Confinement Nanny (Pui Yuet)? To hire or not? Recommendations

[Allysha2]

My Pui Yuet is excellent but do you speak any Cantonese?

Hi, would you mind giving your Pui Yuet/s contact. We are fairly new in HKG and I am looking for a Pui Yuet with baby due early next year.

Thanks!

It is not true that pui yuet doesn't support breastfeeding. You would need to find one that support your believe. Its like finding an obstetrician that is pro naturally delivery instead of c-section. My pui yuet even cooked soup that helped me produce more breastmilk supply! I would recommend her without a second thought.
Our pui yuet was there to burp Baby. changed his diaper. Helped put him to sleep. She helped us coping with the newborn first's month at home. She even helped train our new domestic helper while I got some much needed rest! She didn't do anything we didn't like. After all, we are the employer, I can't understand how some mothers had nightmares as they claimed...
Pui-yuet's job is to look after mother and baby in the first month after delivery. The pui-yuet doesn't necessary need to live in. It's optional. You would need to pay extra if you need her 24hrs a day.
Despite of bad things we heard, I can tell you that our experience was great. Our pui-yuet did provide a lot of benefits to everyone, including my MIL, husby, baby and myself.Having a pui yuet is like having a midwife around.The atmosphere was relaxed as we knew we were under good hands. We ended up hiring her for 3 months. We loved her so much that we gave her a red pocket !
