Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Hiring Auntie Du as my maternity nanny was one of the best decisions I made for my second baby. This postpartum recovery was much more comfortable and happy than with my first, and I was able to sleep through the night every day. Auntie Du is cheerful, optimistic, hardworking, and has exceptional stamina. Every day she chatted with the baby and provided emotional support (when we held our newborn, we did not even know what to say to her). Auntie Du would joke with her, sing to her, and tell her how cute and beautiful she was. We felt happy just listening from nearby. In terms of caring for the mother, Auntie Du provided lactation massage, uterine-fundus massage, and warm compresses to promote milk flow. For the first few days after I was discharged from the hospital, I had no milk at all, but after her lactation support, my milk came in quickly. Later, when I had headaches, she also gave me head massage treatments. Her technique was better than that at most Chinese massage shops. As for the routine, Auntie Du took care of the baby throughout the entire night. Early in the morning, she got up and made breakfast for our whole family. In the mornings, she was mostly doing housework, making dough-based foods, and preparing lunch, while caring for the baby in between. In the afternoon, she rested when the baby napped as well. So there was basically never a large block of time when we needed to take over caring for the baby, which made my postpartum recovery much easier. All I needed to do was pump and breastfeed. Auntie Du is especially skilled at making dough-based foods. She handled all three meals for our family of three and made all kinds of different dishes. In 26 days, by my incomplete count, I got to try baozi, dumplings, wraps, lǘdagǔn, ciba, sesame flatbread, meat pies, chive pockets, wontons, hand-rolled noodles, hand-pulled noodles, shaomai, fermented rice wine, and many other foods. She made all of them completely from scratch, and our refrigerator is now packed with the food she made. Auntie Du has finished her placement, and our whole family misses her very much, including my six-year-old older son. Moms looking for a maternity nanny can feel confident contacting Auntie Du—she will not disappoint you."

"I’m very grateful to the nanny for the attentive care she gave me and my baby during this time! She is very professional and experienced, conscientious and responsible, and especially patient and loving with the baby. Whether it was daily feeding, burping, soothing the baby to sleep, or the baby’s daily care, she handled everything very carefully and thoughtfully, which gave us great peace of mind. I especially want to thank her for the help and support she provided with breastfeeding! I encountered quite a few difficulties when I first started breastfeeding, especially with the baby’s latch. She was very patient and worked hard to help me adjust my breastfeeding position. She not only took excellent care of the baby, but also gave me a great deal of help and care during my postpartum recovery. She is hardworking and attentive, able to proactively notice issues and help promptly. Over this period of time together, we truly felt her dedication and sense of responsibility, and we are very thankful for the love she showed our baby. We were very lucky to meet such a wonderful postpartum nanny. I have also recommended her to my friends, and I sincerely recommend her to families in need! ❤️"

"This was my second pregnancy. I did not hire a postpartum nanny with my first baby. This time, because we were welcoming twins, I worried that my husband and I would not be able to manage everything, so we decided to hire a postpartum nanny. I feel very fortunate that we met such a wonderful postpartum nanny as Auntie Zhang. Our twins were born a month early, and both had jaundice and problems gaining weight at birth. On the first night after we came home from the hospital, my husband and I were overwhelmed and barely slept at all. Auntie Zhang arrived the next day and immediately began caring for the babies. Thanks to her attentive care, we finally felt safe enough to rest peacefully. Both babies successfully regained their birth weight, and their jaundice improved quickly. Auntie Zhang was especially attentive: on her first day in our home, she could accurately tell our identical twins apart and knew each baby's situation very well. Auntie Zhang is very gentle. She not only gave the babies abundant love and care, but also gave me a great deal of comfort and support, easing my postpartum anxiety. During this time, she gave me a lot of help and guidance with breast massage to promote milk flow, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. Her cooking is also excellent and suits my taste very well! She considered our family's usual dietary habits and preferences and prepared postpartum meals, teas, and porridge that were suitable for me. I ate very comfortably every day. I am truly very grateful to Auntie Zhang for taking care of our whole family during this time. She is not only professional, attentive, and responsible, but also a very warm and caring person. We are lucky to have met her, and I sincerely recommend her to families who need her!"
