Confinement Nanny Review For Agnes:
We came across NannySOS online and decided on them as their comms seemed more sincere and less commercialized than other bigger agencies. The confirmation process was super smooth and was always responsive to our enquiries.
We are thankful to have been allocated Aunty Agnes as our nanny – as first time parents, she has been nothing but affirming, encouraging and meticulous. Re caring for baby, Aunt Agnes is careful and on the ball – she supported us in tracking baby’s feeds, provided advice and encouragement to normalise and acknowledge our worries, and is responsive to baby’s numerous cues. She was also there for every dr’s visit and somehow keeps up a much-needed aura of positivity even when we are all tired. It is also clear that Aunt Agnes loves children – it was reassuring to see her carrying and talking to baby when baby is fussing, and baby clearly calms down with her presence.
Aunt Agnes also took great care of us parents and the household. She prioritises our dietary preferences without compromising on confinement needs, and is super organised with a daily schedule of mealtimes and confinement bath preps. She is also clean and organised in both the prep works and cleaning up. As an experienced nanny with families in Singapore, we were also surprised and thankful that Aunty Agnes is knowledgeable about commonly bought + effective medications, baby items and where to get certain groceries locally. This provided us with a much needed peace of mind and support in this challenging period. When we started learning and taking on more of baby’s routines under Aunty Agnes’ guidance and supervision in the last 2 weeks, she is also encouraging and supportive and would suggest different methods for us to try out to see which works best for us.
Overall, we had a great period of rest and recovery with Aunty Agnes’ care and presence. She does not impose traditional confinement practices (e.g. no hair washing), prioritises our needs and comfort, and takes meticulous care of baby and the household. She has been a wonderful source of support through the sleepless nights and dr’s visits, and we feel more confident now to manage baby’s care 🙂 Thank you Aunty Agnes and NannySOS!
