“Everyday, we work hard everyday to make you a beautiful and confident mum”

At Yanxi Mama, we believe that when the mummy is well taken care of, she will naturally be able to give the best care to her baby. The daddy, who plays an equally crucial role, would have an easier time balancing career, wife, and baby.

That’s why, our commitment to you starts even before your Confinement begins, and goes beyond after your Confinement ends. We want our mummies to feel ready to take over the care of the baby, while returning to the best shape of her life.

What are the differences between a Confinement Nanny and a Domestic Helper?

Each and every one of our nannies are skilled professionals in the area of infant care, basic TCM and confinement food preparation. Meanwhile, Domestic helpers are trained in daily household chores it may not be confinement trained.

If you intend to hire a domestic helper, it is advisable for them to come in earlier, get used to the house first, before learning how to take care of baby directly from our nannies while they are still around serving you.
