| The agency I used was e-Mother (IN chinese, it is called 'Mommy Bo bo')
For confinement lady service, you can choose how long you want them each day, ranges from 4 hours to 24 hours. They are supposed to be experts in taking care of babies, and also taking care of the new mothers. Their main duties are to take care of babies (and also show the new mothers and/ maids how to do it) and cook all the things which will help the mothers to recover. Some will even do the housework whilst the mothers can rest. Their charges are quite high ranging from $8000 for 4 hours - 26 days to $24000 for 24 hours - 26 days) For me, my main hope was to have someone there to take care of my baby during the night so I can rest peacefully.
However, not all confinement ladies are nasty, my good friend (who was the one who convinced me to hire one in the first place) liked hers so much that she extended her service for 3 months! |
