Ping Xu (徐苹)

After I went past my due date, the postpartum nanny we had originally booked suddenly canceled on us. I was about to give birth, so we had no choice but to urgently look for another postpartum nanny. Unexpectedly, through a lucky coincidence, Auntie Xu happened to be available. Looking back now, I truly feel incredibly fortunate. On the day Auntie Xu came to our home, she had spent the entire day traveling from San Francisco to Seattle and did not arrive until the middle of the night. As soon as she came in, she left her luggage by the door, washed her hands, and immediately took the baby from my arms. She told me to put on more clothes so I would not catch a chill, and to hurry back to my room and sleep. I had gone through 26 hours of labor in the hospital, a major hemorrhage, and then cared for the baby myself for 48 hours. I had not cried once through the entire process. But that night, when Auntie Xu took the baby from me and I finally lay down in bed, the tears suddenly started flowing. In that moment, I truly felt that someone had finally come to catch me—I could finally sleep without worry. During our video interview, we had mentioned news stories about postpartum nannies secretly giving babies sleep aids and similar things, so as first-time parents we naturally had some concerns. The next day, Auntie Xu proactively opened her luggage for us to see and took out all the supplements and similar items she had brought, placing them in the kitchen. We had not asked her to do this at all, but this gesture made me feel that she was very open and straightforward and very considerate of new parents’ worries. Our baby was a difficult little sleeper. She slept very lightly and would often open her eyes after falling asleep to check whether someone was beside her. Even the slightest sound could wake her. Auntie Xu was truly incredibly patient with her. Whenever she cried, Auntie Xu would pick her up and soothe her again and again, never becoming impatient because she was hard to settle. Our baby later had a tongue-tie procedure, and Auntie Xu was also very experienced and patient with postoperative care. What impressed me especially was that when our little one had her tongue-tie procedure, she cried intensely. Seeing how uncomfortable the baby was, Auntie Xu herself was so heartbroken that she cried too. For us, it was truly rare to find a postpartum nanny who is both experienced and genuinely loves the baby. Later on, our baby clearly recognized Auntie Xu. Near the end of Auntie Xu’s assignment, the baby was crying intensely from being overtired, and no matter how we tried to soothe her, nothing worked. As soon as Auntie Xu took her, held her, and said a few words to her, our little one immediately calmed down. That moment was both funny and hard to part with—the baby truly knew who had been caring for her every day that month. Auntie Xu was also extremely attentive in caring for me after childbirth. I had never been in the habit of eating breakfast, but she worried that going too long without food during postpartum recovery would make me uncomfortable or cause low blood sugar. Every morning, she would repeatedly come to the kitchen to check whether I was up yet and find ways to get me to eat at least a little. She made three meals a day, nourishing soups, and postpartum drinks with variety. The food was relatively light and home-style, but also delicious. Most of the dishes in the photos were made for us by Auntie Xu—she truly fed our entire family very well. In addition, Auntie Xu was very professional with traditional Chinese medicine techniques for stimulating milk production and relieving blocked milk ducts. She knew I was especially afraid of pain, so her technique was always very gentle. Early on, when I was very anxious because my milk supply was low, she was also consistently patient in comforting me and helping relieve my stress. That month, Auntie Xu was not just a postpartum nanny who came to “care for the baby and make postpartum meals.” Especially during the period right after giving birth, when I was at my most disheveled, physically weakest, and completely unsure how to care for a newborn, having an experienced, reliable, and patient person at home truly brought us so much peace of mind. When her assignment ended, our entire family found it very hard to say goodbye. The one who probably missed her most was our little one. If I have a second child in the future, I will definitely reserve two months of Auntie Xu’s availability well in advance. Thank you, Auntie Xu, for accompanying our family through the first month of our baby’s life. Thank you as well for taking such good care of both me and my baby when I most needed rest and recovery.

As first-time parents, the first maternity nanny we hired only worked for ten days before we replaced her because we were dissatisfied in several ways. It was not until we met Auntie Xu that we truly understood what a “heaven-sent maternity nanny” is! She absolutely deserves a big five-star review! First of all, Auntie Xu is a very professional traditional Chinese medicine lactation consultant. I often had blocked milk ducts after giving birth and was in terrible pain, but whenever she was there, she could quickly help clear them. Her technique was professional and gentle. Once, I went out to take care of something for nine hours and came back with my breasts blocked, red, painful, and with a fever. Auntie Xu immediately helped massage and clear them, and in just 40 minutes my temperature was completely back to normal. She relieved so much of my suffering and truly was my “savior”! She is impeccable both professionally and personally, a truly excellent maternity nanny who puts mothers and their families at ease! Second, her postpartum meals were absolutely outstanding! Not only were they nutritionally well balanced, but she was especially skilled at all kinds of dough-based foods. Auntie Xu spent 20 years in Guangdong when she was younger, and the many varieties of medicinal soups she made were delicious. My recovery in every respect during the postpartum period was excellent! She was originally responsible only for my postpartum meals, but whenever relatives or friends came over, she would ask whether help was needed and what everyone wanted to eat, and she could make all kinds of different dishes. Our whole family and friends could not stop praising her—she turned our postpartum meals into banquet-level family meals! What moved us most was her character. She has an especially good personality and is very broad-minded, and she got along extremely well with our entire family. Day or night, whenever we needed her, she was always available without complaint. She was especially thoughtful and attentive with our baby. Our baby was born 20 days early and was not fully developed. Through her careful care and adjustment, the baby developed a very regular routine, so when it was time for us to take over, the baby was very easy to care for! Eating and sleeping were still very regular, and the baby became chubby and adorable! I sincerely recommend that sisters who are still deciding should not hesitate if they meet a heavenly maternity nanny like Auntie Xu!

It was only when we became parents for the first time that we truly understood that postpartum confinement is not something you can just “push through and get over with.” The period after our baby was born was almost complete chaos for us. We couldn’t tell day from night. Feeding, changing diapers, soothing the baby to sleep—every single task felt like a test. Especially in those first few days postpartum, the atmosphere at home was very tense. Everyone was exhausted, but we didn’t know how to adjust. Later, after Auntie Li came, the whole household gradually became stable. On her first day, she didn’t waste time on formalities. She naturally started arranging routines for both the baby and the mother. When to feed, how to monitor jaundice, what bath water temperature was appropriate, how to reduce the baby’s startle-waking at night—she handled everything very skillfully. What was most valuable was that she was very detail-oriented, but never made people feel pressured. When the baby cried, she could quickly tell the reason; when the mother felt emotionally low, she would patiently chat and comfort her. Many problems we were encountering for the first time, she had already anticipated and taken care of, which saved us from a lot of unnecessary detours. What I remember especially clearly from that time was the sound from the kitchen every morning. She would get up very early to prepare postpartum meals. The soups, hydration, and nutritional balance were all carefully planned, and she would adjust them according to the mother’s recovery. Our home finally no longer felt like a battlefield, and slowly began to regain a rhythm of daily life. Under her care, the baby was doing very well the whole time, sleeping much more regularly and becoming stronger and sturdier. As first-time parents, it was also through her step-by-step guidance that we gradually built up our confidence. What truly matters about a postpartum nanny is not just knowing how to care for a baby. It is that during the time when a family is most exhausted and most prone to anxiety, having an experienced and emotionally steady person by your side makes so many things feel much more reassuring. Auntie Xu is exactly that kind of person. Serious, dependable, and patient; responsible toward the baby and also very caring toward the mother. After spending time with her, she no longer felt like “someone we hired,” but more like a trusted elder in the family. Looking back now, those hardest days really were much easier because she was there. We are also very grateful that she accompanied us through such an important period in our lives.

Our baby was born two weeks early, and during that time our whole family was extremely anxious and overwhelmed. We’re truly so grateful to Auntie Xu. When we needed help the most, she immediately adjusted her schedule and arrived at our home within two days. As soon as she got here, she took over caring for the baby, and I was finally able to catch my breath a little and get some rest with peace of mind. Auntie Xu is truly very experienced. She can often anticipate things in advance and prepare ahead of time. She took especially meticulous care of the baby and was also very patient. In two months, the baby’s weight directly doubled, and now the baby is chubby and adorable. Every time we see the baby’s changes, we feel especially comforted and also very lucky. Besides taking care of the baby, she also helped stimulate milk production, dry-wash my wife’s hair, soak her feet, and cooked nutritious and delicious meals in different ways every day. Most importantly, with her companionship and care, my wife recovered very quickly physically, and her mood stayed very good the whole time. She almost did not experience postpartum depression at all. To us, Auntie Xu was not just a maternity nanny, but more like the support and strength a family gives during the hardest stage. She is optimistic, motivated, serious, and loves learning, and all of this deeply influenced me. We really feel fortunate to have met Auntie Xu, and we sincerely hope everything goes well for her in the future. If there is another opportunity in the future, we would definitely want to work with her again.

Five-star recommendation for our amazing postpartum nanny, Auntie Xu Ping! ❤️ From the day our baby was born until now, Auntie Xu has truly been an enormous help to our entire family. The first thing I want to praise most is that her care for the baby is truly very professional, meticulous, and patient. She handled the baby’s schedule, feeding, burping, bathing, and gas relief care very skillfully, and as first-time parents we avoided a lot of detours. Especially when the baby was fighting sleep or had gas, she could always quickly figure out the cause and calm the baby down. She also taught us how to purchase baby-related products, and we learned a lot of practical experience. Secondly, her traditional Chinese lactation massage is really excellent! Her technique is professional and very gentle. At the time, I was extremely uncomfortable from clogged milk ducts and engorgement, and after she helped relieve it, the improvement was very obvious. The whole process was much more comfortable than I had imagined. She also gave suggestions for postpartum recovery and dietary adjustments based on my physical condition, which made me feel very reassured. In addition, Auntie Xu works very efficiently and neatly, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is very punctual. She is very good at observing the rhythm of the household, so she never made us feel the pressure of “having a stranger in the house”; instead, she felt as natural as family. She also cooked very delicious postpartum meals—light and nutritious but not monotonous. Soups, stir-fries, dumplings, egg-filled pancakes, etc.—our whole family liked them very much. What is most rare is that she is emotionally stable and communicates smoothly. You can feel that she truly likes babies and sincerely hopes the mother recovers well. Our whole family is extremely grateful that she was with us during this period. ❤️

Time really flew by—these two months passed in a flash, and I absolutely have to give a huge shoutout to my treasure of a yuesao, TCM lactation specialist, and maker of heavenly postpartum meals, Auntie Xu Ping! Auntie Ping’s TCM lactation support was truly amazing. Her technique was professional and gentle, and the effect of clearing the milk ducts was immediate. She helped me solve a huge problem without me suffering at all. Her postpartum meals were even more incredible! The Cantonese herbal soups were nourishing and pleasantly sweet, and the northern-style noodles and flour-based dishes were different every day. I looked forward to every meal! Auntie could open a restaurant! She also adjusted the nutrition based on different regional living habits—she understood me so well! During these two months, my baby was cared for so well, fair and clean, and never had diaper rash, eczema, heat rash, or anything like that. She cared for the baby with such attentiveness and patience. Seeing my chubby, adorable baby already able to interact at two months made me so happy. I truly thank Auntie Ping for all her thoughtful effort and careful care! Thanks to Auntie Ping, who carefully prepared Chinese herbal foot soaks and various medicinal meals for me every day, my body recovered wonderfully over these two months under her attentive care. I strongly recommend her to any sisters who need help! My recommendation will not disappoint any sisters who are about to become moms!
