Gean Fong's Confinement Nanny Service – Jul 27, 2026, Australia

My best friend told me I didn’t look like someone who’d just given birth, and that’s all thanks to Aunty Gean, who stayed with us for a month. Aunty Gean has been one of my biggest supporters, kind, understanding, hilarious, and an all-round wonderful person. Whoever gets to have her next will be very lucky indeed. I felt extremely spoilt during that month, and I know my recovery was so much smoother because of her.

If I could describe her in two words, it would be “baby whisperer.” She knew exactly what was going on with my son before I even had to ask. She looked after my baby as if he were her own, and you could tell she was completely devoted to her role as a carer. She was also super organised, always on top of routines, feeds, and everything in between, which made day-to-day life so much easier. I knew I was in good hands, which let me sleep soundly every night while I recover.

There were so many moments where my son was unsettled at night, and she would hold him close so he felt safe and secure, humming and singing little tunes that made it so easy for him to settle. It was also amazing to watch how easily she handled things like bath time, with barely a peep of protest from him, when it could so easily have been a stressful ordeal.

From day one, I felt completely comfortable leaving my son in her care. She was reliable, punctual, and someone I trusted without hesitation. She also kept me in the loop constantly, updating me on feeds, naps, and little milestones so I never felt out of touch, even when I needed to rest. Whenever something unexpected came up, whether it was a sudden meltdown or a change of plans, she handled it calmly and adapted without missing a beat.

She was also incredibly accommodating of all my needs and requests, cheering me on from the sidelines as I learned to care for him. Her positivity is contagious, and she has such a wonderful outlook on life that it lifted the whole household during a time that can otherwise feel pretty overwhelming. She was just as devoted to my recovery, making sure I got all the nutrients I needed to heal properly, and honestly, her cooking was one of the absolute highlights of her time with us. She had this knack for taking the most unfamiliar ingredients and turning them into delicious meals, simple yet incredibly creative. I still think about some of those meals, especially her braised black garlic pork belly. Before she left, she even prepared and froze extra meals for me to enjoy afterwards, leaving a little part of her with me.

She never left me high and dry, either. She made sure I had all the skills and confidence I needed before she left, patiently talking me through things over and over until they stuck.

I know all good things must come to an end, and she will be dearly missed. I love her very much, and I know that wherever she goes next, whoever has her will be in very good hands. I would highly recommend Aunty Gean to anyone looking for a caring, capable, and dedicated nanny.
