Cindy Tan

Sharing my review of Auntie Cindy:

My best nanny so far! We just had our third baby and managed to engage Auntie Cindy. She is very pleasant and accommodating.

Baby: she takes very good care of baby and is very careful in bathing and cleaning baby. Also very hygienic in handling baby’s milk bottles and helps me to store sterilised bottles in a separate container. She is supportive of breastfeeding and will wake me up at night to feed baby. Then she will take over the diaper changes and is careful to use warm water to clean baby’s bum. In addition, she also makes sure to close the windows and door, and turns off the fans when changing baby’s diaper or bathing.

Cleanliness: Auntie is very hygienic in handling baby and our food. She also takes very good care of my kitchen and appliances (we moved in 5 days before she came to our house so everything was brand new). She will mop the kitchen after cooking and even wipe down the exterior of cabinets and fridge at the end of the day. She is also very careful when handling my pump parts and ensures they are kept in a separate clean container properly.

Food: Auntie’s food is towards the healthy cooking side and I don’t have much sauces for her to use to cook. Yet she manages to whip up wonderful dishes that are nutritious for me.

Others: I have 2 other children under 5 and she willingly cooks for them and even makes breakfast for them when she sees that I’m busy latching my baby. She is very observant and will take care to cook dishes that my children like to eat. My elder son doesn’t eat eggs so she always ensures there’s another protein dish for him. And my younger son loves her steamed eggs so she always makes that for him. She also always steams a fish for the kids because she knows they love to eat it. When cooking for my husband, she also consulted my mum and me on his food preference and portion size to make sure she cooks enough for us to eat. Her cooking tends to be on the healthy and soupy side which is to my personal liking.

Auntie is not fussy about the food she eats and only requests for vegetables to be bought for her. She doesn’t request for anything else and is very easy going.

She is so kind to even help me pack up the kids toys when she notices that they are all over the floor. And she will even make sure to keep the common toilet dry after others use it as she knows my kids always run in to wash their hands and she is worried that they may fall down. Another point worth noting is that she will take note of what is in my fridge, like ripe fruits, and even wash and cut for my family to eat.

I’m so happy to have auntie for my third confinement and she really made this confinement a very pleasant and memorable one. I feel like she is part of my family and hope she can come visit us anytime she wants!
