Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"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!"

"I highly recommend Liu Jun Ah-Yi! Liu Jun Ah-Yi stayed with our family in April for 2 months with the birth of my second child. To be honest, before she arrived, I had reservations. I had a different yue sao for my first child and did not have a very positive experience. I am so grateful we had Liu Jun Ah-Yi the second time around - it showed me how much a good yue sao really can do. I will share what really stood out to me: 1. She is very adaptable and adjusts quickly based on feedback (e.g. if I had certain preferences of how to keep the house clean, foods we liked/did not like, feeding the baby). My son was quite difficult with the bottle and it took him an hour to even drink 50 mL, crying the whole way. Ah-Yi tried different tactics and was also open minded to how she and I could partner together through the night. 2. My husband and I don't typically like the idea of someone living in our house with us as we prize our privacy and ability to freely move around out home. Ah-Yi was very considerate in this regard - she was quiet in our common space and for the most part was in the bedroom with the baby. We really did not feel like our space was invaded in any way. 3. She is an excellent cook. Many of the other reviews already mention the delicious foods she made. She also made the extra effort to make foods that our older child liked. What I really appreciated was in the week before she left, she re-cooked some of my favorites and walked me through so that I could write down the recipes. 4. Even months after she has left our home, Liu Jun Ah-Yi still checks up on us and asks about the baby. We really feel she genuinely cares about us. I cannot say enough good things! Just know that she is very popular and books far in advance. I booked her when I was only about 5 weeks pregnant!"

"We feel so fortunate to have met Auntie Dong! She truly is an angel! Auntie Dong has such a wonderful personality—easygoing, patient, and very comfortable to be around. She was especially attentive to our baby and has extensive experience caring for newborns. She handled the baby’s daily feedings, sleep, baths, and routine care with great care, and kept time-based records. She always noticed even the smallest changes promptly. We were first-time parents and didn’t know how to do anything. Auntie Dong patiently taught us everything, from changing diapers, bathing, and burping the baby to observing the baby’s condition and soothing the baby to sleep. As she did each task, she explained what we should pay attention to. Besides caring for the baby, Auntie Dong also kept our home very well organized. Everything was cleaned and kept tidy every day, and the three daily meals were planned perfectly. She was extremely proactive; before we even had to ask, she had already thought of things and taken care of them. Having her with us for that month gave us so much peace of mind. Another thing is that Auntie Dong was very respectful of our habits and decisions and never made us feel pressured. After spending a month together, Auntie Dong felt like more than just a postpartum nanny who came to work in our home. She genuinely cared about our baby and our whole family. When the month ended, we really did not want to say goodbye. We highly recommend Auntie Dong to any family in need!"
