We were really one of the lucky ones [自拍R][自拍R]. The nanny happened to only have availability in April, and we just managed to get that slot. The rest of this year is already fully booked.
🍲 Cooking: truly in “feeding-a-pig mode”
Every day she would start preparing around 5–6 o’clock. As soon as I came downstairs, there would be three big cups of postpartum recovery drinks ready. The baby would be in the growth chair listening to children’s songs, and the nanny would be calling out that breakfast was almost ready.
While I was still eating breakfast, she had already started preparing lunch. Afternoon tea and dinner were all different every day, and every time it was a whole table full of food.
As soon as I finished eating, she would ask if I was hungry again [汗颜R][汗颜R][汗颜R].
🍼 Feeding & breast massage for clogged milk ducts
Because I was delayed for a few days in the U.S., I already had severe clogged ducts, with two hard lumps like rocks. As soon as the nanny arrived at our home, she checked my incision and helped unblock my milk ducts and apply ointment. The pain during the process was really no less than contractions, but she was super professional. Every time she would end up sweating all over (standing behind me to massage), and after two or three days, I never had clogged ducts again. She also taught me the correct breastfeeding positions and how to avoid pain from the baby biting. At night, when I was in pain, I would pump and the nanny would feed the baby. The bottles and pump parts were always washed immediately and left there perfectly clean.
🧼 Cleaning: comfortable and reassuring
She really loves cleanliness. Whenever I walked into the room, it always smelled nice. As soon as she finished cooking, she cleaned up right away, and the kitchen was always spotless. It just felt especially comfortable and reassuring to look at.
👶 Baby care
Basically every day there would be:
✔ D drops
✔ Probiotics
✔ Face cleaning care
✔ Gas-relief exercises
✔ Massage
✔ Black-and-white cards
✔ Tummy time training
✔ Feeding schedule
💗 Emotional support: treating the baby like a little princess
Every day the nanny gave the baby lots of emotional attention. Whenever she had time, she would talk to the baby and keep interacting. She said, “Little babies need plenty of emotional value.”
👗 Baby’s condition: visibly being raised very well
The baby’s clothes were folded neatly and placed in the crib every day.
Every day the baby had a sweet-smelling little face, a clean little body, and was visibly looking better and better—fairer, chubbier, and cuter.
🌙 Incredibly strong time management
She was never idle, always going nonstop. Every time she ate, she finished in 5 minutes. Even when we told her to take her time, she still ate at lightning speed. Even when she showered, she would only do it after bathing the baby first. If I was breastfeeding, she still wouldn’t stop—she would go prepare my meal [爱心R].
The nanny smiled every day 🥹, spoke very directly, and was especially sincere. Whatever I asked, she patiently taught me. While taking care of the baby, she never played on her phone; basically she only used it to play children’s songs and white noise for the baby.
Every time I went to find her, she was always available [石化R].
Even before she officially started working in our home, she kept checking on me—whether I might get clogged ducts, whether there was anything to watch out for with the baby. Because we were in Buffalo 🇺🇸 and had taken care of the baby ourselves with my mom and husband for 4 days, we truly realized how exhausting it is to care for a baby!!!
After she came, I was genuinely happy! I really felt completely restored!! Both my baby and I were growing nice and plump~ She basically wouldn’t let me do any work and always said, “You’re in postpartum recovery. As long as I’m here, you should just relax and feel at ease!”
