Making Caregiving
More Transparent

"Auntie Tong helped take care of both me and my baby throughout my postpartum confinement period. She is very attentive, patient, and responsible. My body was still recovering during confinement, and a newborn’s schedule is demanding, so Auntie Tong was very diligent with feeding, burping, diaper changes, bathing, and daily care for the baby. She also worked very hard helping care for the baby at night, allowing me more time to rest and recover. She was proactive in her daily work and always lent a hand wherever help was needed around the home. She was easygoing and comfortable to be around. In particular, she was very patient with the baby and genuinely loves children, which we could feel as parents. We are very grateful to Auntie Tong for the care and effort she gave our family during this time, and feel very fortunate to have had her help during my confinement period."

"Sister He was truly a lifesaver—the most professional, patient, and best cook of all the postpartum nannies we have used! Because of a premature birth and scheduling conflicts, we temporarily hired two substitute postpartum nannies during the first month. After Sister He arrived, our baby’s stubborn diaper rash completely cleared up through her persistent efforts. Sister He is genuinely wonderful with babies. She feeds scientifically according to the baby’s needs, and whenever the baby needs something, she never minds the hard work. At night, she was also very gentle and patient with our poor sleeper, doing her best to help the baby sleep well and grow. By two months, our baby had become nice and strong under Sister He’s care! Sister He also offered many sensible and useful suggestions, recommended lots of helpful baby products, and, more importantly, helped me adjust my feeding schedule, eased all kinds of my anxiety, patiently answered all our questions, and taught us hands-on how to care for a baby so we could prepare to do it ourselves. She also listened carefully to my thoughts. Not to mention that Sister He’s cooking is unbelievably delicious—she made different tasty dishes for us every day, and everyone in the family gained five pounds 😂. I sincerely recommend Sister He to all the moms out there. It felt like life got better after she arrived. If we have a second child, we will definitely hire Sister He again. Today is Sister He’s first day after finishing with our family, and also the first day we miss her 🥰"

"Sister Wen is a clean, efficient, capable, and dependable postpartum nanny. During the time we spent together, my strongest impression was that she was experienced, conscientious, and very patient with both the baby and the mother. When it comes to cooking, Sister Wen’s food is delicious, especially Cantonese cuisine and Guangdong-style flavors. But basically, as long as you tell her what you want to eat, she can make it quickly, and she adjusts it according to everyone’s tastes in the household. For example, my husband likes spicy food, so she often makes two versions of one dish: she first cooks a non-spicy portion for me, then adds chili and stir-fries it for my husband. Her everyday home cooking is already very tasty, and Sister Wen can also prepare banquet dishes and do food plating. During my postpartum confinement period, I invited quite a few friends over for meals. Every time, Sister Wen helped plan the menu, prepare the dishes, and handle the final plating. Her plating is really beautiful. If you hire Sister Wen, I highly recommend inviting friends over for a meal at home, or even holding a one-month celebration banquet~ She also cooks very quickly and efficiently, and does not spend so much time cooking that it delays caring for the baby. I think that is especially rare. In caring for the mother, Sister Wen prepared different postpartum drinks for me each day based on my condition, and tried to make the meals nutritious, light, and tasty. Every night she boiled mugwort water for me to soak my feet. When I needed it, she also used mugwort water to wash my hair and wipe my body. If I felt unwell anywhere during that period, such as having back pain, she would also massage my back. Overall, she took very thoughtful care of me. There were many things I did not need to specifically remind her about—she would think of them on her own. In caring for the baby, Sister Wen is very experienced and skilled at basic care such as feeding, burping, and changing diapers. Beyond that, she is also very attentive to the baby’s daily care. She regularly cleans the baby’s nose, files the baby’s nails, washes the baby’s face every day, gives the baby a bath every few days, applies oil, does gas-relief exercises and baby massage, and takes the baby out for walks. What I find especially rare is that Sister Wen has always been gentle and patient with the baby. She often smiles at the baby and talks to the baby, and the baby clearly likes her very much. Sometimes the baby would still cry when we held them, but would calm down very quickly after being handed to Sister Wen. Professionalism and experience are certainly important in postpartum nanny work, but patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection for babies are actually hard to fake. I think that from the way the baby was with her, you could also feel that she truly wanted to care for the baby. Overall, Sister Wen is a dependable and reassuring postpartum nanny. She works efficiently, is experienced, and is very willing to adjust her approach according to the family’s situation. For families going through postpartum confinement for the first time who also want to eat well at home and have their baby receive attentive care, I would be very happy to recommend Sister Wen."
