Kim Yap

I ended my confinement mid of September and my nanny was amazing!

I highly recommend Auntie Kim Yap ! she took care of my baby and I so well! she even became friends with my helper and taught her how to be efficient in cooking and my helper now can take care of us and prepare amazing meals too!

Auntie Kim cooked for my FIL even though it’s not part of her scope. she is very giving and not calculative!

Auntie Kim also taught me so much and gave me so many tips and tricks. really great for 1st time mums. she is very patient with my baby too and I can tell she genuinely loves and care for us.

we are so blessed to have her with us during the earliest stages of my baby’s life and our new parenthood journey. thank you auntie Kim! our family misses you.

My confinement ended in early nov with nanny Aunty Kim Yap. She was amazing.

She is very knowledgeable with the chinese herbs as well as food that a mummy should eat or should not eat in order to aid the recovery. Her cooking is very close to home flavour.

She taught us so much and gave lots of tips and advices on how to take care of baby which is great for first time parents like us. She helps to implement a system in taking care of bb for us too.

She is very giving and not calculative at all, even treated us to a meal when we brought bb out for checks together.

She is very particular about her personal hygiene especially when it comes to handling of bb. She would always bath after cooking or back from marketing before going near to bb. She also cleans up the kitchen, stove area after cooking.

We are blessed to have her with us during our confinement. We highly recommend her especially for first time parents!

Thanks Yvonne Khoo for the recommendation too! ☺️

Auntie Kim is a excellent & very experienced confinement nanny! She has vast knowledge and keep up to date on latest update on post natal care.

She will understand your needs and requirements before her arrival. And advise what to prepare too. –

1. Taking care of baby: She’s caring and gentle and understanding the baby needs. She also share her experiences and how to cope with new born

2. Taking care of mother: She ensure the mother is comfortable and adequate rest. She’s patient in guiding us on how to take care baby, feeding, bathing, carry, breastfeeding & etc. And make sure is done correctly and safely. She’s friendly to our families member too

3. Food: Healthy and delicious and make changes to your preferences. She shared the cooking recipe and how to prepare food. She even brought her own double boiled pot, thermal flask, frying pan and utensils as she aware not all household have them

She is like part of our family and been a great help. We are really happy and appreciate to have her. We highly recommend her. Cheers

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.
