Where would we be without 阿姨 for this past month? We were so lucky to have her help us take care of our baby girl and help me recover. The past month has not been easy (because obviously with a newborn) but she made the transition as seamless as possible by helping my body recover through rest and massages, feeding us the most delicious food, teaching us how to care for our baby, and being there for me every step of my breastfeeding journey as I chased my milk supply. It was not easy, but having her support in the late nights and pumping sessions made all the difference.
I felt so cared for and relaxed knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything except healing and feeding / bonding with the baby. She is organized, cleans the dishes and bottles, does laundry, and handles every logistical need as well as baby fussiness with her expertise. My husband also got to just focus on loving on the baby without worrying about me.
The biggest standout is her genuine love and care for babies. Not only is she amazing with her by comforting her, playing games with her, and talking to her, but you can feel that she enjoys her and all the babies she has cared for. It makes me feel even more confident to trust her with my baby and I cannot recommend her enough.
Her food was also amazing and nourishing, my favorite was her special lobster which we got to enjoy multiple times. She also spent the time every day to arrange her beautiful fruit plates which just shows her attention to detail and dedication. She always said that something like that should make you smile and make this month easier, which it always did.
Will definitely need her for my next one!
