We were very lucky that Auntie Yi came to our home to help take care of our baby. My husband and I are first-time parents, and she was very professional from the start. Her arrival made things much easier for both of us. She is a very kind and warm-hearted person who truly likes children and babies. She is very responsible, and both my husband and I felt especially at ease leaving our baby with her. Our baby is very active, and whenever there was any movement, she would immediately go check. She is very cheerful and chats and interacts with the baby every day, and our home was always filled with her bright laughter. Her cooking also suited our taste very well, and friends who came over to our home also praised how delicious her food was. We sincerely thank her for helping us take care of our child for more than 40 days. We are truly grateful. 🙏

We are very grateful to Sister Huang for the attentive care she gave our second baby and our whole family during this period.
When I gave birth to our second child this time, I experienced severe bleeding, and my body remained quite weak, so there were many things I simply could not do myself. Throughout the entire month, Sister Huang almost single-handedly cared for the baby around the clock. She was especially patient with the baby and also very careful and responsible, taking such good care of the baby that the baby stayed healthy and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind.
In addition to caring for our second baby, Sister Huang often spent time with our older child as well, looking after the older child’s emotions and daily needs, so both children were very well cared for. At the same time, Sister Huang also prepared nutritious and tasty meals for our whole family, which was a tremendous help during my physical recovery.
Sister Huang has a gentle personality and very good character. She treats people sincerely, is very easy to communicate with, and is pleasant and easygoing to be around. In particular, she is very experienced in postpartum recovery, is skilled at preparing various nourishing soups and postpartum meals, and was a great help to my physical recovery.
Meeting Sister Huang was a blessing for our whole family. We are very thankful for everything she did for us over this month, and we sincerely recommend her to families in need.

We were very lucky to find Monica to help me through my two-month postpartum confinement, and I highly recommend her!
Even though I had a C-section, I felt that my body recovered quite well. People around me all said I looked energetic and in great condition, and it was all thanks to Monica. Twice, after I ate fish maw, I got clogged milk ducts. She immediately adjusted my diet to avoid overly nourishing ingredients, and at the same time helped massage my breasts to clear the ducts, often for more than half an hour, not stopping until I felt relief.
She helped our baby grow chubby and healthy. Although there were many challenges with feeding, she took them seriously and worked hard to try different ways to help relieve the baby’s discomfort. She also proactively asked for our preferences and the doctor’s advice, and would not insist on doing things her own way. Before she left, she had also roughly established the baby’s nighttime sleep schedule, so that before the baby was even two months old, the baby was already able to sleep through the night. We were all very surprised.
Monica is proactive, hardworking, and conscientious. We never had to ask her to do things around the house—if she noticed them, she would take care of them. What moved us the most was that when she saw we had no time to bathe the dog or brush the cat, even though that was not part of her responsibilities, she still took the initiative to do it in her spare time. After two months, even our dog had become very fond of her.
As a mother, I think her most precious quality is that she genuinely loves children. I never worried that she might hurt the baby, because from her words and actions I could see her sincere affection for the baby. In the end, when she finished her job and left, both my husband and I cried because we were so reluctant to say goodbye. I hope other families will also be lucky enough to receive Monica’s help and care!

Melody was recommended to me by a close family friend, who also utilized her services. We are grateful for Melody's care and attention to the specific needs of our twins, who were born prematurely and spent 2-3 weeks in the NICU. The twins came home weighing just above 4lbs and by the time Melody finished her time with us, the twins were almost 7lbs. She took great care in their feeding, especially since they were both very fussy. She also stayed up with them through the night as they figured out their sleep cycles. We were also very lucky that Melody was very patient and playful with our toddler, helping to ease her transition in becoming a big sister.
We appreciated all of Melody's help around the house. She quickly took care of chores and cleaning as well as keeping an eye on baby supplies. She cooked Cantonese style meals and soups for our family, but she was also welcoming of my husband's cooking when he wanted to prepare some meals for everyone.
Overall, Melody is a quick learner and very friendly, creating a relaxed environment for everyone despite the chaos of having 3 kids under 3 in the household.
Melody 是我们一位关系密切的家庭朋友推荐给我们的，这位朋友也曾聘请过她。我们非常感激 Melody 对我们双胞胎宝宝的悉心照料与关注；这对双胞胎是早产儿，出生后曾在新生儿重症监护室（NICU）住了两三周。刚回家时，他们的体重仅略高于 4 磅，而当 Melody 结束服务时，体重已接近 7 磅。她在喂养方面格外用心，尤其是考虑到两个宝宝都比较挑剔难哄。在宝宝们适应睡眠规律的阶段，她也彻夜陪伴在旁。此外，我们很幸运 Melody 对我们的大宝（幼儿）非常有耐心且充满童趣，帮助她顺利适应了“姐姐”这一新角色。
我们也非常感谢 Melody 在家务方面提供的各种帮助。她能迅速处理家务和清洁工作，并妥善管理婴儿用品。她为我们全家烹饪粤式菜肴和汤品，同时也乐于接受我丈夫亲自下厨为全家做饭。
总而言之，Melody 学习能力强且性格友善；尽管家里有三个三岁以下的孩子，场面难免有些忙乱，但她营造出的氛围却让大家都感到轻松自在。

Chen Hong was very strongly recommended to me by my good friend. My friend hired her for both her first and second babies, and every time we talked about her babies’ growth she spoke very highly of this maternity matron, so as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I booked her right away. My biggest feeling is that she was absolutely worth it. During the three months I spent with her, both my emotions and my body received the best care. Of course, helping with physical recovery is the most basic skill a maternity matron should have, but what moved me the most was the emotional healing. After giving birth, because my baby needed to stay in the neonatal ICU, combined with my hormone drop and physical discomfort, my emotions were extremely bad. She paid attention to my emotions at all times and patiently responded to and encouraged me. She cared for me and my child wholeheartedly like a mother. I hope she can be seen by everyone in this field, and I hope every mother can receive postpartum care like this.

We’re so grateful to have met Auntie Zhao Lian. In more than twenty days of attentive care, she looked after both me and my baby in every possible way. She was patient and gentle, and helped us through all the confusion of being first-time parents. From dietary recovery and postpartum healing to baby feeding, soothing to sleep, and daily care, Sister Zhao is skilled at everything. She is not only a professional maternity matron, but also as warm and caring as family. We feel very lucky to have met Sister Zhao. She is careful, responsible, and loving, and used her professionalism and companionship to help us through the hardest part of the postpartum confinement period. Words cannot fully express our gratitude. She works in a calm and meticulous way, never complains about hardship, and always thinks ahead about the small things we might overlook. With her here, the entire confinement month felt safe and reassuring. Sister Zhao’s postpartum meals were both nutritious and delicious, with well-balanced combinations, and her guidance for postpartum recovery was also very professional. She is skilled in baby care, burping, infant massage, and umbilical cord care, and her techniques are practiced and professional. The baby was especially well-behaved with her. She understands scientific parenting and has extensive experience. Whenever small issues came up, she handled them calmly, which gave us great peace of mind.

I feel especially lucky to have hired Auntie Jin! She has solid professional skills and took meticulous care of the baby every day—feeding, burping, infant massage, and adjusting the baby’s routine, all with great skill. At the same time, she was also very attentive to my postpartum recovery, reasonably planning my confinement meals so they were light yet nutritious. She is kind and hardworking, notices what needs to be done, and works efficiently and in an organized way. Being with her felt as warm as being with family. The whole confinement period was much easier because of her. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend her to all expecting moms!
I really have to praise maternity matron Auntie Jin! She was especially patient with the baby, got up at night to care for the baby without ever complaining, and could promptly notice small issues with the baby and take careful care of them. She was also especially thoughtful about my diet, wound care, and emotional support. She is quick and capable, kept the home very clean, and has an outgoing personality that makes communication easy. After more than twenty days together, we got along extremely well. She is a trustworthy and wonderful auntie, and I’m deeply grateful!
Auntie Jin is not only top-notch in maternal and infant care, but also makes excellent confinement meals. Every day the dishes had variety, balanced nutrition, suited my taste, and supported postpartum recovery. She is very experienced in caring for babies and has effective methods for soothing to sleep, daily care, and early learning interaction. She is simple and sincere, steady and reliable in her work, and made us feel especially at ease throughout the whole process. I feel very fortunate to have met such a good maternity matron and strongly recommend her!

Thank you to my amazing postpartum nanny, Sister Vivi.
“Professional, patient, meticulous, kind” — you deserve every beautiful word. 🌹🌹🌹
My postpartum nanny will finish her stay tomorrow, and just thinking about it makes me feel a little anxious. I’m truly so grateful for the care Vivi gave me during this period, which allowed me to get through the most stressful time after being discharged from the hospital with peace of mind and ease, and also helped me smoothly adapt to my new role as a first-time mom. 💖
I still remember the day I came home from the hospital. The very first time I saw Vivi, she immediately made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I was hospitalized unexpectedly due to preterm labor, and the room at home, the crib, and the baby supplies had not been set up in advance. But after Vivi started working with us, she helped us organize everything in just a few hours, which made me feel extremely reassured and touched. As we spent more time together, Vivi’s personality made our whole family feel very comfortable. Her childcare knowledge is extremely strong 👍 and took us from being completely clueless at the beginning to fully trusting her later on. Whether it was breastfeeding, preparing formula, burping, bathing, or soothing the baby to sleep, she did everything with great skill. The baby was especially calm in her arms. She carefully observed the baby’s condition and patiently stayed with the baby. She was truly very attentive in every single step.
Vivi not only took great care of the baby, but her care and concern for me also deeply moved me. She carefully prepared every meal. Although postpartum meals are light, they were still delicious, and every day I could drink the postpartum recovery water she cooked according to each stage of recovery. She understood how difficult the postpartum period was for me, patiently comforted me about my worries over low milk supply, helped massage and relieve blockages, and cooked all kinds of soups to promote milk production 🥣, which helped me achieve exclusive breastfeeding.
What was most precious of all was that I could truly feel her sincere love for the baby. Vivi genuinely loves children. She taught me and my family how to properly care for the baby, patiently teaching us how to hold the baby, how to pace bottle-feeding to prevent choking, how to change diapers, how to burp the baby, and even taught me in advance how to ease the fussiness that can happen in the second month. She also told me that if I have any questions in the future, I can always ask her. Sometimes I even felt that she was more worried than I was about whether the family would be able to take proper care of the baby. That sense of responsibility and love made me deeply admire her.
Thank you for accompanying us like family for these 42 days. I sincerely wish Sister Vivi good health, that everything goes smoothly for her, and that she can be happy and joyful every day! 💗💗💗

I was fortunate to get to know Auntie Sun, and I’m grateful for all she has done for us during this period of time. She is patient, professional, and meticulous in her work. She got up to speed very quickly in a short time, and she took care of the baby in a very regular and healthy way. The baby also really liked being with Auntie Sun. Even though this is my second child and I have more experience, I still learned a lot from her. In June, our air conditioner had problems, and Auntie Sun promptly paid attention to the baby and worked with us to figure out ways to cool things down and solve the problem. My family all really liked her cooking, and she adjusted the flavors and texture according to our family’s preferences. Pork ribs, rice cakes, and wheat-based dishes made me taste the flavor of home cooking in this food desert. Five-star recommendation! I wish Auntie Sun a happy mood and good health! If any mom is able to book Auntie Sun, you’re very lucky and can feel at ease.

Wendy is an extremely loving person who took perfect care of both me and my baby during one of the most difficult times in my life. She is highly professional, attentive, patient, and responsible in every aspect of her work. She provided exceptional postpartum care for me while also taking wonderful care of our newborn baby with great gentleness and experience.
As first-time parents, we learned so much from her. She carefully guided us through newborn care, feeding, soothing, bathing, sleep routines, and many small details that gave us confidence as new parents. Her calm personality, strong sense of responsibility, and genuine care made us feel supported and reassured every day.
We are truly grateful for everything Wendy has done for our family and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced postpartum nanny.

Auntie Li gave our whole family tremendous help during my postpartum confinement period, and we sincerely thank her for all her hard work during this time.
Auntie Li is hardworking, efficient, organized, and highly productive. She is warm and sincere with people and especially loving toward the baby. From umbilical cord care and frequent diaper-area cleaning to prevent diaper rash, to changing and washing clothes, bathing, and daily observation and care, she handled every detail seriously and responsibly. She also often organized and cleaned the baby’s supplies, keeping the environment neat and clean. Under her attentive care, the baby did not develop jaundice during the confinement period and stayed healthy, chubby, and growing well.
The baby often cried and fussed, and Auntie Li responded very quickly, patiently soothing and putting the baby to sleep without ever seeming bothered. She also often talked to the baby and sang nursery rhymes, which made it clear that she truly likes children.
Auntie Li also prepared light, nutritious Cantonese dishes suitable for the postpartum confinement period, as well as various soups, sweet soups, buns, and more. In addition, she proactively helped boil herbal foot-soak packs for the mother, prepared water for washing hair and postpartum confinement water, and showed care and thoughtfulness in every way.
This postpartum confinement period was much easier because of Auntie Li’s help. Thank you to Auntie Li for all your hard work and for helping us get through this important and special stage of life smoothly. We sincerely wish Auntie Li all the best!

Ms Yu was a wonderful postpartum caregiver, and we appreciate everything she did for our family.
She cared for our baby with love, patience, and attention. She was always positive, energetic, and quick to respond whenever the baby needed anything. She also provided great support for me during my postpartum recovery. She helped with lactation massage when my milk supply was low, and with her guidance and encouragement, my milk production gradually increased. She constantly checked on my well-being and cared for me as if I were family.
Before leaving, she thoughtfully prepared several days of nourishing soup, made buns, and carefully reviewed all the important details about the baby’s care to ensure a smooth transition for our family.
One of the most special things about Ms Yu was her wonderful voice and beautiful singing. She often sang to our baby, who enjoyed listening to her very much.

I want to give Auntie Ye a huge positive review!
You could already tell during the interview that Auntie Ye was very professional. Before starting, she kept communicating with us proactively to understand our situation and needs. After she started working with us, she was basically our lifesaver.
With Auntie taking care of the baby, the baby’s feeding and schedule became very regular. What made us happiest was that the baby’s weight kept increasing steadily. Bathing, massage, and washing the baby’s bottom—she was especially skilled and professional at all of these, and she also trained us as first-time parents, so we learned a lot from her.
Auntie is also amazing at cooking! Every day the meals had a good balance of meat and vegetables and were nutritionally balanced, and most importantly, they were delicious. She also had all kinds of milk-boosting soups planned out clearly. If there was any dish we wanted to eat, we just had to tell her in advance, and it would be on the next meal. While the baby was gaining weight, we were gaining weight too.
It was also very comfortable chatting with Auntie in daily life. She didn’t talk much and didn’t gossip, but she really got along well with us, and being around her felt especially easy and comfortable.
Professional, capable, a great cook, patient and loving with the baby, very thoughtful in caring for the mother too, and with such a great personality. I feel especially lucky and grateful to have met Auntie Ye at the hardest time, when I needed help the most.
I hope Auntie Ye can keep shining in her next family—with her apple braised chicken!

Haiyan is a highly responsible nanny who never leaves the baby unattended. She remains attentive throughout the night and is always alert to the baby’s needs. In addition to providing excellent care for the baby, she also takes great care of the mother, preparing a variety of nutritious meals efficiently, even within limited time constraints. Her dedication, reliability, and caring nature make her an exceptional caregiver.

A deceitful person. She injured her leg and did not come to start work at my home as scheduled, yet she still kept my deposit. It was truly disgusting. Just a warning to other moms: avoid her.
She is an experienced yuesao, and her childcare ability is actually okay. She worked at my home for one month. When settling payment, we agreed that she would come work at my home again six months later, and I also took the initiative to let the deposit I had paid before continue to serve as the deposit for the next service. Then midway she told me she could not come because of a leg injury and introduced other nannies to me. I had no choice but to start interviewing new candidates at the last minute and rearrange my childcare plan.
Later, when I decided to have family come back to help, she said again that she might recover and be able to come to my home. Considering that my baby was in the early walking stage at the time and needed frequent chasing and supervision, I truly did not feel comfortable with her leg condition. In addition, my parents had already adjusted their schedule to come back and help, so we did not continue the cooperation.
I originally thought the deposit should be returned, but unexpectedly she directly blocked me. Throughout the whole process, she was unable to fulfill the agreement for personal reasons, yet in the end the employer had to bear the loss. Although the amount was not especially large, this way of handling things is really hard to accept. I’m posting this as a reminder for families looking for a nanny: be sure to clearly put contract and deposit matters in writing in advance.

As a first-time mom, this was my first time hiring a postpartum nanny, and I didn’t have a recommendation from someone I knew. I’m very glad we chose Auntie Lu at the time. She really likes children, is very patient with the baby, and happily “chats” with the baby. She is good at soothing a fussy baby. During the “second-month fussiness” period, the baby often didn’t sleep well, and Auntie would often hold the baby to sleep. Luckily, we hired a yuesao for 52 days, which helped us get through that difficult “second-month fussiness” stage.
Auntie Lu got along well with my family and made things feel relaxed and comfortable. She is easy to get along with, easygoing, and not picky. She and my mom are around the same age, and the two of them chatted like friends and went out to buy groceries together.
Auntie is good at making nourishing soups and Chinese herbal food therapy. The braised golden pomfret, taro pork rib soup, Hakka salted chicken, and apple millet porridge she made were all delicious. She cooks very efficiently. When she was cooking, my family and I would take care of the baby.
Auntie Lu would boil mugwort water for the postpartum mother to wash her hair and bathe for a period after giving birth, which felt very comfortable. Her approach to handling clogged milk ducts was also very scientific. During my first three weeks of breastfeeding, I kept getting hard lumps in the same spot on one side, and I was very worried it would develop into mastitis. Auntie Lu’s recommendation, as well as the latest research I found myself, both suggested cold compresses rather than hot compresses, and that massage is not necessary. The latest research shows that clogged ducts are a sign of inflammation in the body. To reduce inflammation, you need cold compresses and more sleep; you can consider taking ibuprofen, and you should not overstimulate the breasts (no need to pump extra to fully empty the breast). You can nurse directly more often and take lecithin as well. Auntie Lu has a gentle lactation massage technique that can help remove hard lumps. My personal feeling is that lactation massage is not essential for reducing inflammation and can be done occasionally depending on the situation.
A little bit of experience to share with other first-time moms: if you plan to breastfeed by bottle-feeding pumped milk or do mixed feeding, I recommend becoming familiar with how to use your breast pump before giving birth and choosing a hands-free bra in advance. I went into labor early, and only started researching all the pump-related items and tools after giving birth, which made the already exhausting postpartum period even more tiring and frustrating. While you are in the hospital after giving birth, I recommend learning more newborn care skills and breastfeeding skills from the nurses and lactation consultants. If you have specific preferences about feeding methods (for example, trying not to waste breast milk while being more flexible with formula), I suggest communicating clearly with the nanny in advance.

Thank you, older sister, for taking such thoughtful care of our whole family during this period. From the time the baby was born until now, you not only helped us care for the baby with your professionalism and experience, but also accompanied our family through this important and busy stage of life with patience and love.
A few days ago I came across a Xiaohongshu post that put it so well: it turns out a maternity matron is a baby’s first goodbye in life. My baby still doesn’t know how to say goodbye to the first friend in life, an auntie who is both unfamiliar and familiar, familiar yet unfamiliar. Meeting is a kind of fate. These twenty-some days were both short and long. At first I hadn’t planned to hire a maternity matron because I had seen so many posts about yuesaos mistreating babies. But on the first day you arrived, I felt like I had seen a savior, and from the very first glance I knew I wanted to sign with you. Everything happened so naturally, so naturally that I tell everyone around me: if this is your first baby, if you don’t know how to raise a child, the experience from books and online is not as good as hiring a maternity matron. Why? Because in that first month, she is the medicine that keeps you going and the strategist in the middle of the chaos.
I like your professionalism, I like the meat patties you made and every meal, I like your sense of boundaries, and I like how you had my back when the baby was crying wildly. May we meet again in the future; we’ll see you again when we have our second baby.

I highly recommend Yan Wen as a postpartum doula. Her expertise in both infant care and postpartum recovery made an incredible difference during the early weeks with my baby after recovering from c-section.
She is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and gentle when caring for newborns. I always felt confident knowing my baby was in her hands because she was extremely careful, attentive, and nurturing. She also took the time to teach me essential newborn care skills, including how to give a sponge bath, properly burp the baby, practice tummy time, and perform exercises to help relieve gas and discomfort.
She is also a wonderful cook and prepared nourishing meals that supported my recovery and breastfeeding. Initially I had to supplement breastfeeding with formula and was able to build my milk supply to fully breastfeed in about a week. Her combination of knowledge, hands-on support, and genuine care made the postpartum period much smoother and less overwhelming for me and my husband.
I am deeply grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dependable postpartum doula.

Time has gone by so fast—our baby is already one month old. I want to thank postpartum nanny Sister Zhang here for helping me and my husband get through the first stage of caring for our baby. For first-time moms and dads, even though we had done a lot of homework before the baby was born, when we actually faced it ourselves we were still overwhelmed. Sister Zhang was very patient, and she explained every care detail and method clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. We were very worried about the baby’s jaundice, and Sister Zhang told us how to let the baby get sunlight so the baby could safely get through the jaundice period.
I was especially uncomfortable because of blocked milk ducts, and Sister Zhang’s technique was very professional. She helped massage and clear them, and she quickly relieved my pain.
She took great care of the baby every day and taught me how to record the baby’s daily growth. She also told us about the physiological changes that happen at each stage, so we could face them calmly. Everything went so smoothly.
During my postpartum confinement period, the dishes Sister Zhang made were especially delicious. Not only did I have plenty of milk, but I also didn’t gain weight (the thing I’m happiest about!).
Getting up in the middle of the night to care for a baby is really hard, but Sister Zhang never complained. We were absolutely at ease leaving the baby with her. My husband and I said that if we have a second baby, we’ll ask Sister Zhang again. (Sister Zhang, it’s a promise!)
I will also recommend her to my girlfriends. I hope Sister Zhang’s work goes smoothly and that she gets plenty of rest. Our whole family would welcome you back anytime.

Auntie Zhao came to our home on the third day after our baby was born to care for our newborn. She has cared for many babies and is very experienced. At that time, she truly saved the two of us, first-time parents who had just been discharged from the hospital.
She works carefully and in an organized way. The baby's feeding log was recorded very clearly, and all of the baby's supplies were arranged neatly and categorized very reasonably. She helped us establish a very good framework and routine for caring for the baby, which helped us settle into our new roles.
She cared for the baby gently and attentively, observed the baby's condition very carefully, and communicated well. Every day she proactively told us about the baby's condition and changes, and before pediatrician visits she specifically reminded us what questions to ask. Her feeding approach was scientific: feeding on demand, training the baby to sleep for longer stretches, establishing a regular schedule, and not relying on feeding to sleep or holding to sleep.
She was also very efficient at cooking and housework, and kept our home very tidy. On top of that, her cooking was delicious, with a rich variety of dishes, and she adjusted the meals based on the postpartum mother's physical condition.
We are very satisfied with Auntie Zhao and highly recommend her!

We were so lucky to hire Auntie Yang! She is especially warm, cheerful, friendly, capable, and proactive. These past two months were truly made possible by her care! She is loving and patient with the baby, and attentive and thoughtful toward the mom.
For the baby: our newborn had jaundice at birth, and we were both very anxious. Thanks to Auntie Yang’s diligent daily care with feeding and sleep, the jaundice went away quickly and the baby’s weight also recovered. Every day she carefully recorded the baby’s eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and sleep. She also did early education with the baby—play gym, bouncer, black-and-white cards, rattles—and the baby quickly learned to track with the eyes, do tummy time, and lift the head.
For the mom: Auntie Yang prepared very rich three meals a day, and also made postpartum tea and prepared fruit. Every day, as soon as the baby fell asleep, she would seize every spare moment to have me do recovery treatments—helping with breast massage to relieve milk blockage, massage, pelvic recovery, traditional moxibustion mud, full-month sweat steaming... She treated me like family, always reminding me to drink hot water and wear socks, and especially emphasizing postpartum recovery. At first I wasn’t very good at feeding, and she carefully helped me adjust different direct breastfeeding positions (side-lying, nursing pillow...). Before finishing her stay, she also taught us burping, bathing, soothing to sleep, and daily care. And as a first-time mom with no experience, many maternal and baby supplies were things Auntie Yang told us to prepare in advance. If the baby had any issues, she patiently answered and communicated with us one by one.
We sincerely thank Auntie Yang for taking care of us these past two months 🩵 If we have a second baby in the future, we will hire her again. Highly recommended 🩷

Hou Ayi was with us for 60 days and was a great help to me. From day one I could tell she was very experienced in childcare, but she also respected my preferences when we had differences of opinion, such as how to dress the baby and if/when to supplement with formula. She was a champ when the baby had trouble sleeping and was very helpful when I had to be away for two days in a row to attend a funeral. She is a solid cook and made lots of herbal soups, broths, and teas. My favorite dishes were all the vegetables dishes which were cooked and seasoned well. I definitely never went hungry or thirsty. Sometimes her dishes were a little salty for my taste but she was receptive to feedback and adjusted. And a lot of her desserts/snacks were not my favorite but I still ate them anyway. (She took the pics of the food but I can confirm she cooked all of these for me.) The other feedback I had for her was on thorough handwashing and dishwashing. We tend to be clean freaks so we were particularly sensitive to that. Also, make sure to get on the same page on gratuity expectations while IIsigning the agreement. But overall, I would recommend Hou Ayi.

我们能够认识Kimi阿姨，源于朋友的真诚推荐。在朋友家探望新生儿时，我们第一次见到了正在照顾宝宝的Kimi阿姨。当时就对她专业、细致且充满耐心的工作态度留下了深刻印象。后来在我们自己的宝宝即将出生时，朋友毫不犹豫地向我们推荐了她。事实证明，这个决定是我们为迎接宝宝所做的最正确选择之一。
从宝宝第一天回家开始，到两个月服务期结束，Kimi阿姨始终以极高的专业水平、责任心和耐心陪伴着我们一家人，帮助我们顺利度过了新生儿阶段。作为第一次当父母的新手家庭，我们原本对照顾新生儿充满紧张和不确定，但Kimi阿姨的到来让我们感到非常安心，也让整个家庭的生活变得井然有序。
在宝宝护理方面，Kimi阿姨展现出了极其丰富的新生儿照护经验。她对宝宝的日常生活安排非常有规划，从喂奶、拍嗝、换尿布、洗澡、抚触到哄睡，每一个环节都细致认真且专业规范。更重要的是，她不仅照顾宝宝，更注重帮助宝宝建立规律的生活习惯。在她的帮助下，我们逐步了解如何根据宝宝的状态安排吃奶和睡眠时间，帮助宝宝形成健康稳定的作息规律。
宝宝在Kimi阿姨照顾期间状态一直非常好，体重增长理想，精神状态稳定。对于新生儿常见的黄疸、胀气、吐奶等问题，Kimi阿姨都有丰富的经验和成熟的处理方法。尤其在胀气护理方面，她耐心地教会我们如何正确拍嗝、排气以及观察宝宝身体发出的各种信号。短短两个月时间里，我们从最初抱孩子都小心翼翼的新手父母，逐渐成长为能够独立照顾宝宝的爸爸妈妈，这其中离不开Kimi阿姨毫无保留的经验分享和指导。
夜间护理更是Kimi阿姨工作中让我印象最深刻的部分。两个月期间，夜晚基本都是由她负责照顾宝宝，包括夜间喂奶、观察宝宝状态、拍嗝安抚以及处理各种突发情况。正因为有她的帮助，我们才能获得宝贵的休息时间，特别是对于刚刚生产完、身体还在恢复中的妈妈来说，这种支持和帮助尤为珍贵。
除了宝宝护理之外，Kimi阿姨在产妇照顾方面也同样专业。月子期间，她每天都会精心准备五餐，包括三顿营养均衡的正餐和两顿健康点心。每一餐不仅兼顾营养和恢复需求，也充分考虑口味搭配，让月子生活变得轻松而愉快。与此同时，她还主动承担了大量家务工作，无论是厨房清洁、宝宝用品整理、衣物清洗还是日常卫生维护，都做得认真细致，让家中始终保持整洁舒适。
更难得的是，Kimi阿姨不仅专业能力出色，人品也同样令人称赞。她性格温和开朗，为人真诚善良，做事认真负责，与家里的每一位成员都相处得十分融洽。她善于沟通，也非常尊重家庭成员的意见和习惯，从不会把自己的经验强加于人，而是耐心讲解原因，与我们一起探讨最适合宝宝的照顾方式。在整个服务期间，她始终保持积极乐观的工作态度，即使工作繁忙也从未抱怨，总是把宝宝和家庭的需求放在第一位。
如今两个月的服务已经结束，我们全家都对Kimi阿姨充满感激与不舍。她不仅是一位经验丰富、技术专业的优秀月嫂，更像是一位值得信赖的家人和朋友。在我们人生最重要、最需要帮助的阶段，她给予了我们无微不至的照顾、专业细致的指导以及莫大的支持和陪伴。
我们衷心感谢Kimi阿姨这段时间的辛勤付出，也毫无保留地向所有正在寻找月嫂的家庭推荐她。如果未来我们有二胎计划，我们一定会第一时间再次邀请Kimi阿姨来到我们家。相信任何一个有幸与她合作的家庭，都会像我们一样，对她的专业能力、责任心和人格品质给予最高的评价。

Auntie Jiang took care of me and my baby for a full 8 months, from my postpartum confinement period until my baby was nearly 8 months old. I’m truly grateful to her and she absolutely deserves a five-star review!
She has a cheerful personality and loves to smile. Seeing her every day put me in a good mood, and she always made my baby laugh too. The whole household felt relaxed and happy.
After my baby was born, the jaundice level was a bit high, and we were very anxious. She checked the jaundice level on schedule every day, took the baby out for sun exposure, carefully recorded feeding, and provided very professional and patient care. The jaundice quickly returned to the normal range.
During the confinement month, my baby developed eczema, with red patches all over the face and body. Every day she gently cleaned the skin with warm water, applied moisturizer several times, kept the skin dry, and also paid attention to adjusting the room temperature. With her attentive care, the eczema gradually went away.
When my baby was 4 months old, there was suddenly an allergy to formula. As soon as the baby drank it, there was diarrhea and poor sleep. She was very experienced and immediately recognized it as an allergy, and suggested switching to amino acid formula. During that time, she carefully observed the baby’s stool color, consistency, and frequency every day, and kept especially thorough records. With her careful care, the allergy improved quickly.
She also placed great importance on early development. Over those 8 months, she consistently did passive exercises and infant massage, guided the baby in rolling over, sitting independently, and crawling, and used small toys to practice grasping, transferring objects from one hand to the other, patting, and other fine motor skills. My baby developed very well.
She is also a really good cook! Both the postpartum meals and everyday home cooking suited my taste. What moved me most was that she often talked with me and helped ease my emotions, which greatly reduced my anxiety as a first-time mother. She works efficiently and is never petty. I strongly recommend Auntie Jiang!

Auntie Cao was a lifesaver for our family, especially for a first-time mom. Her arrival felt like a lifeline. She is professional, sincere, and very good at communicating and solving problems.
I’m a first-time mom. My baby was born prematurely at 34 weeks, and I was completely unprepared. I originally did not plan to breastfeed, but because the baby was premature, I decided at the last minute to breastfeed. Since I had no experience, I didn’t realize how serious my clogged milk ducts were until Auntie arrived. As soon as she came, she helped massage and clear the blockage, arranged my pumping schedule, and paid attention to my diet to help regulate my milk supply. If I had to compare her professionalism to an academic degree, she would absolutely be at the PhD level. She could tell just by observing me briefly whether my breasts were engorged, and with one touch she knew exactly where the blockage was again. Her postpartum recovery techniques were also excellent, and with her help my belly went down quite a bit.
As for taking care of the baby, her professional skills were truly impeccable. She quickly built a close bond with the baby. My baby was premature and high-needs, and she often comforted us, helped us adjust our mindset, and eased our anxiety. She could always accurately identify what the baby needed and offer solutions. Even my mom and my mother-in-law were deeply impressed by her. Her professionalism helped reduce family conflicts caused by different opinions on childcare. In fact, that was my original reason for hiring a yuesao. I believe having a professional do professional work is the most efficient approach. We referred to her advice for almost every decision we made. Even when we had differing opinions, she sincerely offered suggestions, listened to our thoughts, and provided solutions.
Regarding care for the mom, I especially want to talk about her sincerity and high emotional intelligence. After giving birth, I was heavily affected by hormones, and she was very perceptive about my emotional changes and comforted me. Every time I talked with her, I felt that she was very sincere and considered problems from the mother’s perspective. That gave me a lot of comfort. She could accurately sense what I needed, and she also had a strong sense of boundaries, which made being around her feel very comfortable and warm.
As for the postpartum meals, I’m someone who loves spicy food and usually have no interest in bland dishes. But the food she made was delicious, light, and nutritious. My favorites were the fish and shrimp she cooked! She could also make pizza, European-style bread, and all kinds of flour-based dishes. She could make just about anything. And she cooked very quickly and efficiently, never dragging things out. That was a huge plus!
If I had to mention one downside, it would be that she is too popular, so she left our home before even staying two full months (so sad). I told her that if I have a second child, I need to book her starting from when I’m trying to conceive, otherwise she’ll be too in demand and I’m afraid she won’t have availability for me! If you need a maternity nanny who is both professional and easy to communicate with, you definitely can’t go wrong with Auntie Cao. But if you’re slow to book, there may be no availability!
To sum it up, thanks to her arrival, my baby and I got through our adjustment period very smoothly. Because she was there, I could feel at ease and had more time to focus on my own emotions and physical recovery instead of feeling overwhelmed by the baby. I want to tell her that meeting you was our family’s good fortune!

Today is the third day since Auntie Min left! I absolutely have to give my amazing nanny a huge thumbs-up 👍 Our baby was born three weeks early, and during that time our whole family was extremely anxious and overwhelmed. I’m truly so grateful to Auntie Min. When we needed help the most, she immediately adjusted her schedule and arrived at our home within two days. As soon as she came, she took over caring for the baby right away, and I was finally able to catch my breath a little and rest with peace of mind. Auntie Min is really very experienced. She can often anticipate things in advance and prepare ahead of time. She took care of the baby very carefully and was also extremely patient. In two months, the baby’s weight directly doubled, and now the baby is chubby and adorable. Every time we see the baby’s changes, we feel especially comforted and also very lucky. Besides taking care of the baby, she also helped stimulate milk production and relieved the pain from my breast engorgement, and every day she made nutritious and delicious meals in different ways. She also knows a lot of baking. Most importantly, with her companionship and care, my body recovered especially quickly, and my mood stayed very good the whole time. I almost did not experience postpartum depression at all during the entire process. To us, Auntie Min was not just a maternity nanny, but more like the support and strength a family gives during the hardest stage. We really feel so fortunate to have met Auntie Min, and we sincerely hope everything goes well for her in the future. If there is another chance in the future, we would definitely want to work with her again. I also recommend a reliable nanny to sisters who are about to become mothers. You won’t go wrong choosing Auntie Min 😀

I’m a mom of two, and my overall experience is: hiring Sister Zhang was definitely not a mistake.
You can tell that Sister Zhang truly likes babies and genuinely loves her work. She is very patient with babies and also very experienced. Our first child had jaundice at the time (we took care of that baby ourselves), so I was especially worried with my second. But after my second baby was born, there was only a little jaundice, and Sister Zhang immediately helped us take measures. The baby’s jaundice went away very quickly.
During this more than a month, the baby had no eczema, no diaper rash, and was in very good overall condition the whole time. Sister Zhang was also very good at helping the baby establish a routine. Starting in the third week, the baby was already able to sleep 5–6 hours straight at night, which really made things much easier for us.
Sister Zhang also gave me lactation massages several times, and they were truly very helpful. With my first child, I also breastfed directly, but it was very painful at the time, and I felt very lost in the beginning. Even though this was my second child and I was already more experienced, the early stage of direct breastfeeding was still very hard. Sister Zhang’s lactation massages really helped reduce a lot of my pain, and my milk supply increased after each session.
As for meals, every day Sister Zhang would also cook postpartum recovery water and prepare postpartum meals for me based on how my body was recovering. She took care of me very attentively. And Sister Zhang is really a very good cook. My husband and my older child both really liked the food she made, and they were especially happy eating it every day. (See pictures.)
I didn’t hire a postpartum nanny for my first child, and now that I’ve had Sister Zhang, I really regret not hiring one the first time. With my first child, I was truly exhausted beyond words. This time, even though I was also breastfeeding every day, I was still able to get decent rest overall, and I didn’t feel like I was falling apart the way I did with my first.
Actually, being a postpartum nanny is really not an easy job. She has to take care of the baby, take care of the mother, and cook—there are many things to do. If the baby doesn’t sleep well at night, the nanny herself also doesn’t get good rest. So we also tried our best to let Sister Zhang catch up on sleep during the day, because after all, no one is made of iron.
I’m very grateful for how Sister Zhang took care of our whole family during this time, and I sincerely recommend her to families who need to find a postpartum nanny.

Highly recommend Auntie Liang!! It’s such a pity that we only hired her for one month—we should have hired her for two or three months to help us get through the fussy February period 🥹 Her schedule is already booked through next April, so if you want to book her, make sure to contact her early!
In the beginning, Auntie helped me with breast massage to open the milk ducts, and it was especially effective. It successfully relieved my rock-hard engorgement, and I didn’t get clogged ducts or mastitis. My milk came in very smoothly. Early on, the baby’s latch was incorrect and it often hurt a lot, and Auntie was also very patient in helping me adjust the position over and over again until the baby could breastfeed smoothly.
Every day Auntie made all kinds of black chicken soup and crucian carp soup to help me stay hydrated and increase milk supply. Every afternoon there was a little dessert: salted egg yolk pastries, sago jelly cakes, glutinous rice cakes, walnut bread, egg tarts, double-skin milk, pumpkin cakes, fish maw sago dessert—too many to count. Every night there was also bird’s nest stewed milk. Throughout the whole confinement month, she made sure I was getting very full nutritional support.
Neither my parents nor I had any experience taking care of a baby, so during the confinement month we learned from Auntie how to change diapers, feed, soothe the baby to sleep, and bathe the baby. We hope that after Auntie finishes her job, we’ll still be able to take care of the baby smoothly!

Auntie Liu came to our home when our baby was two months old and suffering from gas. We are grateful for her careful, meticulous, around-the-clock care, which gave our child the best physical relief and allowed the baby to continue growing up healthy and happy. It also gave us much greater peace of mind. In addition, Auntie carefully took care of everything for the baby. From the baby’s fair, clean, dry skin, to the happy smiles, and the little vest Auntie made for him, all of this made us as parents truly trust her professionalism. At the same time, Auntie has an easygoing personality and high emotional intelligence, so we could comfortably communicate our needs and preferences for raising our child. As slow-to-warm-up introverts, we also felt very at ease getting along with her. While caring for the baby, Auntie also helped us keep the home clean, allowing us to live comfortably and focus on our work. As first-time parents, we deeply feel that the road of parenting is not easy, and our baby and we were very lucky to meet gentle yet strong Auntie Liu. We are truly very grateful.

Highly recommend Sister Ping! She is very experienced and reliable, especially skilled in caring for premature newborns. She was very professional with feeding, burping, soothing the baby to sleep, and monitoring the baby’s condition. For first-time parents, having her there really gives a lot of peace of mind.
There was one time when the baby choked on milk in the middle of the night, and Sister Ping reacted immediately and handled it. In the end, everything was fine, and it truly made us realize how important an experienced maternity nanny is. We are especially grateful that she was willing to fly from California to New York! So thankful.....
She was not only attentive with the baby, but also cooked very good postpartum meals. She is very knowledgeable about postpartum recovery, Chinese herbal food therapy, and medicinal baths. She would also patiently teach us baby care skills like bathing, changing diapers, and burping.
Overall: reliable, experienced, and responsible. She took great care of both the baby and the mother, and we highly recommend her!
