Xiuling Liang (梁秀玲)

We signed a three-month postpartum nanny contract with Sister Liang eight months in advance and paid a deposit. We stayed in communication throughout that time. However, on the day I was discharged after giving birth, she suddenly informed us that she had tested positive for COVID and could not come to our home as agreed, and she refunded the deposit. Because the notice came so late, just as I had given birth and was preparing to leave the hospital, we had no choice but to urgently interview replacements, which had a major impact on our family right after the birth. At the time, I clearly told Sister Liang that I hoped she would contact me after testing negative, and she agreed. But afterward, I never received any message from her. Eleven days later, I saw on her social-media Moments that she had “moved to another city to continue working” and had already started work with another family with twins. I cannot determine the specifics of her COVID situation at the time, so I will not speculate about whether she intentionally abandoned our booking or whether a COVID-positive result 11 days earlier could have affected the health of the next family. However, since she explicitly promised to contact me after testing negative, I was very disappointed that she resumed working without notifying us or offering any explanation. For a postpartum nanny role that requires advance planning and directly affects care after a mother is discharged from the hospital, I believe reliability and communication are very important. This experience caused me to lose trust in her reliability and communication, so I am giving a one-star review.

We had the honor of having Liang Jie in our home in June 2026 for 36 days to care for me and our daughter. Her service is hands down the best investment we’ve ever made. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a yuesao. Liang Jie is warm, kind, optimistic, organized, caring, and professional. She integrated herself into our home so naturally and perfectly. When I was still in the hospital waiting to be discharged, she came to our home and immediately took charge. My husband told me that she assessed the fridge, pantry, freezer, and sauces, making a mental inventory of what we had and what we needed. He drove her to the grocery stores, and she did all the shopping without needing to ask a single question. She stayed up all night preparing the food, so when I came home from the hospital, everything was ready for me. Liang Jie is an incredible cook. She genuinely loves cooking, and every meal she made was both nourishing and delicious. My husband is not Chinese, and she even took the time to learn how to make lasagna for him because it’s his favorite dish. She is also so qingkuai and was always baking fresh bread and cookies for me and my daughter. Liang Jie treated our newborn like she was her own. It was so sweet to watch her interact with and love our baby with all her heart. I knew I could completely trust her because of her extensive experience in this field—she has been doing this work for over 15 years! She helped me with breastfeeding, bathed the baby, changed every diaper, and even gave her little massages. We also have an older daughter, and Liang Jie made sure she felt included and special throughout the entire experience. Because I chose to breastfeed, Liang Jie would help me at night with getting the baby to latch. After I finished feeding, she would take the baby, burp her, change her diaper, and put her back to bed so I could get some sleep. I couldn’t believe the level of care and service she provided. We all cried when she left—not because of the help she provided, but because of the lessons she taught us and, most of all, because it felt like we were saying goodbye to a family member. We still keep in touch with her, and I truly could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a yuesao. She is an incredible person, and we feel so lucky to have had her care for our family.

Sister Liang is an extremely experienced maternity matron. She cared for both of our babies after they were born. We were fortunate to hire her through a referral when we had our first child. Not only did she take great care of me and the baby, but she also helped us establish good routines for the baby, which saved us from many detours. So when our second baby was born, we did not hesitate at all to invite her again. Sister Liang is very organized. She thinks through and even prepares the tasks and meals for each day the day before. So everything is done in an orderly way. Another thing worth mentioning is that her cooking is excellent, with both great taste and good nutrition. What moved us the most is Sister Liang’s personality. She gets along well and works seamlessly with the whole family, including the elders in the home. When she came the second time to care for our second baby, she also got along very well with our older child. Whenever friends around us are looking for a maternity matron, we recommend Sister Liang. We know how difficult postpartum recovery and caring for a newborn can be, and we hope every mom and dad can, like us, meet a capable and trustworthy maternity matron like Sister Liang.
