Here’s my review for Aunty Kim:

She is very good! Firstly the moment she arrive, she told me she will go wash up first and she sanitised all her luggage and items. Then she went around the house to understand all the placement of items so that it will be easy for her to find it. She also helped us set up the baby changing station and taught us how to utilise the setup for efficient care of baby.

For handling of baby, she is definitely very gentle. She is knowledgeable and teaches us alot on caring for baby as first time parents. She treats us like family and takes good care of all of us. She gets along very well with the elderly too.

She makes sure baby is well fed/changed/asleep before she goes off to cook/shower/eat. When my husband or family members are at home, she cooks for all of them too, saying cooking for 1 pax or 4 pax is the same so don’t have to worry. Her food is nutritious and healthy, yummy! I miss the yongtaufu and pork trotter vinegar 😃

She goes the extra mile to make things easy for us. When I asked what’s her usual rest time in the afternoon, she says not to worry as she will work it round baby’s sleeping time. She is really chin chai and easy going.

Overall, we have no complaints but instead full of praises for Aunty Kim. Really blessed to have engaged her for my confinement last minute after my last nanny put me aeroplane and all of us miss her alot!!

Aunty Kim shares lots of knowledge about babies. We brought her along to see PD and she was able to answer all questions.

She’s a very easy going non calculative person too! I do noticed that she makes the effort to feed baby in the living room instead of feeding in the room or on the bed. (I guess this way can help to combat sleepiness)

The dishes she cook looks nice,creative and appetizing and its more towards the healthy side of taste. She always prepare the right ingredient for dishes base on my daily health condition and also to our preference. She even request for non seedless red dates as she believe seedless ones will be oxidized already so she rather take effort to remove the seed manually. Before she came she even share with me what are the product to get that are necessary or not a need.

She’s had never request us to buy toiletries for her or what (as i heard some of my friends their nanny request for particular toiletries) She knows that our family doesn’t snack so she will ask us to buy those cheap cheap crackers for her as sometimes she just want a quick meal so she will eat crackers.

She communicates well with my parents and my in laws. So far no communication breakdown.

At time when she’s cooking, we will look after baby ourself but before she pass baby to us, she will make sure diaper is changed and baby is fed.

She helps to wash my husband’s clothes too. And prepare food for my husband as well. She will observe what my husband likes to eat and then she will prepare an extra dish for him.

She encourage us to start learning from her whenever we can so that the handover will be smooth. And she will give suggestions to us on what to buy to ease our workload or more for our convenience after she leaves.
