We had a wonderful time with our nanny and were extremely satisfied with her work. If I had to describe her in one sentence, both my husband and I would say: she is simply our “Chinese version of Mary Poppins”!
When we first came home from the hospital, the two of us were honestly a little overwhelmed. As first-time parents facing a newborn, there were so many things we did not know how to do. As soon as the nanny arrived, she very naturally took charge of the household rhythm. She immediately began caring for the baby, and also carefully went through the baby supplies, care products, and items in the kitchen. She quickly learned our habits and familiarized herself with our home, which gave us so much peace of mind.
She is extremely organized and methodical. Whether she is caring for the baby, preparing meals, or handling household matters, she plans ahead and approaches everything systematically, keeping our whole home in a very comfortable and stable state.
What touched us most was her patience and attentiveness with our baby. She observes the baby very carefully and is even more patient than we are as new parents. She notices every small change in the baby and promptly tells us how to handle it. She is also a fast learner: whenever we have new requests or parenting approaches, she studies them seriously and masters them quickly.
She was also very willing to teach us hands-on how to care for the baby. From feeding, burping, diaper changes, and bathing, to holding and soothing the baby, as well as how to play and interact with the baby day to day, she patiently demonstrated everything for us. We went from being completely flustered at the beginning to gradually becoming more and more confident.
One thing we especially appreciated was that she always spoke to and communicated with the baby very gently and patiently. She was not simply caring for the baby in a task-completion way; she was truly observing, understanding, and accompanying the baby. As parents, we were genuinely moved when we saw her interacting with our baby.
She also handled newborn issues such as jaundice and eczema with great care and experience, which eased a lot of our anxiety. She observed the baby’s condition promptly and told us what to watch for, giving us first-time parents much greater peace of mind.
In addition, she is an excellent cook! Every day, she prepared different meals based on our tastes and my postpartum recovery needs. The food was nutritious, light, and delicious, allowing us to eat well and rest well while caring for the baby.
Looking back on this postpartum confinement period, we truly feel so lucky to have met her. She was not only helping us care for our baby, but also helping two completely inexperienced new parents grow. She gave us a great deal of practical help as well as a tremendous sense of security.
We are deeply grateful for all of her hard work and companionship during this time. Even a five-star review is not enough to express how satisfied we are! If any friends need a postpartum nanny in the future, we will absolutely recommend her. ❤️
