal planning, I had plenty of breast milk, recovered especially well, and even kept my weight under great control. That was absolutely inseparable from her care. Besides her delicious cooking, Auntie Qian was also impeccable in professional care. She was very experienced with babies, and our baby became fair, chubby, and well-routined under her care. Burping, baby massage, bathing, and diaper changes—every movement was skillful and gentle. During the few days when our baby had jaundice, she was even more anxious than I was. She observed the baby day and night and scientifically suggested more sun exposure, more feeding, and more bowel movements, helping the baby get through that small hurdle smoothly. At night, she was practically available whenever called, allowing me to sleep through the night with peace of mind, which was incredibly important for my postpartum recovery. Auntie Qian also has a wonderful personality—cheerful, warmhearted, and she got along with our whole family like one of us. She is very observant. When I occasionally had emotional ups and downs after giving birth, she always patiently comforted me, told me lots of interesting parenting stories, and eased my anxiety. She also took care of all the big and small matters in the house. Everything was cleaned spotless every day, and the kitchen stove was always clean and tidy. She worked efficiently and never dragged things out. Meeting Auntie Qian was a blessing for our whole family. She not only healed my postpartum confinement period with delicious food, but also protected both my baby and me with her professionalism and care. I sincerely recommend her to every expectant mother. Auntie Qian is absolutely a treasured maternity nanny worthy of trust. She fully deserves a five-star rating. I’m so grateful to have met her!"
