Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie He stayed with our family for more than 40 days. Since we both grew up in Hunan, being together felt very much like being with family. Auntie He truly loves babies. During the day when we were busy, she could always hear the baby at the first sound and rush over to soothe and care for the baby. When the baby cried and our whole family was flustered and at a loss, Auntie He could always accurately understand what the baby needed and take good care of the baby. We learned many practical baby care skills from Auntie He. She carefully taught us step by step how to soothe the baby’s emotions, how to prevent heat rash, eczema, and diaper rash, and how to tell whether the baby had not eaten enough or just needed to burp, and so on. For our daily meals and snacks, Auntie He always thoughtfully balanced nutrition and taste. There were home-style stir-fries, nourishing soups, handmade trendy desserts, noodles, sweet fermented rice, and special Hunan rice noodles, as well as all kinds of refreshing freshly squeezed juices. Our whole family fully enjoyed the food and was amazed by Auntie He’s cooking skills. Auntie He is warm, straightforward, capable, and very loving and patient with the baby. With her help, I had a very easy, pleasant, and happy postpartum confinement period. I am very grateful for Auntie He’s help and sincerely recommend dependable and kind Auntie He!"

"Aunt stayed with us for 3 months, and we were genuinely heartbroken when she left! Anyone lucky enough to hire her will quickly understand how special she is - she brings a level of warmth and expertise that’s hard to put into words. A few highlights: 1. Baby care - she has an almost intuitive sense of what baby needs and talked/ sang to him constantly. She took the time to teach us everything we needed to feel confident as new parents. She also helped us establish healthy sleep habits early on. 2. Mama care - as someone recovering from a C-section, I felt truly looked after. She encouraged me to rest, stay hydrated, brought yummy meals to me in bed, and helped me keep up with breastfeeding in those early days - always supportive, never pushy. 3. Meals - she is a seriously talented cook and baker who was always creating something delicious in our kitchen. She was also so gracious about cooking for our family who came to visit after baby arrived. Homemade dumplings, bao’s, noodles, soups, seafood, Basque cheesecake, mango mochi… the list goes on. If there’s a recipe out there, she can make it her own. 4. Personality - having someone live in your home can be an adjustment, but Aunt made it feel completely natural. She is easygoing, positive, perceptive, and genuinely open to feedback. She took care of our whole family like we were her own. Aunt is the best and we couldn’t recommend her enough! If have the chance to work with her, don’t hesitate. We already miss her dearly!"

"Auntie Wang is extremely hardworking, serious, and responsible in her work, and she is especially gentle and patient with the baby. Whether it was bathing, burping, soothing the baby to sleep, or daily care, she showed professionalism and attentiveness, which made us feel very reassured. She also constantly cared about the mother’s physical recovery and emotional state, often proactively reminding me to rest more and pay attention to changes in my body, giving me a lot of thoughtful care. She was also very dedicated when it came to the postpartum meals, changing the dishes every day and arranging them beautifully. Not only were they nutritionally balanced, but they also tasted very good. Whether it was the postpartum meals, teas, stewed soups, or desserts, you could feel how careful and thoughtful she was in everything. During this period, I am truly very grateful for Auntie Wang’s care and companionship, which allowed the mother to get plenty of rest during the postpartum period while the baby was also properly cared for."
