When I was pregnant, I had booked a Taiwanese postpartum nanny (yuesao) well in advance. But just before I was due to give birth, she suddenly canceled on me… I was honestly panicking. By pure luck, I found an amazing postpartum nanny who was available to come to Mississauga. Looking back now, all I can say is: I’m so grateful for the choice I made! I was able to rest properly and only focus on breastfeeding during the day and pumping at night. When my milk supply was low, she even helped me increase it. By the time she left, I had nearly half a freezer full of stored breast milk. She took exceptional care of my baby. If any baby clothes touched the floor, she washed them immediately. Bottles and nipples were sterilized countless times every day. She handled everything professionally, from jaundice sun exposure to spit-up issues. At night, she helped with the baby’s sleep training. In less than two months, she established a great routine for my baby, and my little one was able to sleep independently in the crib. When my baby experienced gas and fussiness around two months old, she would soak the baby’s feet and apply warm compresses to the tummy every day. It really worked—my baby settled down within just a day or two. She was also an excellent cook. Her chicken breast, shrimp, and fish dishes were especially delicious—healthy, clean, and light without causing weight gain. She had a wonderful personality and was incredibly easy to get along with. She was never pushy, never nagged, and always respected my need for rest. Whenever friends or family came to visit, she would even prepare extra dishes for everyone. She made my postpartum month such a pleasant and stress-free experience. My recovery went very smoothly, and I didn’t suffer from any lingering postpartum issues. When she left, I actually experienced a bit of withdrawal. Suddenly there was no one helping to care for me and my baby, and I found it so hard to adjust. 😭 Even now, she still checks in on us regularly and asks how the baby is doing. 👶🏻💕

Aunt Wu was the best blessing I had during my second postpartum confinement in Toronto. Professional and meticulous, she took wonderful care of both me and my baby in every way. She perfectly regulated the baby’s routine, feeding, and daily care, and helped me recover quickly after giving birth. She also prepared delicious, varied confinement meals every day, making me feel the warmth of home far away from my own country. In this short month, thanks entirely to her dedication and thoughtfulness, I was able to rest and recover peacefully. I’m truly grateful to Aunt Wu and highly recommend her to all new moms in need!
