Huazhen Huang (黄华珍)

Auntie Huang is truly a conscientious and responsible maternity nanny. She took especially thoughtful care of both my baby and me. For my diet, she adjusted and prepared my postpartum drinks each day according to my condition. Every meal included a variety of vegetables and two or three meat dishes, with a balanced and nutritious mix of meat and vegetables. She also made many desserts, such as double-skin milk, steamed sponge cake, and water chestnut cake. She is skilled at cooking all kinds of chicken dishes, and her steamed fish is especially outstanding—the taste is no worse than a restaurant's. Every day, she also prepared mugwort water for me to soak my feet in, which was very thoughtful in the details. During the first week, I had painful breast engorgement, and Auntie Huang stayed up all night helping me relieve it and express milk, which was really hard work. When I had headaches, she would also massage acupressure points to help relieve them. My baby spit up quite severely, but Auntie Huang washed and changed things diligently, so the baby was always kept very clean. Every time she got the baby to sleep, she would immediately rush to the kitchen to prepare food. When my breasts became engorged in the middle of the night, she would quickly bring the baby to me so I could breastfeed, then go back to the kitchen to prep vegetables and make dough. Her time management was excellent; she hardly wasted any time at all. She also cooked very quickly and could prepare a whole table of dishes in half an hour. Thanks to Auntie Huang during this time, both my baby and I felt very well cared for. I highly recommend her!

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.

非常感谢在月子期间遇到珍姐。珍姐经验丰富，认真负责，帮助新手爸妈的我们平稳度过了本该手忙脚乱的第一个月。她每天在细心照顾宝宝的同时，也把妈妈照顾得无微不至，每天炖营养丰富的靓汤，按照我的口味和习惯变着花样准备餐食，还会帮我做按摩和基础护理，让我度过了一个轻松又舒适的月子。与此同时，我们也从她那里学到了很多实用的育儿知识，她总是耐心地教我们如何抱宝宝、拍嗝、洗澡和安抚情绪。珍姐性格温和，做事细致，让人非常安心。她下户之后我们也能顺利接手照顾宝宝。原本对月嫂是否靠谱有些忐忑，很幸运最终选择了珍姐，真心推荐给有需要的家庭。

我们全家都非常感谢黄姐这几个月的照顾。宝宝刚出生的前两个月比较高需求，经常夜里醒来、需要抱着安抚才能入睡，白天也很黏人。黄姐几乎是日夜不分地陪伴，夜里要起来好几次，抱着哄着从不抱怨，始终细心又有耐心。在这样辛苦的情况下，她还能够照顾我这个产妇，煲汤、做甜点、做菜都非常好吃。 她也教了我们很多照顾宝宝的知识，让我们从新手爸妈慢慢上手。宝宝在她的照顾下长得白白胖胖，从一开始体重偏轻到现在已经超过平均值，身体状况也很好，从没出现过湿疹之类的问题。宝宝对她也特别依赖，每次看到阿姨都很开心，总是想要跟她在一起。 黄姐性格开朗、说话实在，相处起来非常愉快。她不仅工作认真，也为家里带来了很多欢笑。整体来说，我们对她的工作非常满意，也非常感谢她在这段时间里对我们全家的付出与陪伴。

黄阿姨特别好，我们很幸运跟她有缘，有她帮忙坐月子，真是真心感谢她。我一下用英文写的评语： We feel so incredibly lucky to have had 黄阿姨 with us during my postpartum recovery. From the very beginning, she was warm, caring, and attentive — not only to our newborn but also to me as a new mom. She showed so much love, patience, and skill in caring for our baby, and her gentle, nurturing way made us feel completely at ease. 黄阿姨 is an amazing cook! Every meal she prepared was thoughtfully balanced with vegetables, meat, soup, protein, carbs, and all the nutrients essential for postpartum recovery. I always felt nourished and cared for through her cooking. She also went out of her way to make meals for our older child and was considerate in making sure the baby stayed calm and quiet so as not to disturb him. She is extremely trustworthy — we felt completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She always kept the bedroom door open when the baby was sleeping and was attentive to every little sound or need. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our newborn was in such loving, capable hands. In addition to her incredible caregiving, 黄阿姨 is exceptionally clean and organized. She kept the kitchen spotless and the home tidy, creating a calm and peaceful environment for our family. She gave our baby gentle massages, and she was always very open and receptive to our parenting preferences and any suggestions we had, making the experience feel like a true partnership. Beyond her skill and professionalism, 黄阿姨 brought a wonderful, positive energy to our home. Her high spirits, warmth, and genuine kindness brightened each day. She was also a tremendous emotional support for me as a new mom, always offering comforting advice and encouragement. We are so grateful to 黄阿姨 for her incredible care and support during such a special and important time. She truly became part of our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and deeply caring postpartum nanny.

TLDR: 這位阿姨十分之好，一定會推薦她。 1. Food: Nanny ensured I received tea, 3 meals and 2 snacks every single day, and made sure I had a soup, veggies, protein and carb with all meals. Every bite was nourishing and warming for my body. I never went hungry and I regained my health and strength to the fullest from her meals. 2. Baby: Without a doubt, the nanny was nurturing, attentive and trustworthy with my baby. The nanny shared the room with the baby and she kept the bedroom door open 24/7 so I could also check on my baby throughout the day. I never feared for the baby’s safety as the nanny proved immediately she had nothing to hide and only provided the best care. The nanny was very patient tending to the baby at night (door was left open at night too). Nanny bathed and moisturized baby’s skin, made sure baby was clean, comfortable, and happy. It was evident the baby enjoyed being comforted and being held by the nanny. The nanny also understood American and Chinese baby care and respected any different perspectives that we held. The nanny understood what American pediatricians would recommend vs what a Chinese peds would. The nanny knew very well how to handle various types of breast pumps and milk bottles without me needing to explain anything. Nanny clearly showed she was very proficient and knowledgeable with babies and feeding. Nanny taught me how to burp and help the baby pass gas, and how to play with and exercise with the baby. 3. Breastfeeding: I almost gave up because I had difficulties with the baby latching. The nanny was patient and guided me through this everyday and helped me establish a feeding schedule. Now the baby feeds easily directly from me without me over or underproducing milk, and I can feed without any pain or exhaustion. 4. Mother (me): The nanny helped me establish clear boundaries with my family. The nanny prepared all my meals while simultaneously taking care of my baby. She would not let any other family members disturb me when I was eating or resting or taking a shower. This was crucial for my recovery. The nanny allowed me to bond with my baby after I had eaten and/or was well-rested. The nanny anticipated my every action, my every thought, without me needing to spell anything out for her. She made a ginger and orange peel soak often for my feet and it felt so wonderful. In conclusion, the nanny forced me (in a good way) to prioritize my health while I was under her care and I’m very grateful. A tired and unhealthy mother cannot run a household or take care of the family efficiently. Every day, the nanny would only rest after knowing the baby and I were well taken care of by her. This nanny delivers and is an honest hard worker. After my month with the nanny, I received so many compliments from friends and family that I never looked healthier, and it was all thanks to my nanny. I cried a little when the nanny’s assignment finally concluded at my home. She has changed my view on maternal and baby health, and traditional Chinese medicine, forever, for the better.
