Feng Ayi helped our family transition peacefully from one to two children in our small home Brooklyn. She took care of our newborn with great care and extraordinary patience all the while cooking for our family and bringing me snacks. She ensured my husband and I had ample rest and was flexible in letting us take on as much or as little we wanted to with the baby so we had capacity for our 5 year old. She was always calm, confident, and positive with a great sense of humor. These attributes are incredibly important especially because we had a very demanding baby (one of her most challenging babies ever). Our baby had silent reflux symptoms and trouble sleeping more than 15 minutes on her own. Feng Ayi nonetheless performed all duties thoroughly and timely and with a great attitude. She was always sweet and tender towards the baby - chatting with her and giving her massages. There was no oversight needed as Feng Ayi was excellent in her time management and organizational skills. Her cooking is exceptional and she stocked our freezer with some of our favorite things she made. Her dishes are flavorful, healthy, technically refined, yet homey and comforting. My Mandarin is conversational level and my husband only speaks Cantonese, but we did not have any issues with communication. We highly recommend Feng Ayi - even for experienced parents and especially for those who are first timers!
