Auntie Lay Hong's cooking skill is superb, probably one of the key reasons that make my confinement period enjoyable. She has experience in setting up her own eatery which explains her expertise in cooking a wide variety of food and understanding of ingredients. She also will ask for our preference and make adjustments if required, very accommodating. My husband had gout issue so she also took note of that in the choice of ingredient. She is also very open to teaching, which allowed both my maid and myself learned some cooking skills from her.
Baby Care
I felt really assured by her baby care skills that prompted me to extend her for another 2.5 weeks (would have opted for longer if not for Chinese New Year). She is experienced in various aspects and displayed a calm and ease handling of baby. One key plus point for me was her cleanliness. She is also highly alert for night care, which enabled me to really rest well during confinement where she took care of the baby for all nights. Her professionalism and responsibility gave a lot of assurance, which also allowed my husband and I to take some breaks to go out of the house and have her look after the baby at home.
Mummy Care
I had a pretty smooth recovery so I did not request much from her. She will remind me to rest / lie down more and also accommodate to my request in choice of food and bathing requirements. The key thing I needed was to rest whenever I want to and she enables me to do that by taking care of everything else.
Recommendation & Experience
I have been recommending Auntie Lay Hong to all my other soon-to-be mummy friends as I really enjoyed her confinement service. She has met my expectations in taking care of baby, personal hygiene, cooking and basic housework. Most importantly, she interacts the baby in a way that makes me feel comfortable and assured, as though she is taking care of her grandson. I had a smooth and happy confinement period, which I believed Auntie Lay Hong has contributed a big part to it.
I have a great experience with the family and baby Tyler. They are kind and welcoming, and we have great communication and trust.
