Hi, my mum's available then and she's great with first timers. Here's a short note on her qualifications:
She's Chinese, age 57, Malaysian, speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Malay, and a bit of English. She can fulfil all the usual expectations of a confinement lady- cooking confinement food, taking care of the baby around the clock, helping with breast-feeding, giving advice for the mothers about taking care of the baby, minor household chores- and just making the newly parents feel as comfortable as possible.
My mum is highly experienced. She just came off a 4-year nannying stint with a family who took her on as a nanny after engaging her as a confinement nanny for their first child. They had twins after that, and my mom looked after them as well. Prior to this, she was working as a confinement nanny for several years.
My mum is extremely responsible and friendly. She cooks well (she is one of the star 'chefs' of my family when it comes to CNY). She's agreeable and won't be fierce at the newly parents when it comes to giving advice. As the eldest of her 9 siblings who grew up in a single-mother household, her motherly instincts and practical household knowledge are top-notch. Anyway, she raised me well and I couldn't have asked for a better mum.
If you would like to set up an interview in Singapore, please whatsapp her at +6018 366 1178 (her name is Ivy). Thanks for your time.
