We hired Hua Hua as our confinement lady for 26 days and highly recommend her without any reservations. From our first interview, I immediately liked her happy-go-lucky and cheerful demeanor. A few months before her arrival, she sent a list of items she suggested I purchase for the baby and food items for post partum meals which was very helpful as this was our first baby.
I had a scheduled C section, which ended up being earlier than expected and she was able to arrive earlier and just in time for when I arrived home. She is truly a baby whisperer and expert and took excellent care of our baby. Our baby had some jaundice initially, and with Hua’s help, it resolved very quickly with her guidance. I had many clogged ducts in my breasts the first few weeks, and Hua did manual massage multiple times to help unblock the ducts which really help increase my supply quickly. She quickly washes and sterilizes baby bottles and pump parts after each use. She is able to soothe my baby without using a pacifier and also ensures she did not develop any diaper rashes by washing her buttocks under running water after each bowel movement.
During the day, she taught me a lot about how to care for an infant - how to feed baby, how to bathe and massage baby, how to trim nails, how to swaddle baby etc and would often sing and do exercises with the baby. Our baby was also very fond of her! In the kitchen, She also cooks very well, often making 5-6 dishes + 1 soup for every meal very quickly. She also enjoys making many desserts! She is open to any food requests you may have.
Prior to her leaving, she also helped do an informal photo shoot with our baby which was a lot of fun! She also accompanied baby and me to the hospital for her pediatrician visits. In the evenings, we enjoyed walks together, and Hua would babywear our infant.
Personality wise, Hua is very easy to get along with and is open to any requests and feedback you may have. It was a pleasure to have Hua in our home as she added such a cheerful, positive and happy atmosphere to what would have been a very stressful time for first time parents! I was able to recover quickly knowing that we could fully trust Hua in our home taking care of our baby. Our regret is not booking her for a longer period of time.
