Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie Chen is about to finish her assignment with us, and we truly feel very reluctant to see her go. Looking back on the time we have spent together, we are filled with gratitude. When it comes to caring for the baby, Auntie’s attentiveness has made us feel especially reassured. Whenever the baby cries, she immediately puts down what she is doing, washes her hands, and goes over to check on the baby. Feeding, burping, changing diapers, and soothing the baby—she handles every step skillfully and meticulously, always with great patience. Every day, Auntie talks to the baby constantly, shows the baby black-and-white cards, and does early learning activities. When the baby entered the gassy stage, Auntie professionally did passive exercises and gas-relief exercises to help ease the baby’s discomfort. During the time Auntie cared for the baby, the baby gained weight very well, which we could see for ourselves and found very reassuring. Auntie’s cooking is also beyond reproach. She can make Southern Chinese dishes, Northern Chinese dishes, soups, and desserts—she does it all well. She tells us in advance what we will be eating over the next few days, so we do not have to rack our brains thinking about it ourselves. Of course, if there is something we want to eat, we can tell Auntie too; it feels like there is no dish she cannot make. She also lets us know ahead of time which ingredients are running low, making it convenient for us to arrange time to buy them in advance. It is especially worry-free. Auntie is about to finish her assignment with us, and we truly do not want to see her go. Thank you, Auntie, for taking such good care of the baby and our family. We hope more moms and babies will have the chance to meet such a wonderful auntie!"

"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."
