During this period, getting along with Auntie Gu has been very pleasant, and we are also very grateful for the care she gave to our baby and my wife.
Before choosing a postpartum nanny, what we cared about most was whether the baby care was professional, whether she could solve problems independently, and whether she could truly allow the mother to rest. From our time together, Auntie Gu did very well in all of these areas.
When the baby was just born, there were common newborn issues such as jaundice and gas. She was able to observe them promptly and take appropriate care measures. Especially when the baby’s gas was quite severe, she would often stay with the baby on her own initiative, help do gas-relief exercises, and adjust positions to ease the discomfort. She would also proactively talk and sing to the baby in daily life. You could feel that she genuinely likes children, rather than simply completing a job.
She was equally attentive with postpartum care for the mother. In addition to the daily confinement meals, she would adjust the diet according to the recovery situation and help stimulate milk production and relieve blocked milk ducts. More importantly, she truly helped us achieve the goal of “someone caring for the baby so mom can rest,” which was extremely valuable for our whole family.
Another thing that impressed me deeply was her initiative and sense of responsibility. Many things did not need to be specially arranged; she would think of them in advance and take care of them. Whether it was organizing baby supplies, keeping feeding records, or handling details of daily care, she made the family feel very reassured.
Her cooking was also an extra surprise. The confinement meals and snacks every day were very abundant, and she often changed things up, which made the postpartum confinement period much easier.
Overall, Auntie Gu is a postpartum nanny with solid professional skills, a strong sense of responsibility, smooth communication, and the ability to give a family peace of mind. If any friends need a postpartum nanny in the future, I would be very willing to recommend her.
