You can contact my young but awesome confinement nanny.
I named her Nanny McPhee! (If you watched this movie you'll know why)
Nanny McPhee the movie: "When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go".
My Nanny McPhee name is Elaine Teng. Haha.
When Elaine came, I think i do not need one but now that she's leaving TMR! I think I'll miss her OMG. And I think my son will miss her too!
She really takes great care of my son and myself. She nags at me a lot because I can't commit to a good confinement. I'm quite a stubborn person and I rarely get nags at home by anyone. So I'm not used to having a motherly figure looking out for me at home. (What I can eat, drink, do, wear,etc) it's started from WHY she always say NO! Why?! I'm her boss, I pay her money why she say NO to me? Why must I listen to her?! To the present day where I seek consent from my nanny McPhee Elaine if this or that is ok. No regrets. I swear.
Below are my experience, i don't know what else are there but you moms decide for yourself lah.
1) no bathing
I can't take no bathing. Elaine says no for 12 days. But she knows I cannot be controlled. So I give and take la. Bathe once in two days loh. And wipe another day loh.
2) no ice water, no water
Elaine makes longan red dates water for me everyday. It's quite nice actually. She sometimes add ginger because I'm such a brat I always bathe so she have to add ginger in my water to for I don't rem what reasons. But I know its for my own good.
3) no fan, no wind
OMG, my aircon is on daily because I can't take myself perspire like mad so.. Ya my electricity bill is going to go crazy! Elaine entered my house and first words are not hi... It's.. YOU BLOW FAN AH? Haha.
4) no tee, no shorts, no skirts
Elaine only give her consent to me to go out if I wear long shirt and long pants and covered shoe. (I went out on the 2nd week on confinement) which I silently surrendered and went home an hour later. My whole body was feeling crappy. So yes I would advise mom's to be good and listen. Haha.
I don't know what other No-no there is coz I don't listen one lah. But I will share with you my experience!
1) Elaine makes perfect breakfast lunch and dinner for me! I look forward to my meals daily. Sometimes I even dream about my breakfast. I don't ask Elaine what's for breakfast lunch or dinner because she does really great job.
2) Elaine has great hands with my son OMG I'm worried what would I do when she leaves tmr. My son cries and I don't know why, but when I hand him over to Elaine, Nanny McPhee wonder works. I think Elaine attended course or school to learn how to take care of babies. I'm not sure but She sure knows her stuff. Eg.which cream is best for rash, my sons rash is gone in a week after buying the cream Elaine recommended. And the tcm powder thing for my son because he has phlegm. And my son now have colic too. Elaine will share with me her experience etc. Oh... She taught me how to see if my son is going to pee or poo while I change his diapers! Crazy cool! Hahah. Just see his BALLS! Haha.
The sounds she makes to make babies sleeps, can make me sleep too lol! And etc lah. She is really good in her Nanny skills!
It was my son full month party on Sunday and I was bz hosting but Elaine will ask "nag" me to sit down to eat the food first - I listen and grab my food to eat then I suddenly realised Oh there's PLAIN water OMG I want! I took... But it's warm..I wanted ice! I turned to Elaine, did you got warm water for me? She say yes. I felt a sense of wow. She's so motherly! She's like keeping a look out for me! She's not at the end of her service yet and even though it's my GRADUATION from confinement, she still try to erm. Keep me "disciplined" I get to drink plain water OMG! Warm hot also nvm! But once I get home.. Back to logan red dates water again Haha.
She taught my helper how to cook food (she don't mind sharing recipes) and also how to care for infant. She openly share her experiences but it's up to us to believe or not. Some i find it hard to believe but after Elaine being here for a month, she earned my full trust!
Forgot to mention, Elaine and I didn't started on good terms, I was so upset with her for her constant nags at me to go wipe my body! She says to wipe or bathe by 5pm. But I always don't want to listen. OK la my fault la. Maybe really cannot bathe and wipe after 5 la. It's too 凉 if after 5pm. I actually vent my anger at her and I'm still sorry about it today Haha.
Elaine will boil tonic (10hours in slow cooker) for me to drink before bed. It's ultra big bowl. And I will sweat it out. She say coz I always bathe etc one. Forgot reason la but I know its good for me.
I can't say anymore coz there is way too much I have to say of my perfect Nanny McPhee!
Here are some photos of the yummy food she prepared for me and my hubby! Sometimes I have visitors and I'll boldly ask if she can cook extra (nannies don't really cook extra coz they mainly care for the mom and child only) but some is ok one so long mom don't too much la ask for alot!

This is her MARTEL black chicken soup before bed! OMG. She say it's good but I can't take alcohol at all one! But still down it all!
Her contact number (SG) 8424 8363
Msia 0103953906
Please sms her only as she is always at work. She can only sms. Even when she's with me she only sms seldom on call as its so inconvenient.
Elaine can also do overseas confinement.
Please say my sons joke name given by her if she ask for a name :Kim Bo loh! Haha. (Golden pomelo)
Tmr is the last day of my confinement with Elaine. So mom's, faster call Elaine my Nanny McPhee bah!
Sure gonna miss her.
Don't ask me her rates, sms her yourself.
Don't be taken aback if she chases you for deposit, because if you place your deposit with her, she's committed to you she won't fly your aeroplane. I didn't like it when i was chased by her. But when she came I asked her why. She said because she's on waitlisted by many mom's so those who give a deposit first she will book her calendar for them right away. No questions asked. Well that's a right way I believed too.
So... HAPPY CONFINEMENT LADIES!
